Oh, I completely agree mate, it’s a game I instantly write off as a no pointer. However. I’d love to be proved wrong one day.

So would I! It’s been too long!

That theory about UEFA wanting us to win, what if we play shit one game and fuck it up???

Pep always seems to have a bad game in him these days in Europe. I think last four is the best we will do.

Village of 3600.

Could be the new "York away".

How the fuck can it be “total nonsense”?

Maybe you might not agree, but it’s hardly nonsense. PSG could easily do them and I’ll bet you they go full strength in Naples.

Totally agree. Who doesn’t go full strength in their second CL match? Especially when it’s against Napoli away. The dippers know their only chance of a result is to go full strength. Also think PSG will beat them at Anfield

Nah, it’s all computer generated. When there are 4 clubs from one country, like England, then 2 clubs go in each half of the draw and then they play opposite home and aways.

So if they gave France and Italy 4 teams the system would break down. It works because of the 32 teams only us and Spain get 4. Is that correct ?

Pep should rest the main hitters for the hoffenheim away tie. Take the risk and take a fresh team to Anfield ready to kick their arses. They will be knackered after their tie in Naples.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Away at Napoli a few days before we visit Anfield, if they get beat at home by PSG in the first game they will need points from Naples so that could be massively advantageous for us.

You make a great point there Rammy Blue.

No idea. I just know that there was a great example today when 1 team (can’t remember who) came out of pot 2 and there was only 1 group they could go in as the computer told them that was the case.

Edit....I agree it’s a complete load of bollocks. Should be an open draw with anyone capable of getting anyone from the other pots.
