I fear my kids are going on holiday at half-term without their Daddy. Yes the away leg is first.
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Easiest possible draws right through until the final will do!!
Foxes1 Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Dortmund will do, they are shite defensively , mind you they do score goals as well
Spudulike Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Really hope that Arsenal get either Porto or Copenhagen.... and lose
RowlattsFox Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 I think we'll go out whoever we draw but best chance will be Benfica or Leverkusen. As am unlikely to get a match ticket I'd like somewhere nice to visit. German or spanish team will be great. Hoping we're not on valentines week as prices might be up for flights and hotels. I get the feeling we'll get Real Madrid.

KrefelderFox666 Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 The first leg will be away on either Tuesday 14th February, Wednesday 15th February, Tuesday 21st February or Wednesday 22nd February. Either way, I cannot attend the away leg due to expecting a baby in early Feb so I really hope we get a nice tie and qualify to the Quarters so I get another go. The home game is in March, again a choice of 4 dates in the middle of the month. These are announced hours after the draw on Monday 12th December, so we will know exact details that day. As has been said we cannot draw an English team or Copenhagen/Porto (or a group winner of course). So we are likely limited to 5/6 teams. Leverkusen are guaranteed runners up and at the moment would be very favourable. However, they could find form by Feb/March. I think we need to avoid Dortmund/Real, Atletico/Bayern and probably Seville/Juve. Those teams would school us over two legs. Leverkusen, Benfica/Napoli/Besiktas would be nice.
Dan Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 One of those will be half term surely. Good news for my Dad and one of my mates if so. Will mean they finally get to do one of them.

Otherwise I would not be choosing them, it was purely from a possibility of geting through perspective!
ST20 Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Leverkusen are the team we must hope to draw. They have a history of choking.
AjcW Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 So.... I may as well be the first person to raise the subject of tickets.... Do we assume that those who purchased a 3 game package will have first dibs on the home leg? Then followed by ST holders, Gold, Silver and City members?

I should think it just goes STH, Gold, SIlver, City etc. However, there is a valid point for potentially selling to 3-game-package holders first. Who knows, sure we will find out very soon.

I doubt the club would risk angering STH despite the fact that they may have chosen to miss these ties in the hope of a later glamour tie.
RonnieTodger Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 This is madness. Everyone in the last 16 can beat us, but some of these teams would make for more incredible away trips.

Hmmmm it's a tricky one, I have to say i'd be angry if the order is ST, Members, 3 Game, General. Fair for me would be ST, 3 Game, Members, General Because then it is in order of the initial outlay before extra games costs are included.
Corky Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 As long as we shithouse several 1-0s with Kasper making worldies at the end and the crowd have panic attacks from 60 minutes onwards before we nick it with a Jeff stunner in Cardiff after 12% possession against Barcelona.
AKCJ Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Last night marked the year to the day when I told my mate "Could you imagine if we actually ended up winning the Premier League?!". On the journey home after beating Newcastle to go top of the league. Last night I told him "Could you imagine if we actually won the Champions League?!"
Wymsey Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 I genuinely believe we will make the semi-finals. But winning it will be equivalent to aliens being found somewhere, would feel strange and totally unexpected.

sylofox Posted 23 November 2016 Author Posted 23 November 2016 Tony Cottee said last night we would be dangerous for anyone in Europe. Let's see what Jan brings we could do this semi would be great.
ealingfox Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 If Lyon were to geg in at Sevilla's expense Id consider them the plum draw. Not far, great city, their new ground is massive so decent allocation and we can deffo have them over 2 legs. Otherwise Leverkusen or Benfica would be best.

Those two (plus one) are the sides I'm hoping for.
lcfcfoz Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Bye besiktas. benfica look likely to finish runners up, unless they can beat napoli at home, not sure who i would prefer, really need bayern to get a winner, much prefer atl madrid than bayern
