Champions League 15/16 seeding - City CONFIRMED Pot 2 - Pg20

[mat]

The fixtures are worked out after the draw, but they make sure the likes of Real and Barca are in different halves of the draw so they play on different nights (in theory maximising the tv viewers). England will probably have 4 teams so they will make sure 2 are playing one night and 2 playing the other.

They won't want city/rags playing the same night either.

It's happened in other years, they may decide they want Chelsea and the rags on separate nights if they think those two are the biggest audience pullers.

Exactly, we all know what City are capable of in the Champions league. It's about time we shook this chip off our shoulder and took the competition by the horns - I'm still shocked at how star-struck we look when we come up against the likes of Barca and Bayern. We're not beneath them anymore!

We should have beaten Napoli in our first game. When we didn't it rather went wrong from there.

For the BT Sport narrative I bet its chavs/Rags sold as contenders and us/Arse for the slagging off, "Will they...wont they?" angle.

Oh, and Celtic will be drawn with the rags as it massages both thheirs and UEFA's ego.

Celtic may not make it past tomorrow night, temp in Baku forecast to be 35C at KO.

Yes, I do.

Another way of looking at it is to look at recent finalists.

Juventus, Athletico, Dortmund, Chelsea.

Do you think our current squad is on a level with theirs? Because I do and they all did very well in the Champions league, if we got to a final, anything can happen!

You said not beneath Barca and Bayern anymore, that is what i was replying to.

Look at it this way, there are probably 3/4 players in our squad who would start for BM, RM or Barca, that is the fifference.

Silva, Yaya, Aguero and maybe 1 more at a push. Sterling/Hart.
