Don't think there really is one, but why should there be?

Everyone's got used to it being an advantage in the old version, but it's just one of those cases of success breeding success, and making it easier for the best teams.

Tbh I don't watch the CL for us to get easy draws against teams I've hardly heard of, it's good to have some big matches included.

And, at least Spuds aren’t in Pot 1, with the advantage that would have given them under the old system.

I'd be happy with that. If you can't get through from that then youve little chance of winning it anyway. Give us some interesting games!

(Though Athletico can get to f*ck, dire matches).

Just to add onto this 12pm Sat is absolute latest (probs will mean that is when it is!).

UEFA have said if they are releasing earlier than that they will put it out to media & socials 30/45 minutes before they come out to give fans heads up.

That will be after they have let the airlines know so they can rip us off when booking

At this point it’s not really unbelievable or a shock anymore to see mard arse, wet behind the ear posts like that.

It’s on every topic almost now. Digs at the players and manager, we aren’t good enough this, what’s the point that.

Must be a really fucking miserable way to follow the fucking club, that.
 
Hopefully a nice easy draw and we make the top 8 comfortably. So hard to know where we measure against the best in Europe at the moment. We had an awful campaign last time and were a lot better against Juve in the CWC than we were in the CL so should be in a better position to make the top 8.

It's going to be a good metric to measure how much we've improved.
 
Can't recall from last season without googling it (too lazy), but I think you don't get paired with a team from the same association. So; no Spurs, thank fuck!

I don’t think it matters who we get as we simply are not good enough to win it.

At one point during the CL final, I suddenly didn't think we were good enough to beat Inter, but thanks to Ederson and Rodri, we did.

Stranger things have happened.

I don't care who we get, we're in it to win it. Get on board mate, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
 


Good thread in that tweet, surprised the top European sides haven't said anything as they will more than likely have harder games on paper.
