Had to laugh at the sky sports banner for this earlier. Rags and spurs first two on the list and we were 2nd from last.....
We have to beat everyone but I'd prefer a trip to Porto than Turin let the rags have them again. That said, no way are the English teams being kept apart so something has to give

Whilst I appreciate that liverpool doesn't have the squad for an attack on two fronts. I feel there is a fragility about them that could be exposed if they were to lose tonight. I think I'd prefer them out.

Not sure if Henderson getting injured counts, seeing as they're a better side without him.

Agree. We’d be their worst nightmare.
It would fuck them up in both PL and CL.

I know we have reason to be confident, but we also haven't really faced top opposition in CL this season so it will be interesting to see what happens.

We had to scrape out some results and had trouble in moments this season, as does it seem happens to us in CL. We don't often seem ourselves, other than the last half against Schalke - a team that is in disarray.

I was most worried about Atletico before this round due to their style being the type that causes us problems, but now I'm not sure.

Other than Porto or Ajax, I would not feel supremely confident. I know Ajax have surprised, but I don't think we would take them lightly after what they did to RM.

I'm not so sure playing a PL club would necessarily be ideal, but maybe I'm just haunted by last year's quarters.

We've stepped up when it mattered recently, especially against Liverpool, but the experience and quality on Barca and Juve make me nervous.

I still think we can beat anyone and win it, but I think our track record in the competition has been iffy at times, despite getting the quarters for the 3rd time in the past 4 seasons. Again, our lack of games against the best in CL this season and this does make me wonder how we will perform, say compared to the other PL clubs who've had much more difficult roads to this stage.

We are building a team to reach the final, this was never going to happen overnight. Look at the Munchens, when was the last time they reached a final for a so called powerhouse? You need luck, good team and dodgy refs. If we don't panic, be self assured, make our own luck, handle the pressure, pressurise referees, who knows how far we can go

UEFA themselves are who I’m most afraid of. Anyone else we can handle.

If we draw the Dippers again, I expect their fans to actually try to kill some of our players this time. Went unpunished a year ago, and now they have a PL prize being dangled as well.

Ideal draw in my opinion:

Rags v Dippers
Us v Porto
Spurs v Ajax
Barca v Juve

Semi draw is also tomorrow, isn't it? I'd take the winner of anyone from that list if we got through, but would prefer the winner of Spurs-Ajax, to make it a bit easier.
