United straight into pot 2 ha haaaaaa ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......corrupt as fuck thanks the Gills underhand tactics to keep them relevant
Complicit in what? Utd have been winning games in European competition and the club coefficients are there for all to see online any time you wantThe football media should be hammering this but they're complicit.
Now the darlings of the media Dippers and the Scum have joined via the back door who is going to get the group of death.
Oh wait a minute it's us
Let's wait and see but I'd put a tidy wedge on the chosen ones toddling off to the lowest ranks teams.
5 English teams could make for a very interesting draw,see you in Barca Madrid or Munich!
I'd rather be 9 points better off in the league than being the best of Anderlecht, Celta Vigo, Ajax etc. They were 6th and 9 points worse of in the league which means that they are still a significant way behind us let alone the Champions. The significant aspect is that they are going to spend another £200m in the Summer which can't be good for us. Everyone thinks that City just need another transfer window for Guardiola to assemble a winning team forgetting that we are one of at least 6 Premiership clubs who will be spending vey heavily this Summer. This just makes it even more difficult to get the players we wantI don't understand the point of this thread. Firstly, we can't draw Barca, they will be in pot two with us. To the person who said we'll be battling in Milan, that would be a good draw as both Milan teams are too poor to qualify for the competition. We have 3 teams out of possible 7 (Madrid, Juve, Munich) who would be a tough draw from pot1, the other teams (Benfica, Spartak Moscow, Shaktar, Monaco) should all be beatable.
The dippers haven't even qualified yet. The scum haven't joined through the back door. They won a trophy to gain entry, whether we like it or not that's a better achievement than finishing third and expecting an easy group.
It's very simple. If we win the league we'll be in pot 1. Until we start beating Barca/Madrid/Juve/Munich on a regular basis we aren't going to win the thing anyway.
That's exactly my thought. I just assumed Liverpool and Spurs would be in Pot 2. Killer being in pot 3. Apparently Spurs are borderline and could end up n Pot 2 depending on who qualifiesThe changes mean pot 2 isn't a bad place to be. Avoid Barca, Athletico etc. Horrific to be in pot 3 or 4.
If the CL winners don't qualify by league position then they go straight into the Group stage as holders - e.g. if Leicester had won it - otherwise the EL winners go into the group stage, as Sevilla did in the season just finished because CL holders Real Madrid had already qualified via La Liga.I had a look last week, its as clear as mud. I suppose it depends who wins the EL.
