CL Quarter Final Draw

So fudging annoying, wish I could have bet on it.

It’s not even the difficulty of the task, it’s such a different atmosphere playing a top European team, especially for the first time at the new ground. I really fancy us with half a chance against a European team as they don’t know our strengths and weaknesses as well, Dortmund for example sat off at Wembley and allowed us to impose ourselves.
 
1) Didn't want English club 2) If English club, didn't want City.

We are fudging cursed. When was the last time we got the soft draw late on in a competition?
So no CL final. No FA Cup or league cup and an almighty struggle for top 4.

Can I have my old stadium back please.

I agree, but we were never going to get to the final anyway - at least not without the kind of luck that's reserved for Chelski, Arse and Pool.
 
What is it with us and terrible draws?
A London Derby away in every round of the carabao cup including a two legged semi- final against our rivals .The group of death two years running and Juventus in the last 16. The German league leaders and now the premier League leaders.
The scousers with another easy draw !!
Why don't we ever get a favourable draw!
We are cursed !

It's the law

The atmosphere we create is a big thing
They don’t know what an atmosphere is now at City... it’s quite shocking up there
 
So the narratives are fixed for the semi.

City v Juve
Barca v Liverpool

Then the final will be CR7 v Messi or Pep vs his old club. Or by some ridiculous quirk of fate a rerun of Heysel.

I’m not disputing what we bring as a crowd, but European teams are something different. This is just a domestic night game against a team we play twice a season.
 
Emirates Marketing Project fans over on Blue Moon forum seem rather delighted by this one.
 
Am I right in thinking one of us and semi final 4 will have to reverse so Manchester clubs are not at home on same night? Could be that we offer to play home leg second?

Or will the just split us over Tues and Wed?
