CL Draw :cry:

[The Jorge]

Manchester City FC v Real Madrid C.F.
Atlético de Madrid v FC Brian München

[Sir C]

So the drug cheats at Real Madrid versus which other drug cheats in the final?

The fascinating question du jour: Are the drugs in Madrid better or worse than those in Bavaria?

[The Jorge]

...I would have to say Madrid, it's the climate, see.

I predict a City v Bayern final. massive Pep love-in ensuing and a cliché toss of a coin final.

[Monty92]

How do they decide who plays home and away first at this stage, out of interest? Is it still done based on seeding?

Oh and what the **** is a "Quick Reply"? Does it let you type faster?

[The Jorge]

Quick reply is title only.

Glad you could make it, Kelvin.

[SWv2]

First out of the hat = home. Old skool.

No idea what Quick Reply does, sorry.

[Monty92]

So it's random?

Hmmmmmmm. Seems to me that the big boys ALWAYS get drawn away first leg. Hmmmmmm indeed.

Apart from Barcelona and Bayern in the round just gone. Maybe that was based on seeding.

[Luis Anaconda]

No - all down to pot luck

[reg]

Nonsense! If it was all a lucky dip, we'd have won about eight of the damn things by now!

[reg]

Don't care really, so long as Pep doesn't win it. He'll be utterly insufferable next season if he does.

Yes, dawned on me after that Real were away to Wolfsburg so seeding completely irrelevant.

I am sure a footballing statto could demolish the argument for or against first leg home or away advantage anyway.

There is a new board anger & vitriol about you that I do not recognise (assuming you are who I think you are).

Hounds etc.

Impossible to collect that data in a relevant way, I should have thought. I agree with Wenger; that it's better to play away second is all just footballing superstition.

I tend to mis-trust anything he says away from basic player availability as I see his comments mainly as him either pontificating on issues he should not comment on in an attempt to deflect away from his own annual failures, or him using circumstances to makes excuses for annual failures.

Yeah, cannot log in properly yet. Rather like yourself, by the looks of things?

Because the big boys tend to win regardless, innit. And everyone believes it's better to play the second leg at home.
