      Its almost impossible to compare the sides left in it to say whether we have a good draw or a bad draw.
      the way I look at it the leagues fron strongest to weakest  and current tables would be

      1. Premier League    Chelsea- Man u- Arsenal- Liverpool
      2. spanish la liga      Real- Barca- valencia- Sevilla
      3. italian serie a       Inter- AC Milan- roma- palermo
      4. french ligue 1       Bordeaux- Mont pellier- Auxerre- Lille
      5. german bundesliga  bayern- Shalke- bayer Leverkusen-barussia Dortmund
      6. portugese liga  benfica-braga-fc porto- sporting

      Teams left in

      Liverpool    5th in strongest league
      Benfica       top in 6th strongest league
      valencia     3rd in 2nd strongest league
      Fulham       10th in strongest league
      hamburg     5th in 5th strongest league
      wolfsburg    8th in 5th strongest league
      standard liege  7th in belgium league
      atletico madrid 10th in 2nd strongest league

      So I think valencia would be the next best team left in after us, and standard liege the weakest

      I know we better be in better shape than the other night if we want to go through, I watched Benfica in a game on tv and they looked terrific, having said that though, they are there to be beaten, and if the Aquilani plays like he did against Portsmouth their is no reason why we shouldn't progress. We have a tough rout to the final, Fulham's looks to be much easier than ours, but I think playing Benfica could bring the best out in us, it could then help us in a run in.

      Don't really matter who we get along the way, all teams remaining are as good as each other, we're slightly better, it's really how the teams perform over the 2 legs that matters. It's Benfica, so be it, let's wallop them and have an easier team in the final. We need to stop them playing football, a skillful side.

      Just think if the Blueshite could of beaten them, we would be playing them for an easy ticket to the next round.

      For everyone saying it's a tough tie, if we we're in the CL and drew these we would be dead pleased, not really worried by them, because I know that we we're the team that nobody wanted to draw, they will be fearing a serious beating if we show up.

      And the semi looks tasty (if we get there of course!)

      It is going to be a tough tie, even if it was in the Champions League, i think we are more likely to go through than them but they wont be scared, they took us apart twice in 2006.

      We can beat any of these teams, Benfica away will be tricky but Im full of confidence.

      As for the final, would like to play the team with the smallest following.

      More tickets for us then  ;)

      I couldn't care less who we play in the final so long as we win it.
