I bloody love this draw - always throws up a couple of ties that promise to be classics but never actually deliver. This time round is no exception, but I'll get excited anyway with a quick run through of my tips to progress.
Stuttgart v Barcelona - Barcelona all day long
Olympiakos v Bordeaux - easy passage for the French champions, one of my outside bets to go all the way
Inter Milan v Chelsea - get the fuck in. You can only imagine the reception Jose will get. So much depends on the San Siro leg - Inter are a much better prospect with their quick forwards and Sneijder's left foot is the best in the world. I hope it's tight, but Chelsea are favourites for a reason and will shit on the Inter midfield.
Bayern Munich v Fiorentina - very tight but I'll tip Fiorentina as they seem to have a habit of scoring bags of goals home and away. Bayern have one of the best starting 11s in the competition, on paper, but can't help but concede.
CSKA Moscow v Sevilla - another team I think can sneak to the very late stages, Sevilla will win home and away
Lyon v Real Madrid - you never know. Yeah why not, I'll go for an upset. Lyon regularly beat Madrid at home in the Champions League, and I can image Lloris playing a blinder in the Bernabeau. There isn't a better keeper in the competition.
Porto v Arsenal - I hate Porto, absolutely diabolical football and will never punch above their weight. Arsenal won't be looking forward to marking their big bastard strikers, but if they need to win 6-0 at home in order to progress, they will do.
AC Milan v Man Utd - Beckham returns to Old Trafford, but will leave on the losing side as his team have Onyewu Tiago Silva in defence. People are suggesting United have a mental block against Milan, but seriously, they have Onyewu and Silva in defence.
Go stick a tenner on at laddy's - no need to thank me.
