You’ve missed the rags of that....oh.

They will get our place when we are banned... David Gill has fixed it for them.

That bell end Gill was at the end of the the Royal box at the cup final day with Gareth Southgate, as the goals went in the cameras kept focusing on Southgate and Gill was in shot and his face was a picture you could see the hate in it, even better he had to applaud us whe we went up to get the cup honest it was priceless, by the way I was at Wembley but watched this on the beeb replay of the whole game.

My thoughts exactly, no wonder English teams are now trying harder in that competition.

 

[ninjamonkey]

I’d Put money on us having recently played 2/3 of the teams we get in our group. It’s so heavily weighted now that the draw is almost pointless. It’s boring and stale. Doesn’t matter who we get anyway, we’d be expecting to comfortably progress from even the toughest possible draw.

Real, Kiev, Galatasary

Well Chelsea and Arsenal made it to the final. Burnley did their best.

Yep ridiculous. Can’t play someone from your own country, have to be ‘paired’ with one, add in Tuesday/Wednesday nights, and put in one half of the tables 1-4 or 5-8. Makes any kind of ‘balanced’ draw impossible.

 

[mikemcfc]

may as well start booking my trips to the Bernabeu, inter and Galatasaray now.

shaktar, kiev, and moscow,
or for those who don't like to travel, liverpool, leverkusen, celtic.

Pot 2 is shaping up to be extremely strong this time - Both Madrids, Dortmund, Napoli, Shakhtar, Spurs and probably Ajax and Porto.

Can not draw spurs and would wish to avoid Spanish, German and Italian teams and Shakhtar a ballache to get to.

So Porto or Ajax would be best for us as Ajax will not be as strong as last season.
