my opinions on these draws:
tottenham have a lot of fight in them, and harry is a fantastic coach. but is he enough to take out mourinho? i don't know. i know real has been on a decent run of form, and tottenham haven't been so much, but being 5th in the premier league doesn't mean shit it seems. i think with a playmaker like gareth bale taking on someone like ronaldo in mid field i don't know who will come out on top.
chelsea and manu. fuck manure, fuck em long and hard. we beat em three times last season, we've beaten em once so far this one, and they beat us in the community shield. it will be a match to be remembered. but i just have to stand by my blues. we've had a shite season, but everyone is coming out of injury this week from what i've read. with a full stocked defensive line back on, benayoun to feed the balls to torres like their liverpool days. i just don't see why we couldn't beat fergie (in the stands) and old potato headed rooney on the pitch.
shakhtar doesn't lose at home, i keep hearing about them having a great home record, and how they've won at the nou camp a couple years ago. barcelona want it, pep doesn't want to get burned again. people want barcelona gone though, and shakhtar could be giant killers. even though i don't think they deserve to be in it.
and as for inter and schalke, schalke just sacked their coach and are in some troubles. i give it to inter all the way. defending champs against some minnows from germany? inter has it.
