How tremendously dull.

Now we have to endure an even higher dose of self pitying, grieving.

We owe them from last season, lets do the b@stards!

Liverpool and Chelsea will lock horns in Europe for the fifth year running following this morning's Champions League quarter-finals draw.


Quarter-final draw:
Villarreal v Arsenal
Manchester United v Porto
Liverpool v Chelsea
Barcelona v Bayern Munich

First leg to be played on April 7-8,   Second leg April 14-15

Semi-finals draw:
Manchester United or Porto v Villarreal or Arsenal
Barcelona or Bayern Munich v Liverpool or Chelsea

First leg April 28-29,  Second leg May 5-6

Final (Rome) May 27

Last season's Champions League finalists, Chelsea, will face the 2005 champions, Liverpool, over two legs next month.

Defending champions Manchester United will face Portuguese champions Porto, while Arsenal were paired with Spanish side Villarreal.

Current La Liga champions Barcelona will meet Bayern Munich in the other match.

The stage could be set for a repeat of last year's final, meanwhile, with United and Chelsea being kept apart in the semi-final draw.

United or Porto will face Villarreal or Arsenal while if Chelsea overcome Liverpool in their quarter-final tie they face Barcelona or Bayern Munich for a place at this year's showpiece at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Liverpool's match up with Chelsea in the last eight sees the Premier League rivals go head-to-head in Europe yet again. Liverpool reached the final in 2005 at the expense of Chelsea under the stewardship of Jose Mourinho who was left seething by Luis Garcia's 'ghost goal' which decided the tie at Anfield.

Rafa Benitez's side again prevailed two years ago, winning a penalty shoot-out to make sure of a place in the final, which they lost to AC Milan - the team they had beaten on penalties to win the competition two years previously.

The odds on Manchester United retaining their crown have come in to 2/1 following this morning's draw. Sir Alex Ferguson's side have avoided Europe's heavyweights by drawing one of the makeweights on paper in Portugal's Porto. The match will bring back memories of 2004, when then Porto coach Mourinho charged up the Old Trafford touchline in delight after a 90th-minute Costinha goal took the Portuguese side through at the expense of the English team.

Arsenal's match against Villarreal is a repeat of the semi-final of 2006, which Arsenal won 1-0 on aggregate after a narrow home success in the first leg. The tie will also see former Arsena favourite Robert Pires make a return to north London.

Latest betting odds (Ladbrokes): Manchester Utd 2/1, Barcelona 9/4, Chelsea 5/1, Liverpool 7/1, Arsenal 8/1, Bayern Munich 14/1, Villarreal 28/1, Porto 40/1

What the hell have the scum done to be favourites!

five years in a row, thats a bit of a joke in all honesty

[Redbilly1960]

So many doom and gloomers, who gives a feck what manure and anyone else does in this competition I am only interested in LFC.

WE CAN BEAT CHELSEA
WE CAN BEAT EITHER BARCELONA OR BAYERN
AND WE CAN CERTAINLY BEAT ANY OF THE OTHER FOUR

The only luck any of the others got is that they did not draw Liverpool Football Club. Chelsea are the unlucky ones haha

COME ON REDMEN LETS MAKE IT SIX

would you expect anything less from them?

[Ace Ventura]

While we have the ability and capability to beat anyone, nobody can deny that we appear to have been shafted again.
Two years running united get Roma in the quarters and now Porto ?

And they have avoided, Barca, Chelsea and us until the final.

Seems a bit fishy to me.

But whatever, we will have some massively exciting games coming up that i cant wait for.

Ol' red nose just choked on his whisky when he chuckled upon seeing the "Chelsea vs Liverpool" draw.

[we all dream...]

I wouldn't worry about it stick a cheeky tenner on us and you'll be doubly happy come May

[mighty mo]

i was listening to five live this morning and the practice draw around 9ish this morning  had chelsea v liverpool and man united v arsenal....... smells fishy to me.

[Owzat]

Chelsea have essein back and drogba in goal scoring form both players who scored against us in the semi's last year . Big Big players , very tough draw but rafa can do it

yeah... drogbas back on form... not like he was earlier in the season when we played them.. but the big difference for them is Essien. Quality player imo. scores a few, but also makes so much difference to their midfield. The 2 victories we've had over chelsea this year, they've been without Essien and Drogba only played 20 minutes in total over the 2 games.

We should have won the 1st leg but for Riise not having a right foot and maybe he wouldn't have been on but for Aurelio's injury.

I see the mancs have as cushy a ride as you might expect, Porto are nothing special and the manc half of the draw has just two European Cup winners in it of which the mancs have three and Porto two. We face last season's runners-up and then either four times winners Bayern or two times winners Barcelona.

Gotta say that is a crap draw, are any of them awe inspiring? Most will say "oh no, not Liverpool-Chelsea again" while Man Utd may have been done by Jose's Porto but the Portugese have done nothing since. And the last Villareal-Arsenal game was 1-0 on aggregate. I guess the only consolation for us is we don't face an English side in the QFs and SFs, maybe if we go all the way we won't face one in the final.
