Thoughts on CL draw?
I actually quite like the CL draw for us. As long as we can put in a shift vs galatasaray - which I feel we will - the team always steps up when it comes to the bigger European teams. Its always complacency with the other prem teams/ teams we are expected to beat I feel we can wobble (appreciate Chelsea are on our side of the draw but don't see them beating PSG as it stands).

I v happy with the Gala draw, I don't think they are all that good and I think over 2 legs we will beat them fairly comfortably. Disappointed with the rest of the draw though, don't see us being good enough to beat PSG (I presume they beat Chelsea), and even if we did, the semi-final is going to be extremely hard going.
I think if we were to get to the final this season, with the way we are playing, we would've needed a v favourable draw (like Arsenal's) to get there. In a final, anything can happen in a 1-off game, so who knows, but I can't see us getting through on our side of the draw.

Who would we get in the semis, Digger?

If we want to win this CL, then we're going to need to overcome Gala and then turn up against the big teams/rivals. Our consistency hasn't been great this season, and raising our game to play rivals in City, Chelsea and United has seen us lose 4 times.

Irish, it's Man City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Atalanta, so piece of cake.

I think Irish Bayern will make semis on our side of the draw. Only me guessing, of course!
