Well, second or third favourites depending on who you look at. Dortmund and then Sevilla or Spurs.

I've seen bookies have us as third favourites behind Dortmund and Sevilla. Still ridiculous to suggest us, but I don't think Spurs are top three either.

[Whisper]

We've won our last four (i think?) against Liverpool.

By the laws of my Football Manager games, they now owe us a 4-0 hammering.

After Dortmund there are 3 or 4 teams that could realistically win it, Spurs are one of them.

I'd say any of Sevilla, Leverkusen, Bilbao, Liverpool, United, Dortmund or Spurs are in with a shout. i'd just put all four before the English teams, personally.

[Lineker]

Liverpool and Manchester United have never met before in European competition. A quick look at Manchester United’s fixtures shows that they have a Manchester derby three days after the second leg against Liverpool. Liverpool, meanwhile, have an away day at Southampton.

That's assuming that the fixture list you have to hand has (1) been updated already; (2) doesn't list different competitions separately. Otherwise, it's a far more laboured and not at all quick process.

[Lineker]

Well if it's a Saturday game now it'll just get bumped onto the Sunday.

Anyway, like most of my content I just pinched that from elsewhere

LVG has won all his games as United boss against Liverpool. This is going to be... interesting  

[Jimmy]

Fantastic that we've got Dortmund, that's a proper European tie. Got to play the big teams if we want to win it, can't wait.

They've been annoyingly shite for all four game against us  as well and beaten us...

[Moses Julep]

I am psyched for Dortmund. No matter what should be a great adventure.

Also I think after Busby's Babes and Fergie's Fledglings, @MDK should be put in charge of finding a new name for this crop of future world beaters

And Liverpool have the benefit of no longer being in the FA Cup, so they have the weekend off in between the two legs.

Short Term Manager?! How dare you!

 

Sacking managers is not the United Way!

 

Oh wait, out of 24 Manchester United managers, 11 have lasted for less than 2 years.

 

 

 

 

(Of course, Levy has had a dreadful record with sackings, but then that's the Levy way...Well that and playing a blinder during transfer windows).

[Baddar]

Both legs of both ties involving English sides don't clash, meaning I can watch both. Nice! 

[Colly]

Probably means Klopp can too...

This isn't necessarily true. It's entirely possible to win it without being drawn against any big teams. :/

[Colly]

Nah, once a small team beats a big team they are the big team via the Ric Flair Principle. If you make it to a final you'll play a big team. Unless of course your logic is that you aren't 'drawn' in the final as you just play the other remaining team.

Yeah I don't know what I'm on about.

[Baddar]

Originally Liverpool v United was scheduled for 6pm this week, but it's since been changed to two 8.05pm kick offs. I hope this means both of Spurs' legs against Dortmund are at 6.

[DavidMarrio]

For Tottenham fans I hope it doesn't.  

That 6pm kick off against Augsburg at home was a twat for people to get to. There were people arriving to the game late, traffic was bad because you've got people finishing work and people trying to get to the match. It's a ridiculous kick off time for during the week.
