Weren't we in pot 2 this year & still got drawn against the best teams from the other pots. It will again be fixed to ensure we go out early and global scumbags proceed - TV demands & all that. For those who believe it's not fixed - get real !!!
tedmak said:Being realistic - we are now in pot 2 and there are no real underdogs in pots 3 and 4. We should be expecting to be in the last 16. And as there is a decent chance (only one English team) we get an ok team from pot one, we should be thinking of quarter finals.No excuses now.

I would take anyone but Barca and Bayern, I quite fancy getting PSG or Juve because they're more around our level (yes I know Juve made the final) and also it would tell us a bit more than if we topped our group containing Zenit and other shit teams. Generally looking forward to next seasons champions league now even if it is rigged cause I think we stand a good chance of making the quarters.

Anyone thinking we are going to be in a relatively easy group just doesn't get UEFA

Well that's true! But we'd have to fail to get a point from our last 2 games & Utd would have to win both for us to finish 4th.Ray78 said:Thanks BA. We just have to secure either 2nd or 3rd.

I am not fussed who we get, on our day we a capable of beating any side in europe... I just want us to get a few teams we've not played yet, I'm getting bored of seeing Bayern & Barca every season

Re: Champions League 2015/16 seedings - City in pot 2/3?
We have previously been paired with United so I'd imagine that to be the case again. I think it's because UEFA can make sure we're at home when they're away and vice versa. Don't know if that will get confirmed prior to the event anywhere though.
If that is the case, hopefully Chelsea are put in the same half as Bayern and Barcelona and we'll have avoided them both before they even start drawing Pot 2.

That's the ticket - though we have an equally good chance of getting any of the pot 1 teams UNLESS BT Sport pairs us with Chelsea -> in which case as soon as Chelsea are placed in the RED or BLUE half of the draw then we go in the other half. Instantly dropping our chances of a good draw.

If PSG remain ahead of Lyon in the French Ligue then our chances of getting any pot 1 team is 1/7. If we're paired with Chelsea by BT then that drops to 1/4 (and that's bad if Real AND Barca are in Pot 1).
An English teams chances of getting a good draw diminish as other English teams from the same POT are pulled out.

Re: Champions League 2015/16 seedings - City in pot 2/3?
We were paired with Utd in 2011-12 and Arsenal in 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15
So my bet is on Arsenal again - though that would give Utd more of a chance of a stinker of a draw than us!
