Hey people whats ur opinion on the CL 2nd round draw? I think british clubs ought to be happy as they have it easy except maybe liverpool.Ill tell u guys what i think of every match up.

FC Porto V Chelsea: Nothing much here. Chelsea should romp home.
Celtic V AC Milan: At first glance, it seems that Milan should win this comfortably, but looking at their domestic woes , I dont think its that easy to call. Still Milan are firm favourites, but count on Celtic to give them a fight.
PSV Eindhoven V Arsenal: Gunners should take this one easily.
Lille V Manchester United: yea,yea lille did give manchester a tough time last year but this year i think the red devils must be thanking their lucky stars for drawing the french minnows and should win this one quite easilu.
AS Roma V Lyon: Lyon are favourites for this one, In fact the are the favourites for winning the CL.Dont however expect, Roma to lie down and get beaten.If Totti is fit for this one, expect a tough contest as a roma team led by the king of rome himself is anything but easy to beat. Nonetheless, Lyon are the favourites.
Barcelona V Liverpool: A mouth watering clash to say the least. The last two european champions drawn together. If the match would take place now I would feel that Liverpool have the edge as the spaniards are missing the likes of Eto'o and Messi. But unluckily for liverpool fans, it isnt now and its in feburary by which time both the above mentioned players should be fit. But its not all bad for liverpool fans. For the second game in march, Its barca who hace to travel to Anfield and we all know how liverpool play at anfield so its anything but easy for the champions. I cant call this one, I think its 50-50.
Real Madrid V Bayen Munich: Yet another exciting clash. The german powerhouse against the spanish powerhouse. Very Very difficult to call this one, but im gonna give Real the edge as they have no doubt been galvanized by Capello's coaching techniques and new players like Van nistelrooy.Still a very very very close one.
Inter Milan V Valencia: This could turn out to be yet another close one but i think that the Italians have too much quality and firepower for the spaniards. Inter should win this one.

So thats, that and what do u guyz think on the matches? Phil,Tony tell me how u guys see it.

I think the Barca v Liverpool matchup is gonna be a doozy, if Liverpool can keep it close in the first leg then I think they'll be alright.

Celtic really didn't get a good draw even though Milan is not playing that well domestically I think they should be heavy favorites which is too bad for Celtic. If only they could play both games at home.

If there's one upset I'm hoping for it's Porto over Chelsea, call me petty but I can't stand Chelsea, its players or its manager.

aww come on tony!!! im a huge gunners fan, surely the gunners can beat PSV! dont agree with u on that mate..

Celtic beating Milan? Tony, you do realize they have to travel to Italy for one game. Do I sense some Scottish bias here?

[obsidianrock]

I might as well give it a try too, here are my picks:

1. Porto (hope over logic here)
2. Milan
3. Arsenal
4. Man U
5. Lyon
6. Liverpool
7. Madrid
8. Inter
