champions league quarters
four 'English' teams YES!!
not sure how happy the sponsors will be with the possibility (depending on the draw) of all the semifinalists coming from England
I'm not expecting that will happen, even if the draw could allow it - but it's an interesting idea in my view
(i wonder if UEFA would try to ensure that there is at least one all-Engish quarter - they probably won't need to as it is a more likely outcome than 4 English teams drawing non-English opposition)
Edit:
English teams all get foreign teams: 11%
2 all-English quarters: 9%

We'll get Chelsea no doubt
history suggests so LF1, and history suggests (touch wood) that the right team will progress
looking at when the first quarters are scheduled, arsenal will draw Manu or Liverpool, so we end up playing either team 3 times in under 2 weeks.

cheers for the numbers, I assume you mean "2 all-English quarters"
hopefully none of the english 4 draw eachother...it'll mean more media coverage here that way
Hope they all draw each other... anyone but England (and Real, and Juve).

i expect you'd make an exception for Ipswich
Indeed, pretty much only Ipswich.
Would love to see Manure VS Barca. Liverpool who cares because we are going to win at home!
As long as it's not Barnsley right?
At this rate, Barnsley would be good contenders to win the Champions' League if they were in it! pao19082008-03-12 21:20:08

Arsenal are going to have to beat Liverpool, Chelsea, then Man united in that order to lift the Champions league trophy. No worrys :)
We'll get Barca in the final for revenge.
I'd rather get Man Ure and stuff the scummy bastards.

I guess i will drag myself out of bed and open the backbencher for you scousers on those mornings. The atmosphere in the Bencher was great this morning with a 50/50 split between you lot and gunners fans.
LOCK THE DOORS IMO.

All I can hope now is that a non-English team win (i.e. Barca).
