Yeah that explains it better, then again we can only meet Inter or Arsenal at the earliest in the semi finals.

The number of people frothing online at the fact there is a draw on Friday and then again on 21 Feb is nuts.
Who gives a shit?!?!?!

Weâre the top scorers in PL. Have scored less in CL but thatâs partly due to good defensive performances and conserving energy

Seeing heaps of âBig teams will learn to rotate squads, doesnât matter where you finish.â
Not sure about anyone else, but Iâm thinking the fact we canât play the other in-form teams of the comp until the penultimate/ultimate rounds is a decent carrotâŚ

We canât meet RM, Bayern, City or Arsenal until the semis, or Barca until the final. Definitely worth finishing first!

To be the best, youâve got to beat the best. Absolutely no reason why we canât see off Madrid or Munich. Khusanov will be settled, Marmoush will be scoring, weâll give them a hell of a game, and they should be just as worried about playing us.

So Man Cityâs run of fixtures will be Madrid, Newcastle, Madrid, Liverpool, Spurs. Ouch.

They play us a few days after playing City. Just like we did, and it was easy!
Bottom half of the draw looks slightly easier at this stage. Obviously have to wait to see where top 8 get placed. Shame they didnât just draw it all at once, imo.

We find out our fate on 21 February.

Yep. I think weâd prefer to be drawn in the bottom half along with Villa (Lille look dangerous), Leverkusen (donât want Atletico shite housing and injuring our players) and Inter (Although Arsenal wouldnât be much tougher).

Iâd rather take on Lille than VIlla. Lille look dangerous but over two legs fine.
All English ties can go either way. That said, I hope Man City knock Real Madrid out I think, and I think Slotâs already in Pepâs head.
Edit: would rather Arsenal over Inter too I think! Maybe thatâs a crazy shout, but Inter low block lower than low.

All things being equal, I think I would prefer to draw the bottom half of the bracket.

Slightly easier? Top half is brutal.

Sadly the Arne Slot derby looks to be a very distant pipe dream unless both us and Feyenoord make it all the way to the semis/finalsâŚ
Iâm glad Man City and Real Madrid have got each other. With neither side showing their best form so far, though Real Madrid have picked up a bit, this is the real consequence. Notwithstanding Man City having a dodgy spell in the Prem, this tie could easily be a semi final or final, so itâs good for us that one of them will be going out. Itâs also good for us to play Man City in the league while they are in a tough run of fixtures.
Itâs a joke that they couldnât do the whole draw now, and we get it in installments.
I fear no-one, but clearly one side of the draw looks easier than the other.
