Champions League - 2022/23

[yeah whatever !!]

What pot are the rags in

Why the tin one of course ;)

It’s brutal alright. As soon as Napoli came out, add to that Rangers.

Love it.

Pwopa Nawty.

Even Ajax fans are bastards.

Can’t see that, it’s the 12:30 TV game isn’t it?

Hopefully they’ve taken Yaya away for some cake now.

Can someone explain why Dortmund could only go into our group?

"In addition, UEFA pairs together certain clubs from the same nation to ensure they don't play at the same time. As such, when any of the below teams are drawn into groups A-D, their paired team will automatically be assigned to groups E-H:

Real Madrid and Barcelona
Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig
Manchester City and Liverpool
AC Milan and Napoli
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund
Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille
FC Porto and Benfica
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur
Juventus and Inter Milan
Atletico Madrid and Sevilla"

So, they can't go in A-D as Bayern were in group C. Then can't go in F due to Leipzig being German. That's the easy bit.

I assume that the computer then works out that if they go in E or H, the draw will fail at some point as it would cause further clashes either between other teams in the draw, so we're all that's left.

2 out of 3, I’ll take that!

Great city but pissed down all day the day before the match if I remember correctly

Seville? Stadium looks fantastic. I've got 2.5 days holiday left if I cancel the day I've got booked off for my wife's birthday (she'll understand) so it's going on that game should I be able to get a ticket.

Smooth passage, teams of standing rather than ability to hurt us significantly.

Loving Liverpool's group. Brutal intensity all those visits.

There'll be calls for an independent judicial inquiry into that draw, guaranteed.

I wondered why Marseille couldn't be assigned to our group. That must be why.

Agreed, brutal away days accompanying a few spliffs in Amsterdam.
