Missed calls "make the game what it is" to you? Correct pen call and absurd to say otherwise

It wasnt the correct call and its absurd to say otherwise. Works both ways. Nothing at all clear about it.

I prefer handball be called when someone touches the ball with his hand, but to each his own

Cool, literally ignore any context to the incident. The words 'deliberate' and 'intentional' are generally used in handball claims. The United penalty was neither deliberate or intentional.

Spurs/City v Ajax/Juventus

Liverpool/Porto v United/Barcelona

 

Spurs get City, typical. Worst draw imaginable. Of course Liverpool get Porto, too.

Massive underdogs against Barcelona. I am not willing to write the tournament off yet, but it's going to be a mammoth task. My order of preference was:

1. Porto
2. Ajax
3. Spurs
4. Juventus
5. Barcelona
6. Liverpool
7. Man City

Feel for you, @kempus - City have really had your number of late too.

Yeah, its the one tie I desperately didnt want. We have to play them 3 times within 3 weeks or so. Going to be rough. Only chance we have is to blitz them in the first leg, as Liverpool did last season. Who knows if the new stadium, under the lights, can inspire the team.
