Manchester United’s 08/09 Champions’ League Opponents
Today is the Champions’ League draw. This, coupled with the lack of progress on the Berbatov front (only four days to go), have made my job infinitely easier — I don’t have to come up with a longish post today.
Since the Champions’ League draw starts at 4:30pm (BST) I will leave the stage to you to come up with your predictions for our opponents. (I know, I can be a lazy prick at times).
So here are the pots:
Pot One
Manchester United
Chelsea
Liverpool
Barcelona
Arsenal
Lyon
Inter Milan
Real Madrid
Pot Two
Bayern Munich
PSV Eindhoven
Villarreal
AS Roma
FC Porto
Werder Bremen
Sporting Lisbon
Juventus
Pot Three
Marseille
Zenit St Petersburg
Steaua Bucharest
Panathinaikos
Bordeaux
Celtic
Basel
Fenerbahce
Pot Four
Shakhtar Donetsk
Fiorentina
Atletico Madrid
Dynamo Kiev
CFR Cluj
Aalborg
Anorthosis Famagusta
Bate Borisov
Okay, let’s see who gets their predictions right. The winner will get to do what no one else would be able to: swell with pride as much as Fat Frank on a pie-only regime, and boost his ego to an extent that would make Ronaldo squirm.
So, over to you…
PS: We’ll update this when the results are up.
Update:
Here’s our Group:
Manchester United
Villarreal
Celtic
Aalborg

@Craig Mc: The blog’s system sometimes puts comments on hold sometimes. It’s bugs in the system.
And about complaints, anything that concerns a problem a commenter may have on other fellow commenters that’s not United related needs to be done off the comments section with me. That’s my policy on here.
And I can’t understand why it bothers you if people email me their concerns. Whining in public on the comment threads always distracts from the discussing about what we’re here mainly for. And I don’t mind banter about United or anything you want in general. But I take issue with name calling and stuff like when a commenter is wrongly accused of stuff and he needs his concerns to be redressed.

Villarreal! Can’t wait! They have two great young attackers in Jozy Altidore and Giuseppe Rossi, should be two great attacking games hopefully.
Celtic games should be good too

@Red Diablo: He’s probably taken a break. I would tell you if I had booted him off. But I haven’t. So I can’t say.

Nigerred, do you just like smilies, or are you sending us all a message in smiley code?.
RedRanter, I didn’t say it bothered me that people moan their concerns to you. I just said that I don’t understand it, nor would I ever do it myself, as you know. Still whatever turns people on I guess!.

Oh and Red Ranter, so it was you who tranquilised the blog, when it was so quiet and sedate, that I had to stir up a Rooney hornets nest, to wake us up from the deadness lol!.

It is tough to disregard as it comes from one of the few rags that seems to have any integrity. I hope it isn’t a load of bollocks.

Red Devil, for heavens sake, not you as well with the smilies!. I can see an overuse of smilie bans being introduced, and sooner, rather than later please.
