I also won the Charity Shield; NEVER FORGET!
Just a little while ago Arsenal drew Porto in the first round of the knockout stages of the Champions League and if there was ever a time to fire up the conspiracy theories it’s today.
Stuttgart were the team that pretty much everyone wanted since they are the weakest side and they seem to be reeling from Jens Lehmann taking the piss. Naturally, holders Barcelona drew them.
Inter Milan barely got through their group stage, coached ably by Megalomaniac former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho. Naturally, Chelsea drew them.
AC Milan’s star player is former ManU player David Beckham, who is teaching Americans about “soccer” by flying off to Italy every winter. Naturally Manchest Untied drew them.
And as we all know, UEFA hates Arsenal and Porto were probably the toughest team of the runners up with players like “Hulk” at their disposal who will probably tower over our Lilliputs and “smash” them to little pieces. So naturally, Arsenal drew them.
The full draw:
- Stuttgart v. Barcelona
- Olympiakos v. Bordeaux
- Inter Milan v. Chelsea
- Bayern Munich v. Fiorentina
- CSKA Moscow v. Sevilla
- Lyon v. Real Madrid
- Porto v. Arsenal
- AC Milan v. Manchester United

A little paraniod, dont you think lol…
I’ll take Porto. I was afraid of Bayern.
I feel we had one of the eaisest draws. Mourinho is gonna want to teach abromovich a lesson and will be up for it.
AC Milan aint the force they were but still have great players like seedorf,pirlo, and pato who are good at what they do.
Anyway i would prefer porto than sevilla, CSKA, Bayern, Bordeaux,Lyon or Madrid.
I truly feel that arsenal have to buy another CF. Luck is not in our favour. If bendtner was not injured he could of determined whether we definetly needed a new striker or not. i feel that arsene wenger will not buy another striker in january believing so blindly that bendtner will score the goals needed.
TYPICAL!!!!!!!!

@Gooner All Day Long, Dude if given the CF role Bendtner will score goals and lots of them, if u can remember he scored 15 goals last Season and that to coming from the bench in most of the games, And still many believe he was not good enough, 15 goals for a third choice striker last year was good nuff for me.
I will take Porto fixture with a smile, better than CSKA or Lyon.
Well all that we can ask, disregarding every other draw, is for our boys to go out there and do a proper job of it.
You forgot to mention Benzema’s return to Lyon as a Madridista

@Jet Pinoy Gooner, Or to be boringly pedantic, maybe a monárquica madrileña A good draw for the conspiracy theorist anyway.
Viva!
The only draws without any ‘juice’ are Bordeaux-Olympiakos, CSKA-Sevilla and Bayern Munich-Fiorentina. That’s where the real conspiracy is that 5/8 draws have story lines to ‘goose’ up the supporters.
