Is the draw going ahead if the Atalanta v Villarreal game is not played by then? It would be a bit irregular if they're not allowed to draw either a Spanish or an Italian team.

The only tricky sides for us in this are City,Bayern, Chelsea and maybe Ajax as a dark horse and we won't face any of them. We are miles ahead of the rest imo. This Barca side has Memphis depay as one of its best players ffs, would love to draw them.
I guarantee there will be one team that everyone will be wanting to avoid and fortunately it is impossible for us to meet them in any round
However if something serious happens to them I will eat my own cock.

Sudden heavy snow I think.
Rafa Benitez: "I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager. Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."

All the teams are strong, which is why its the Champions League. However, we have absolutely nothing to fear from anyone. We are in very good form ourselves, have top class players across the pitch and only have a few injuries here and there. I think we'll be more than ready for whoever we face. The home/away format also suits us too. I actually hope we face PSG and Bayern in the coming legs because I fancy our chances are better over a home/away legs format than a single encounter in a final where anything can happen.

Haven't really paid much attention to club badges before, but there's some right shockers in there.

Atletico and Lille look like they could be American football franchises, Inter looks more like a car brand, Salzburg is basically just their sponsors logo, Juventus looks like a motorway sign, and Ajax looks like a doodle, or one of those optical illusions that could be a princess or a witch.

Bayern's is OK but uninspiring, and tells you nothing about the club. Only ours, Real, Benfica and Sporting look like proper football clubs. Even Utd's is half decent, but they blatantly copied it from our previous version.

City, Chelsea and PSG just look like cheap beer mats.

So if we correctly assume that City will get Stevenage FC, that leaves us with PSG, Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon, Benfica, Villarreal or Atalanta, Red Bull Salzburg, who are all worse than a similar level team in our group.

I'd like anyone but PSG. Like mentioned though, as they can't draw Lille or City, there is a fair chance we get them. Hopefully United get them and City get Inter and Chelsea get Bayern.

Thanks - I didn't know that. I might allow them into our elite group of club badges.

Still think ours is the best - it has our club colours, the Liverbird, the year we were founded, the Shankly gates, our club motto, and the eternal flame all in one great looking crest.

We're favourites against any of them
Inter are the one we'd least want, they're clearly the best Serie A team.. not saying much these days but guessing they're the hardest matchup here
PSG are obviously tough ish and their forwards give them that wild card element but we'd be a nightmare for them

That's 3 teams (out of only 4) that you really wouldn't want to be drawing.
