Liverpool drawn against Barcelona in Champions League round of 16.
I'm sorry, all I want to say are various combinations of profanity. (Also, BBC? Thanks for pointing out that it'll be "tricky." We didn't know that.) Dammit! Looks like the Carling Cup is it this season. Maybe.
The only bright spot here is that Man U got Lille. Who, if y'all remember, prevented Man U from advancing out of the group stages last season. I don't hold out a lot of hope for Cinderella stories, but it'd be nice. (Also, Man U fans? I don't want to hear any more complaining about easy draws. Ever.)
In other draw news, Arsenal got PSV, Chelsea got Porto, and Celtic got AC Milan (speaking of easy draws, MILAN). Then in the games I don't care about, you have Roma-Lyon and Inter-Valencia. The final tie is Real Madrid-Bayern Munich, which could potentially be interesting, especially if Oliver Kahn goes crazy and starts gnawing on Ronaldo's arm or something. Or he and Iker Casillas could have the Battle of the Shouty Keepers. I would probably pay money to see that.

The BBC are masters of understatement, huh? That said, I certainly didn't want us to draw Liverpool. You guys are excellent in Europe, and play in just the type of style that gives Barca the most problems.
(All the other English teams got easy draws. Pfft. Also, if Milan don't advance, their Evil Overlord President should be banned from proclaiming Milan the best in the world for at least 3 years.)
