Be good to get Real from pot 2 to show Bellingham what a wank choice he made.

Not arsed about 3 but from 4, Sociedad so Dave gets the appreciation he deserves and what he missed out on when he left.

Barca in the knockouts though with Ilkay. Shitting it from 70 minutes on.

A tough group with Madrid is ideal, would be great to beat them twice and then lose to Young Boys in last match to see Madrid drop into Europa ;)

I hope we get Madrid so I can sell my ticket for a ridiculous amount to a tourist.

I was just reading (on the caf of all places) about how the country coefficients from 23/24 will determine if the premier league gets 4 or 5 champions league places for 24/25.

Imagine the rags or dippers finishing 5th and needing city to win the final for them to qualify for the next seasons champions league.

Just somewhere hot in the GS for a nice city break.

Looking at the poll, I can’t think of a single one that scares me this season.

Maybe it’s being holders, that’s definitely a big part of it.

But I feel like we are by some way the strongest opposition right now, we shouldn’t be overly worried going into any ucl fixture, and the teams that traditionally would be to be avoided are all a bit lacking right now, or in a mess, or both.
