I know it's been said before, but these lot really have become bitterly obsessed with us over the last few years.

Poppycock!

We don’t matter.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Arsenal, Barcelona, PSG, Inter, BVB, Bayern, Man City, Real. My picks to go through.

No no no. Sheikhy paid off UEFA, to make sure we got an easy draw. Obvious, innit?

LMAO...

I'm assuming he forgot the brown envelopes for the quarters and semis last season.

Didn’t think it was possible to get a more expensive trip than Istanbul. Then I thought it absolutely 100% would be impossible to get a more expensive trip than Bern.
Wrong both times!

I’m more worried about the Scottish Blues to be honest :)

You will be safe .. apart from your wallet

Completely forgot about the draw tbh though at 3pm I expected to catch the start of the actual draw as it started at 11am :)-
See it’s fixed again for us ( forgetting Real, Munich etc last season) and the little thing of actually winning our group to make the draw a little kinder.
Though funny if Rags say we have an easy draw v a team who knocked them out and beat them at home and only lost away due to a missed injury time penalty

I’ll bet the flights go through the roof for this one, looking at a two day stay for this one ,

Very civilised lot the Danes.

If you don’t include the raping and pillaging

got to take your overround where you can ;)

 

[James2401125]

He has probably booked 12th out 22nd back … that’ll cover all options and flight will be cheaper now. Only down side is the 10 nights accommodation [emoji23]

Look at this fuckwit on the BBC Football page. Doesn’t realise his shitty rags failed to knock out Copenhagen, so by his definition they must be below average:

“Trust City to get the easiest draw. Even the most average of sides could eliminate Copenhagen.”
Chris, Manchester

The daft rag twat.

Quiz question - In 1978 who played Bye in the first round of the European Cup?

Followed by Dynamo Dresden, Benfica, Borussia Monchengladbach and then Club Brugge in England in the final.

Papa John Trophies have been harder to win.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

City, Real, and Bayern are almost bankers to go through.
Arsenal are heavy favourites against Porto, but not a forgone conclusion.

Barca/Napoli and Dortmund/PSV might be tighter than we think.

PSG are a law unto themselves. They’ll either breeze past Sociedad or lose 7-6 on aggregate.

Inter/Atletico is the hardest for me to call.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Just seen on OS apologies @James2401125

Look at Villa's winning run in 1982 as well. It's a completely different competition today. People talk about Sky discarding anything pre-1992, but at least the league format has largely stayed the same. European Cups won prior to the CL are a different tournament altogether, but you'd imagine certain history clubs would have kicked up a huge stink if previous European Cups were considered to have been won in a now-defunct competition.
