      I honestly don't understand why everyone is getting so jittery about Atletico Madrid, a team who lost 2 and drew 1 of their games in a far easier group than ours.
      In La Liga they are currently in 5th place having scored just 18 goals and conceded 10, but I bet they haven't faced many teams like us, in fact when they faced Barcelona at home a few weeks back and lost 1-0.

      They are not an easy opponent and they have a good defence but we have an outstanding attack and are a better team overall, certainly over 2 legs.

      The draw could've been better, could've been worse.
      Going to have to play good sides along the way and we're no slouches ourselves.
      Looking forward to it already, but gonna have to wait :)

      We are outstanding, this season and things are going to get better, when we win the title.

      Well said. You’re absolutely right. We didn’t deserve anything all these years except that we were lucky in everything we did. Strangely people are hoping that our luck runs out. For some unexplained reason, our luck hasn’t ran out.

      Yeah agree totally, we are a really sh*te side that overachieved. That really hurts those who want to see us fail. If you agree that we are sh*te, you’ll have to agree that we outperformed. Either we’re really good or we outperformed. Either way, we write our own luck.

      It’s all hard work.

      Aye lad, and they're certainly not the same force they were when they made the final twice.

      No easy task mind you, but one of the easier games I would say.

      Is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

      It's a good draw for me, a stern test and one over two legs will see us go through, AM although still a very good side hasn't got the bite it had when Greizeman was there,
      Again, they will be worried more about us, no one would have wanted us so they drawn the short straw,

      No doubt Simeone will have them fired up and fully motivated we shouldn't expect anything less from him, His side's like to attack which suits us to a tee, and tactically he's not on the same level as Jürgen,

      Can't see anything other than another win for us in both legs although it will not be easy, not by any stretch.

      For a minute there I thought you were making it look a walk in the park.

      After Real, this was the one I didn't want. With a 40% chance of getting a team from Madrid though, it was likely we would get one of them. It is a very difficult draw against a side we've never beaten. Simeone loves to nick a goal then shut up shop. It almost worked last year when they beat Juventus 2-0 at home. Juve just set Ronaldo on them in the return leg, and he ran amok.

      Last competitive game against them in Europe was the game in the UEFA Cup semi 10 years ago. Anyway some big volcano woke up, and we had to get there by planes trains and automobiles. Lost the away game, then lost the tie on away goals, after extra time. So now is a good time to go and settle a score.

      But it does show again why it's important to finish top of the group. The other team that qualified from our group, got Barcelona away in the second leg. Thankfully it wasn't us.

      .....  of this world the way we are playing.

      At least they haven't got Greaseman anymore but still some useful players and Simeone my second choice of manager if we hadn't got Jürgen.  Thank God we did.

      Imagine being in a world where the team you apparently support make back to back CL finals, winning one of them and knocking out the likes of City, Bayern and Barca and this being the view on our draw against the team currently about 5th in La Liga, lost their best player and not being an overly attacking team.

      What a world we live in, you would think that coming back from 3-0 down vs Barca, last years favourites to win it would have taught people if there is one thing you don’t do is write us off...especially 2months before the first leg even takes place.

      Obviously I’m missing something like.

      I see that a bunch of you are giving a wild ride to this fella benladdie so i will try and stay away from it, i just cant understand why would someone say that after all that we have been through in the last couple of years, and after we have shown to the world that there is nobody who could dominate us...

      This is going to be hell of a tough match but signing us off like that two months before the kick off, come on... :thumbsdown3:
