So there we have it. It's us against old foes Villareal, and if we get past them, it's probably Man U from their tie with Porto. On the other side, it's (haha!) Pool - Chelski in the all-England tie, and Barca-Bayern which must be the top tie for the neutrals.
I must say I'm chuffed at drawing Villareal. Honestly, all I wanted was to avoid an English team, and then NOT to draw Barca and Bayern was super extra bonus. What more could we ask to get through? And of the English teams, I really would rather Man U than Pool or Chelski in the semis. Let's not even talk about the finals, but we know what lies ahead.
Sure, we'll get to see Bobby Pires back, so that should be nice. Of course, that's contingent on him not getting injured in the meantime. Not to forget, there's also one Pascal Cygan, so ifhe plays, that'd be extra funny. Villareal will be baying for revenge, yes, but of their team of 06, methinks the best of 'em have moved on. They've had a mixed record coming into the quarters - holding Man U home and away in the group stages - but also losing to the likes of Celtic. So let's see. CAN'T WAIT! In the meantime, let's enjoy this little penalty miss of yore. Don't you just love the look on Riquelme's face BEFORE he takes that penalty?
