Hmm, apart from Spurs i think the English clubs have quite favourable draws. I'm sure the clubs and the fans of all three clubs will be quite happy with that.

Just to put the record straight so there's no hard feelings ...

Spoiler for >:

The vast majority of Rangers fans were decent people just out for a good day.

I still think banning both sets of fans for the away legs is a must do.
I can guarantee they'll be those in this city rubbing their hands together in anticipation of another Rangers visit.

These are the type that would be welcomed back.

I'm trying to be optimistic.
A Milan without Mourinho could prove vulnerable and...well, a Dutch team.
I expect Spurs to make a good fist of it and with a bit of luck, hopefully, scrape a second place standing.

Tears at bedtime for Lee tonight.
Villa dumped out for the second season running by Rapid Vienna.
