Out Of The Hat

Following Arsenal's win on penalties in Rome, myself and Jeremy at work had a natter about the possible outcomes of the Champions League Quarter Final & Semi Final draw this coming Friday.

He reckons the English clubs will be thrown together; I think they'll be kept apart (thus maintaining the potential Blatter/Platini hell of an all-English semi-final) but what do you think?

Go on, bung your predictions in the comments (and I'll pretend like there's a prize* for the person who gets nearest or something).

Format: winners of Q1 & Q2 meet in one semi-final; winners of Q3 & Q4 in the other.
Me:
Q1. Arsenal v Porto
Q2. Chelsea v Barcelona
Q3. Manchester Utd v Bayern Munich
Q4. Liverpool v Villareal
Jeremy:
Q1. Manchester Utd v Liverpool
Q2. Arsenal v Chelsea
Q3. Porto v Villareal
Q4. Bayern Munich v Barcelona
Alex:
Q1. Arsenal v Liverpool
Q2. Manchester Utd v Chelsea
Q3. Bayern Munich v Villareal
Q4. Porto v Barcelona
Rowan, sort of:
Q1. Arsenal v Barcelona
Q2. Manchester Utd v Villareal
Q3. Chelsea v Porto
Q4. Liverpool v Bayern Munich
* oh alright then, I'll stretch to a M&S pork pie (winner to collect)

  2. "...this coming Friday."

    11.00am UK time apparently, although there'll be the usual fanfare and razzmatazz so nothing much happens for the first 20 minutes.

  3. I'm going with Jeremy's theory but switching it up:

    Q1. Arsenal v Liverpool
    Q2. Manchester Utd v Chelsea
    Q3. Bayern Munich v Villareal
    Q4. Porto v Barcelona

  4. I'll go with whatever leads to the traditional Chelsea/Liverpool semi, a soft route through to the final for Man U, and the draw from hell that means Arsenal don't progress.

    You work it out ;)
