VfB Stuttgart v CHELSEA

Bayern Munich v Real Madrid

Deportivo La Coruna v Juventus
Lokomotiv Moscow v Monaco
I think Chelsea have a very tricky tie with Stuttgart, as their attacking style of play will aid the way Stuttgart like to play. If they take a leaf from Utd's book, and play like we did the other night, they should get through OK.
Utd have a fairly light tie. I remember first time we met Porto a few years back, and the press (which was fervently anti-Utd at the time) billed it up as "The Match Utd Cannot Win", only for us to win the home leg 4-0 and hold them to a goalless draw in Portugal. Portuguese league football isn't too great, and I don't think Porto are as strong a side as they used to be.
Don't know enough about Celta Vigo to comment really.
Real Madrid have the booby tie though, and Munich could well have enough to upset the "galacticos".

Gunners watch out mostovoi and juanfran.....
The Stuttgart-Chelsea game should be a good'un. The Germans remind me a lot of Leeds United under Eddie Gray... It's not about big-money signings and all that crap - you just need players who can play Football together as a team, effective and efficiently.
I think we could be on for a major upset, here... (in the away-tie, anyway) :)
You're right about Porto - they are not as much of a threat as they once were. And because of this, you never know, but we could be on our way to another 4-0 `cruise´; like it was only 4-or-5-years-ago. :)
Bah. And Arsénal have a fairly easy tie (to give them hope of actually getting-somewhere this season, I suppose!). Celta Vigo aren't all that special, and I'm sure an organised Arsénal side will be able to out-play the Spanish (unfortunately).
