Yeah the draw will be March 14, Jon (next Friday)!

And what kirby said. Plus I think it would be an issue with traveling fans from both Liverpool and Arsenal in Milan in the middle of the same week.

the reason inter isnt playing their game this week is because there exist a rule that states that you cannot play another game on the same pitch within 3 days of each other. this is so that the field itself doesnt get fucked up and exhausted.

This is a dumb question, but will the drawing for the next round be the weekend after Inter plays Liverpool?

Haha no, (and I’ll certainly join you in hoping Roma in avoid them) but you did say no is the time to face them. Which is one way of looking at it I guess, I just figure that it won’t make *that* much difference!

I just felt like throwing a meaningless shot at the Prem, what’s wrong with that?

(Don’t believe I said “want to” face Barca, did I?)

You’re right about any team wanting to face Barca now Chris. I mean look, they’ll have to play The Dhino out in Messi’s position, and play Eto’o and Henry up front. Sucks to be them.

“And of course, the Liverpool – Inter second leg will take place next Wednesday because the Premiership is WAY more important than the Champions League. (Absurd.)”

Two matches at the San Siro in two days would sound more absurd to me.;-)

You have the Barca-Celtic and Chelsea-Olympiakos games on the wrong days. And Liverpool plays Inter next week due to a stadium conflict (can’t have two huge games at the San Siro one day after the other!).
