Celta de Vigo, please. Just up the road, friendly club, tonnes of octopus washed down with Albarino. What more could a Villa fan want?

A Francesinha washed down with Alicante Bouschet.

You're strange.

We have a chance of playing Roma in the quarters. Malen return?

Only the knockout round draw will be from 1300CET/1200 GMT. We won't know our exact opponents until the R16 draw on Friday 27th Feb.

Order will be unseeded knockout teams with bracket position decided on the order of the draw. Then seeded teams with first drawn going into left bracket and second going into the right.

One of Red Star / Celta Vigo / PAOK / Lille in the next round.
Draw is from 1200 tomorrow.

We have never met Red Star or PAOK in competitions before.

Dejan Lovren and former Everton also-ran Jonjo Kenny are the big names in the PAOK ranks.

And Iago Aspas, who had a short spell at Liverpool after impressing at Celta as a young striker, is back there and considered the club's greatest legend at this point.

I hope the resolution is ok.

[Meanwood Villa]

Works for me. It's not going to be a cakewalk.

We're now 5/2 to win it, followed by Roma (6/1) and Lyon (17/2).

Want to avoid Celta Vigo and Lille. Hopefully they draw each other and then we have a 50/50 chance of doing so. If they avoid each other decent chance they both go through so we are bound to get one of them. Lille would be the worst draw given that we only played them recently and Giroud always scores against us. Best draw would be Red Star to add to the list of European Cup winners that we have played.

In the other draw, Newcastle get Carrierbag. Nice 3000 mile trip for them.

Belgrade is moody, would rather avoid having to go down there.

[Somniloquism]

PAOK v Celta

Lille v Red Star


We won't find out who we play until the end of Feb when our draw is made. Looking at the brackets, the "easier" one looks like the left one.

[Somniloquism]

Fenerbache v Forest

Celtic v Stuttgart.

[AV82EC]

Silver side looks easier there.

Silver side looks easier there.

What’s your beef?
