In a strange way this is probably an excellent first draw for us Mark.
I can see Lloris getting the whole team up for this, rather than an 'easy' lesser known team that we mightn't take seriously enough.

Looking forward to this draw.

Good home game to go to, I'm happy. Better atmosphere for the lads to get up for rather than a team nobodys heard of. I try get tickets for this one.

The first legs of the last 32 will be played on Thursday, 14 February, with the return fixtures the following week on 21 February.

That's the best approach to the games Vis ....

I'd bet that Lyon will be thinking, shame they didn't get an easier game and they have to get past Lloris.

And Inter Milan if we meet them be reliving their WHL nightmare and how they've got Bale to deal with again .

Hopefully we perform well and if its not good enough to win, then fair enough as these are quality opponents.
