We won't get them.  Too high a ranking.

Hope we get an utterly sh*te team. Save a few players legs.

Ok then....F**k it who cares. We'll win anyway.

To be honest there are a lot of tricky sides the other side of the draw, the likes of Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray, Zagrebs, Pragues, Belgrades etc.

Interesting Wisla Krakow are another side we can face, and we've got them Saturday.

thanks a lot

you is write subject very good

you can write in that IFK Göteborg VS Basel, do not think that SSM will aginast IFK on there home arena and they need 6 goals. but if SSM wins whit 6 goals then i will dance YMCA haha

Could end playing against Kewell (well his team because he will be injured)

And we dont???

it could be a cracking game and it would be great to hopefully see Luis Garcia back at Anfield. In football its not very often that a match is a walk in the park, especially in europe. Rafa will prepare the team right and i think we would beat them

i think that we have better team than atletico, of course...but I want a team more easy

Guys have you never thinkt that we should pisse on CL and concentrate on the PL?

We should never do that Evilone 

The Champions League is too prestigious and brings in a lot of revenue.

But in saying that.........We do need to concentrate on the League this season, mind you a nice little run in the CL wouldn't go amiss 

There's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be competing for both.

Good point  Ms Gerrard, but first we need the cash to buy the players that Rafa needs to challenge for as many trophies as we would all love to win. Pl ,cl, fa,cc etc.

yeaah but come on the reds have not won PL for 20? years know? I must say Liverpool is not so good when it comes to gather points, but they always get far in Cup games, how abut using more reserv players in the cups and mabey the CL?
