Five of Chelsea,Bayern,Dortmund,PSG,Liverpool,Atleti,City,RM,Barca,Napoli are going out. Thats some massive teams about to go out in R16.

If Mourinho had a dream draw & a pathway to CL finals, this would be it.

Werner and forsberg are the two biggest dangers. Good defence in upemacano and mounie. Think we will draw there and win narrow at home.

Pretty happy with that draw. Also pleased with the draw for the other English teams. Some cracking fixtures in that lot...roll on February!!!



Who wants to know how RAWK reacted to our CL draw...













:LOL:
Honestly how can Liverpool moan about easy draws after the last couple of years!!

Leipzig are a good side, they wouldn't be top in Germany as we speak if they weren't, but we have to use our European experience to our advantage.

Fortunately, and I can't believe I'm saying this given how against his appointment I was, I trust Jose on this one.

Not having a go at you personally but doesn’t that just demonstrate the irrationality of those who were dead against Jose’s appointment?

Surely the whole point of bringing Jose in was to get a guy who’s won it all in, who inspires confidence that he can find winning solutions to tough draws/situations etc?

At least for those travelling to Leipzig it will be a relief that Thomas Cook are not handling the travel arrangements :)

I thought that Jose's man management issues of recent times would overshadow his winning qualities. So far it seems I'm wrong.

I work under the umbrella of Red Bull global football. Really, the only real complaint I can understand is the changing the crest/club name and their history. The rest of it, who cares?

Because they take players from Salzburg? What's the difference between that and Chelsea loaning 20 players to Vitesse?
Because they market their brand through the team name? Every single club in Europe has a sponsor on their kits. How is Red Bull different to Bayer Leverkusen when it comes to name/logo besides Leverkusen having a longer history?

I really don't understand the hate, especially when City Football Group has far more teams under their umbrella and their owners are legitimately horrid people.

Red Bull are not Leverkusen or PSV. Them teams sprouted up to give the workers recreational activities etc, Red Bull are a piece of shit company, cynically exploiting sport for advertising purposes and to top it all off, their drink is fucking disgusting!

They destroyed Salzburg and have a better MK Dons on their hands in Leipzig. Let me guess, you don’t see any issue with MK Dons?

Would be nice if the five that went out were -
Bayern, PSG, Liverpool, City and Barca...
