Best ties are obviously City/Barca & Gooners/Bayern ... Milan/Atleti won't be bad either.

Chelsea and Manure got easy ties, as did Madrid.

Manchester City v Barcelona - I don't know why, but if Kompany and Nastasic are healthy, City will smash them.
Olympiakos v Manchester United - The curse of DB continues.
AC Milan v Atletico Madrid - Atleti are the dark horses here ... They are the only team that I think could stop Bayern.
Bayer Leverkusen v Paris St Germain
Galatasaray v Chelsea
Schalke v Real Madrid
Zenit v Dortmund
Arsenal v Bayern - While I think Arsenal may win here, I'm only picking Bayern as the pressure increases on them ten-fold every time the 'trophy drought' stories pop up, and they always do after they got knocked out of cups.

Utd fans creaming themselves with that draw. Think they could go out against anyone imho.
City, Arsenal and Chelsea have all got difficult draws.

The City-Barca and Ars-Bay games will be insane.

The City-Barca and Ars-Bay games will be insane.

Barca's defense is average - and if they don't buy Agger in January, or get Puyol healthy 100%, City will absolutely smash them at home. It is going to be a great tie - that's for sure.

David Moyes is about to become a CL guru

Yup ... this has Rafa @ Liverpool written all over it ... and Pat will be creaming himself.

 

[Fox]

I wonder who we will be drawn against this time next year

 

[Leo]

Moyes could never afford a holiday in Kavos at Everton so he should be delighted with the draw.
Munich will rip shreds out of Arsenal.

Am I the only one who has a horrible feeling we could get 4th only for Utd to win the fucking thing and steal our place. I assume thats just perfectly normal paranoia kicking in and that the first decent team they meet will tear them apart like wrapping paper on Christmas mornin

I fancy City to beat Barca, Arsenal are fucked though

I think (OK I hope) that the Utd V Olympiacos tie could be a tricky one for the scum. Olympiacos would be able to hold their own in the premiership (the only Greek side at the moment who could do so). The away fixture will be difficult and Moyes has managed to turn old trafford into a fortress. A fortress made out of pillows and cushions plundered from the sofa.

 

[Mors]

All the away team from the draw above. Being at home home for the 2nd leg is a good advantage.

Manchester City v Barcelona
Olympiakos v Manchester United
AC Milan v Atletico Madrid
Bayer Leverkusen v Paris St Germain
Galatasaray v Chelsea
Schalke v Real Madrid
Zenit v Dortmund
Arsenal v Bayern

I think Chelski, City, Milan games could go either way though.

 

[StevieM]

I don't think any game in that round is a sure thing.

Would have been nice if Man Utd had tricker opponents - but they're well capable of fucking it up.

 

[Spionkop69]

Typical Utd. UEFA didn't get the memo that Ferguson's gone obviously.

It's fine. They'll have less of an excuse when they get knocked out by Olympiakos.
