We'll probably get Inter, knowing our luck, and United'll get Copenhagen, but you never know, Copenhagen could be a right laugh for us :P

Yeah Chelsea always get hard draws oO).

Anyway I can see Arsenal beating Barca then losing to someone like Shahktar Donesk as that is how they roll.

The Arsenal v Barca draw will be quite a fun one to watch. If the good Arsenal show up, fit and uninjured like last year which everyone seems to forget, it will be a great game of football since they both love the possession game.
 
What everyone is forgetting is that Spurs will be resting their players for the bigger test against Charlton in the FA Cup.

Maybe even if that was true, the FA cup 3rd round is January. whilst the Champs league starts again in February.
 
Totally disagree with everyone saying that Copenhagen will be easy.
On current form Copenhagen would destroy Chelsea.
 
very happy with arsenal v barca if we get through great if we don`t then aleast it will be against probley the best team in it.(H)

think spuds will take ac myself,and manu n chelski will walk there games easy imo.
 
copenhagen will be coming back from a long break then , they will be lacking match fitness. besides Lampard is back again

I want us to draw AC Milan.

Beating both Milan giants during our first Champions League campaign would be incredible for us.

Woop. :)

Also happy to hear we'll be playing the second-leg at White Hart Lane.

I think we'll be able to get through if we tighten up a bit. Our goalscoring in Europe is second to none at the moment. Given it is in February, we may well have our first-choice defenders back in action to complement the team going forward.
 
As Wenger said, difficult, yes. Possible, yes.

Of course it will be difficult to beat Barca, but we can most definately do it. It took a freak game from Messi to beat us last time and I doubt/hope he will/will not repeat it. We win at Emirates, and the reverse leg will be very interesting. As Van Persie said (I think it was him), you have to beat the best, so why not do it now.
 
i think arsenal can beat barca this year, theres only 2 barca players better than nasri atm in my opinion and if van persie and fabregas are back and fit and wenger buys a decent goalkeeper (we can only dream) then theres no reason they cant win, barca arnt as great as everyones makin out and theyre defo not unbeatable and ill always back english clubs against anyone.
 
Chelsea V Copenhagen
Man United V Marseille
Arsenal V Barcelona
Tottenham V AC Milan
Real Madrid V Lyon.
Roma V Shakhtar
Valencia V Schalke
Inter V Bayern

Sides in bold to go through for me.

You obviously haven't seen them this season.

They beat Madrid 5-0.

Sorry it's a bit off-topic but just watching SSN and noticed that Barcelona's Chief Executive is named;

Amador Bernabeu.

Thought that was quite ironic (A)

Seems United fans will be expecting to go through easily, I reckon they'll be in for a shock.

I reckon Spurs could suprise a lot of people this year and go very far in this compotition. I doubt they will get top 4 again this year but i think they have a team spirit and confidence that is perfect for knock out football.

I personaly would like to see them go all the way and win the thing. Along with City they've been a breath of fresh air that football in this country needs.
