Champions League in February.. is that a thing?

[Jimmy]

Yes?

[Gazz]

What's a Champions League?

[Rafael]

It's kinda like the Intertoto, but worse.

[TCO]

The winners don't get a certificate or anything. Mickey Mouse competition that.

[Thrilla]

Great things happen in the Champions League though

[Colly]

The BBC's football man has written a blog explaining the flimsy reasoning behind not putting Bradford on telly. It's not very good.

[Lineker]

Was just reading that.

Not the best, but sometimes it does feel like the BBC can't win no matter what it does.

Before February though, of course.

They could start by not selecting a game that odds are wouldn't be in the first five games on a MOTD running order. The justification of 'we didn't know if it would be Sunderland or Fulham' is ridiculous when weighed up against a lower midtable all Premiership game.

A start for Herrera!

United XI: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Herrera, Rooney, Fellaini, Di Maria, Falcao.

[MJB]

Very happy to see Herrera start.

Lots of flexibility in that line up. Rooney or Fellaini up top? Could be a back three (Rojo, Smalling, Blind) with Valencia and Shaw as WB's. I hope it's a 4-2-3-1 though.

[Baddar]

I want to see us play with some kind of width and get plenty of balls into Falcao. It's like everyone has been bunched in the centre of the pitch recently and we haven't been able to play through compact defences.

Woy is making the draw for the Quarters very shortly. I'll edit it in to this post.

Liverpool vs. Blackburn

Bradford vs. Reading

Preston/Man Utd vs. Arsenal

Aston Villa vs. West Brom

That's one way of beating Lineker.

I hate that this is drawn before all teams have played.

[DavidMarrio]

ITS OUR YEAR!!!!

[Berober]

Bring on the baggies!

[Lineker]

Great draw.

Tbf, I've done the last few rounds!

Didn't really want Arsenal, especially after their performance yesterday. At least it's a home tie.

Gerrard's last game is going to be beating United in the FA Cup final isn't it
