Champs' League Draw

Arsenal have got Fenerbahce. Feel sorry for their fans.

Celtic off to Kazakhstan. Only temporarily, unfortunately.

PSV-Milan probably the tastiest match. Other than that, seeding has ensured pretty uninteresting mismatches.

Watched the draw live, and UEFA will put the fixtures up on their website 'within the hour'. Which basically means 59 and a half minutes after Wikipedia does...

Cheers, that is a very uneasy draw for Arsenal, Suarez might look at that and think, oops, Dear Mr Agent, tell everyone I have been misquoted and I want to go abroad for Champions league and the english press are dogs again.

apparantly fenerbache were banned from european competition for match fixing, but have appealed but no decision as yet,so in theory arsenal could lose and still go through. but no solution to that scenario as been made.

Is the best solution not to kick both teams out and give United a bye to the final? Surely Gill could pull a few strings.

And Spurs sell Bale, don't replace him and make the top 4.

Does anybody really believe that Fenarbache will beat Arsenal? If Arsenal are having problems there will be a few decisions go their way to get them back on track.

Perfect way for UEFA to exclude them. If you can't do it one way, cheat.

Looks like the scouse boss has dug his heels in and come out ok. Apparently, Suarez has been signing autographs at the club after training, trying to redeem himself.

Even if they were given no 'favourable' decisions, they should beat Fenerbahce at a canter.
