    Default Champions League 11/12

    Some surprises in the 3rd qualifying round. Rangers losing at home to Malmo seems like a big upset.
    Shame Rubin and Dinamo Kiev had to meet already. I think both teams deserve to play in the group stage.

    Arsenal finds out who they have to face in the beginning of August. If we have to face one of the Russian/Ukrainian sides, it could get ugly.

    Honestly, our August fixture list is just nasty. Newcastle Away for the first game, then a playoff (home or away), then Liverpool at home, another playoff, THEN we go to Old Trafford. Either way there's a good chance we might have to fly to Russia or Ukraine 3 days before a game against a big club.

    Rubin are not that good. Justbecause they got lucky against Barca once, it doesn't follow that they are great. They are not the easiest though.

    I disagree oh and it wasn't once, it was twice. They have a solid, organized defense.
    Big Kahuna Burger? That's that Hawaiian burger joint. I hear they got some tasty burgers. You mind if I try one of yours?

    MMMM Hmmm this is a Taasty burger.

    I'd like Udinese. They've lost Sanchez, Inler & Zapata + we also do well in Italy so that would be a good draw. RvP and Nasri are suspended for the first leg though

    Rubin would certainly be a nightmare to travel to

    I think the best possible draw for Arsenal is Panathinaikos.

    I watched their game against Odense the other day, and their ageing and depleted squad won't be able to withstand Arsenal, even if they get all the luck in the world. They barely drew 1-1 with Odense, a mediocre Danish side.

    I think they will be not this coming week (since this coming week the 2nd leg of the 3rd qualifying round will be played) but the week right after that.

    Nope, my bad. The first legs for the 4th qualifying round will be on the 16th and 17th of August.
