Champions League - First Knock-out stage draw.

Fuck off, Scholes > all of them

Don't like Xavi tbh, think he acts like a bit of a dick on the pitch- same as Puyol and Alves.

Nor do I, but he's better than Iniesta.

Some tasty ties. Inter v Bayern should be good.

Easy enough draws for United and Chelsea, I think Tottenham v Milan will be a great game, could go either way, Arsenal are fucked.

Iniesta edges it for me, just prefer the way he seems to have more energy and pace in his game. Basically they're both fuckjng brilliant

Yeah they're both brilliant, I think Xavi is better, but this is why I think Iniesta is overrated.. a few people see him score a cracker v Chelsea then the winner in the World Cup and he's 89 on FIFA and people think he's better than he is.

Can't wait to see the Arsenal vs Barca matches. I Firmly believe that they've going to lose by an even heavier scoreline than they did last year. Last year they managed to draw 2-2 at the Emirates, but that scoreline did not justify the match itself, Barca should've been 4-0 up in the first 15 minutes. It was unbelievable to watch tbh.

Barca have improved since.

Arsenal struggled against what could be called, the weakest Man United side in recents years.

It's a no brainer tbh. I would be very very surprised should Arsenal go through.

How refreshing is it to see that Man United finally draw a hard team in the last 16? Oh wait.

Those are the people who don't have a clue though. He think he ran the show in the CL Final in 09, even though people will probably say Xavi did because he hit the post and got an assist.

They got Milan and Inter for two years Marsellie are no joke either, though United should progress.

I think Iniesta stands out more than Xavi whehn I watch Barca tbh.

Still love Xavi aswell though.

What the fuck are you on about? We had Milan last year and the Italian Champions Inter 2 years ago.

Hate the cheating cunt. Especially when he got Chivu sent off in the Semi-final.

Yeah, he's a fucking piss take

Mascherano wasn't much better.

Thats cause Xavi does all the work behind the attack.

Don't be silly, Iniesta does nice dribbling and nice short passing, looks better.

Xavi only runs the game better than anyone here has ever seen.

Tbh, Poulsen > Xavi and Iniesta combined.

Not sure..

I really want Arsenal to win, that would make Xavi look like a twat.

Why is everyone hating on Xavi?

Because he's so cocky.

Every time they draw or lose he has an excuse, moans and has some superiority complex where if you don't play like Barcelona you're not playing football properly.

An Arsenal side without Van Persie, Vermaelen, Gallas, Arshavin, Fabregas (2nd leg) and more....

Barcelona without Messi are a lot worse.

So don't write us off yet. Hercules beat Barcelona.

This, we had Silvestre in defence in the 2nd leg for God sake . Will Real Madrid actually break their 7 year duck of not qualifying for the quater finals this season?

Whoever is using the logic of because Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5-0 they'll beat Arsenal by more is just a stupid cunt. Anything can happen between now and February, Messi picks up an severe injury ruling out of for 2 months etc.

my pred

Milan x Tottenham
Valencia x Schalke 04
Roma x Shakhtar Donestk
Arsenal x Barcelona
Lyon x Real Madrid
Copenhague x Chelsea
Inter x Bayern
Olympique x Manchester United

They still have Villa, Pedro, Xavi, and Iniesta. Barca without Messi >>>>>>> full strength Arsenal

Pedro is a fringe player who wouldn't be anything special if he wasn't at Barcelona.

Arsenal had a lot of injuries and tbh it would've been very close if both sides played full strength last season......this season I'm not so sure as the defence isn't so great for Arsenal.
