Not totally confident we'll get through but yes, I'd probably agree that would be the strongest last 8 ever.

Never thought I'd see the day where man utd could potentially be the weakest out of 8 CL teams

True, it is quite strange.

Is Airbomb Robb? It reads like one of his articles.

6 of those potential 8 are the teams that are top of the having the most money list.

I would love to see Dortmund or Atletico win it.

Yes. How good are you at anagrams?

There was an article I read the other day that said Atletico are best equipped to beat Bayern. I'd love to see Atletico be drawn against them.

2nd article today.

Should give it away as we have only been getting 2 a day in total the past week or so.

It's a great competition, this year. I looked like all the teams that won their group were gonna progress, something I can't remember happening before.

Then our shower of shíte put in that performance. Still hopeful that we can storm them at OT though, but the away goal will be a killer

The Olympiakos game will tell us all about how Moyes will be as a manager for us. He has my backing at the moment but if he doesn't go for it even i'll be doubting him.

He's made mistakes but i'd hope he learns from them. But the biggest mistake he could make would be approaching that game with a defensive mentality.

Airbomb = I am Robb

Genius

Real madrid for me this season.

He's made mistakes but i'd hope he learns from them.

The trouble is Robb we have had very little evidence that he is learning from them.

You would think that Kagawa would be a cert for Olympiakos.

I bet Young and Valencia play.

I don't think they'll play - certainly not both of them anyway.

The only reason they played in the first leg (not to say I agree with their selection, which I don't) was because Moyes was looking to go out there and come back with a respectable result. I think it's commonly accepted that was a poor plan from Moyes but there's no doubting that's what he did.

In the second leg he goes in knowing we'll need at least 2 goals, if not 3 or 4. For that reason he knows he has to go attacking so will not start with Valencia and Young.

If he does start them it's not his tactical nous I will question, but his IQ and sanity.

You may be right. I'd say it was a fair bet at least one will play. We battered Leverkusen with a front 6 of Fellaini, Carrick, Kagawa, Valencia, RVP and Rooney.

If Nani isn't fit i'd like to see that again. If Moyes goes with the same front 6 from 3 weeks back even I couldn't find excuses for Moyes.

I imagine one of Young and Valencia will start, preferably Young, who carries a goal threat.

As much as everyone dreams of the likes of Januzaj, Rooney, RVP and Kagawa playing this interchanging, narrow football.... It can be very, very easy to defend against, if the opposition don't need to attack.

We need to stretch the pitch a bit and try to find some space in what will be a Greek wall. I'd play Young on the right and Januzaj left.

--------------------De Gea-----------------

Rafa----------Smalling--Jones---Evra

-------------Carrick---Fellaini------------

----------januzaj-----Rooney---Kagawa----

--------------------RVP---------------------

^ well... that landed on deaf ears

In an ideal world, we would have Kagawa playing centrally to unlock the bus... But Rooney and RVP will start

Perhaps Giggs is the key…

But then again, perhaps I need to up my medication.

Fairly similar to last year.

Bar Malaga and Galatassaray, last year had five of those teams with Juventus as the 6th.

Nothing particularly revelatory there, old chap.

last season was the first time in a long while i can remember the semi finals actually contained the 4 best teams in europe hopefully this year can be the same, provided they all avoid each other

Real
Barca
Bayern
PSG

would be an awesome last 4

I'd expect us to beat PSG and Atletico over two legs. Possibly Chelsea too.
