CL Round of 16 Draw: Dortmund

[Robbo]

Schalke - City
Atletico Madrid - Juventur
United - PSG
Lyon - Barca
Roma - Porto
Ajax - Real
Liverpool - Bayern

 

[Robbo]

So that's likely City, Juventus, PSG, Barca, Roma, Real Madrid and Liverpool + us/Dortmund in the quarters.

Oh!

 

[Moby]

Oh!

Indeed. Unbeaten, on fire and 9 points clear of Bayern.

Did NOT want them!

 

[MKSpur]

I don't care who we get, it's not like a proper cup game you can afford to lose yet still win through and you can't avoid playing the good teams if you want to win it.

I just wanted a glamour team we hadn’t played, I also think PSG and Bayern would have been easier! Hopefully the new WHL factor will help it be a great night!

 

[NickTB]

Gonna be some fudge off atmosphere for this one

 

[MKSpur]

Not the hardest draw, at least. Should be able to beat them.

Brave. There’s a winning mentality!

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Unfortunately Partizani Tirana have been knocked out so we have to play a decent team, I can't understand why anyone worries who we get, if you want to win things you have to beat good sides.

 

[MKSpur]

Gonna be some fudge off atmosphere for this one

Yes hopefully with only home supporters in our home end...

 

[P.D.]

Not too bad a draw, Dortmund have acknowledged that they need the winter break as finding it difficult to keep up their press and energy levels. See what they are like in 2 months time, we also won at their ground before.

 

[AdamB]

even though they're flying at the moment, there's quite a lot of time between now and the last 16 games so form can change a lot

 

[greatwhitenorf]

We did OK. Dortmund are doing well in a mediocre Bundesliga. I had them ranked below Barca, ManCity, Juventus and, maybe, PSG.

Good nights out for both sets of fans.

 

[nayenezgani]

Think it'll be Dortmund.

Ding, ding, ding!

 

[greatwhitenorf]

Nice of you not to toot your own horn.

 

[El Guepardo]

We can beat them, won’t be easy, but we beat them twice last season so I’m not overly concerned

 

[nayenezgani]

Nice of you not to toot your own horn.

Can toot yours if you like?

 

[Gutter Boy]

Perfect team for the night time debut of the Park Lane 'white wall'

 

[greatwhitenorf]

Can toot yours if you like?

Ha! I work in sports. Rarely make predictions, so nothing to toot about.

 

[Ade's folks are ok really]

Would've preferred Bayern as, Lewandowski aside, I can't see toooo much to concern ourselves with there. Plus would've probably been deemed more glamorous than Dortmund.

Porto obvs would've been kinder. But let's be fair it could've been a lot worse.
