We've got Real Madrid!

[chinaman]

We conquered Italy. Now we'll singe Spanish beards.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

I'd rather have the possibility of knocking Real out than the possibility of being knocked out by Schalke

 

[Wsussexspur]

Hotel booked flights booked! Now to sort out tickets!

Oh well fun when it lasted

But the year ends in 1 if you want to win it you have to beat the best

 

[mpickard2087]

Gonna be very hard but this is what its all about, to play Madrid and then possibly Barca shows how far we have come.

Real will be very strong favourites to be honest, but we can get at their defence IMO and then its all about how well we defend. We did it well against Milan for two legs and I remember BAE having Ronaldo in his pocket for the whole of a Cup final so who says he wont do this again? :grin:

COYS!

 

[Mr Pink]

Hearing alot of United fans saying both Spanish Clubs have a bye to the semis lol...

I'm all for us being underestimated again....it always suits us.

I actually think Barca will struggle away at Shakter, very difficult place to go and their away record isn't impeccable by an stretch.

I expect them to win and go through but its not as clear cut as some are making out IMO.

 

[MattyP]

Whoop whoop, my wonderful boss has agreed to my request to get a day off during our busiest time of the month, so I'll be off to Madrid on a nice little day trip.

 

[Mr Pink]

Who knows what players they'll have out too...I'm watching all Madrids games between now and when we play them :grin:

 

[TaoistMonkey]

Bets on Van der Vaat getting sent off? :lol:

 

[mark87]

What I love about this draw is that we will see VDV playing OUT OF HIS F*CKING SKIN in both legs.

 

[Mr Pink]

VDV will be so up for this....

 

[Flemish Spur]

I've checked the Dutch Real Madrid forum and the Madrid fans are indeed very underestimating us. We were by far their favourite opponent, and now they are already talking about the semi final against Barça !!! Nobody's talking about Spurs, they don't even know the names of our players (except for Bale) ! We'll punish them severely ;-)))

 

[maltahotspur]

If the 1st leg is on the tuesday does that mean the 2nd is on weds? Or both the same day?

2nd leg at the Lane Wed 13 April.

Surely they know VDV Eek

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho: "I'm happy. Not because it is easy, but because I love to play in England."

we have to make this guy pay!!!!!!!!

 

[stemark44]

Ronaldo and Ozil are the two players that worry me.

Exactly the way we want it...but Mourinho will know full well what are strengths and weaknesses are.

They'll double up on Bale....no Mourinho side will go into a game at this stage under prepared no matter the opponent.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Surely they know VDV Eek

:lol:

You'd hope so...

They must know Crouch too, and didn't Defoe score a couple against Holland fairly recently? If they have much interest in football they'd know Gallas too

 

[$hoguN]

Great tie, definently winnable if we play well

 

[Mr Pink]

Yep for sure...also we need to get stay close to Alonso, a lot of their supply comes through him...could easily run the show - still think he's a class player.
