Champions League Draw & TV Pairings

[lazza]

Easiest group we've had in the Champions League so far, which is good, but a team from each of the top 3 leagues in Europe is still not being kind to us. A Belgian/Swedish no-hoper would've been nice.

 

[Akai]

we have no excuses not to top our group, we'll do it this time !

 

[Blue Mooner]

We've avoided the absolute major disaster teams, for the first time ever.

What last years finalists and you think that's good !!?

Stan wifebeater saying a shoot out for third between us and Juve

 

[Hoghead]

so we got CL finalists, Europa league winners and Bundesliga team. Could be worse but much better too

But not this year's! Just because you reached a final last year doesn't mean you are as good this year or stronger. Certainly Juventus aren't (I hope so anyway).

 

[Neville Kneville]

I agree.

You are kidding ?

PSV are hopeless.

 

[The blue phantom]

A good chance of winning this group.

Meant 2nd of course

 

[The Silver Surfer]

Why are people fucking moaning?

Better group than previous years, and we have the best squad in our history who are capable of taking any team in our group apart!

Is time to become the team Europe fear.

 

[dario2739]

Fuck me - did they let the Rags and Chelsea rummage through the bags and chose their own balls?

No -- Plzen and CSKA were far easier. That was near a guarantee to the knock-outs. This year is not.

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Very happy with that. Juve have lost Vidal, Pirlo & Tevez, BM got walloped 4-0 v Dortmund a couple of weeks ago and Sevilla have not replaced Bacca.

We should top that group

 

[warspite]

This is a perfect team for a trip. Very accessible from Amsterdam and Brussels.

What are their fans like? Mullets, faded denim coats big fat and sweaty?

 

[willipp]

Im happy with that, finally avoided the disaster group we've had every year. Juve won't be the side they were last year by a long shot.

As for Monchengladbach im delighted. I was born there and haven't been back since i was about 6 months old. What a perfect reason to go and see where i was born and experience my first city away trip in Europe.

 

[The blue phantom]

I agree.

That must be strong stuff your smoking.

 

[pikku]

Juventus and Sevilla are good teams, we need to let go of that inferiority complex while in Europe and play to our.full potential. Also strategies and tactics form an important role I guess especially with Italian teams involved.

 

[Blue Mooner]

You are kidding ?

PSV are hopeless.

And they've just lost their best player to the rags.

 

[Neville Kneville]

What last years finalists and you think that's good !!?

Yep.

Thought things ran for them last season & they are much much weaker without Tevez & Vidal, imo their two best players.

 

[blink922]

No -- Plzen and CSKA were far easier. That was near a guarantee to the knock-outs. This year is not.

Honestly if we can't get through this group with the players we have we should pack it in.

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

We'll be favourite to win this group and with good reason.

A no-hoper would have been nice but at the same time we are the favorites in this group and will get some games to toughen us up for the group stages, more so than if we were to face a Maccabi, Zagreb, etc. We've got a great shot to at least make the quarters if we can win our group. Let's do it.
