Can’t see us getting the easiest draw possible, that stuff just doesn’t happen to us.
Chelsea v Barcelona is the most likely tie in Champions League draw
Chelsea could well find themselves on a collision course with Barcelona in the last-16 of the Champions League with that the most likely outcome from Monday's draw.www.dailymail.co.uk
Highest chance of drawing against Valencia

I think we’d play worse if it did
The ESA have fielded another suggested change to the CL.
They suggest that the group stage be removed and replaced with a straight up 32 team league. Each team plays 10 games against 10 different opponents. The 8 best teams directly qualify for the knock out stages and the remaining teams face off in a play off over two legs to select the 8 remaining teams.
Knock out stages remain unchanged.

And, the kicker, anyone who makes the last 16 automatically qualifies for the next season's group stage.
The stuff coming from the elite clubs in Spain and Italy (others too, but they always seem to be the ringleaders) is always that they don't want to have to compete in their domestic leagues to guarantee European riches.
They want a breakaway Super League, but they'll settle for fielding reserve sides in the league, moved to midweek as much as possible with the glittering CL showpieces on the weekend, with the easier path to global TV audience above all else in mind.
Fight this. Scorn it. Speak up. These people are hell bent on destroying football.
Luckily for us the PL and Germany are still anti a breakaway league - cant see this happening.
Are we truly a top 16 team in Europe?
Were we truly the second best team in Europe last year?
This is a knockout competition where there is some luck involved with who you draw. We were the second best in our group of 4. You don’t have to be the best team in it to win.
Monaco is Munich in Italian?
Perfect as for the European super league the yanks and the tv companies so desperately want tho
Don't drag us into this. No US fan of a PL team I know would be in favor of this, to say nothing of the harm it would do to MLS.
Which is ultimately a big force against it. Yes, foreign TV audiences would probably lap up a Euro Super League, but the football powers that be in those countries are all aware that this would mean total colonization of their domestic market. It's a different sort of threat than summer friendlies which are (arguably) symbiotic to the local game.
I meant the Yank owners of football teams rather than your average blue collar American.
Oh you mean like the Glazers and the Liverpool bunch.
I do think they probably see the value in the PL, but yeah, 100% do not trust those bastards.
I think so.
We’re the second beat team in Europe - with only Liverpool being better than us.
These are FACTS as Rafa Benitez would say.
