Away game first.

As long as we're are still in it for the second leg it'll be rocking at the LS.

Hang on.. not Liverpool...

Not in the semi either.

Perfect, we've avoided Liverpool all the way to the final!

[LimmerickLad]

Settle for that.

"If" we can beat them it'll ps off UEFA's hopes for their dream final.

AC vs Roma is a pair of games that will be played for hours without a goal scored in stadiums fogged from flare smoke.

Liverpool got the easiest draw of the QFs for sure.

Leverkusen are unbeaten this season - very very tough game.

Saw the Gooners have Bayern, then either Real or City in the Semis!!!

Bit gutting to draw Leverkusen as they are on an insane run but, within Europe, I'm going to go out on a limb and say I trust Moyes and it's Moyes IN. We aren't going to get relegated and I'm sure Moyes would like another trophy for the CV, I'm sure he'll sit back for a draw on the away leg and then figure out how much of the kitchen sink we can throw at them for the home leg.

I'm a no - apologies for taking an age to respond... assuming that you don't all immediately fall out, a future pint would be good.

I have no problem him setting up like that in an away first leg of Europe to keep us in the tie. It's when he does it at home to Burnley,and the sundaypubhangover11 teams that does us fans in.
I trust him to never get us relegated (I didn't panic last season), I don't trust him to not absolutely bore me to sleep watching us never have the ball.Come what may, next seasons renewal is a real dilemma .

[BrabusMog]

Agree 100%

[coldel]

And Alvarez is suspended for that first leg

[Richtea1970]

Good luck to all those going up and meeting up today. I can’t make it today but will be following online, COYI !

[TCEvo]

Areola back in goal & Emerson replaces Cresswell. Otherwise as per Thurs.

Watkins starts for AV, no McGinn.

Enjoy the drinks, chaps.

COYI!!!

I thought Cresswell had a good game but Emerson links well with Paqueta and I'm delighted to see Micky stays up front!

Baring in mind the opposition that’s the most intensive 45 I’ve seen from us in a long long time.
Don’t know how long into the second half we can keep that up but that was exactly what we cry out for.

Can't see AV playing out/making that many mistakes SH. Shame we didn't score another.

Good stuff though so far.

[Richtea1970]

Can see how Antonio was ruled out as handball. From the replays didn't look like it even touched him.
