Champions league draw 29th August 2019 - Group C (Shakhtar, Zagreb, Atalanta)

Are they not rebuilding their stadium

Yes. They are redeveloping each end. This was taken in the last couple of days.

This end will be finished by the time we play them, but they're going to redevelop the other end next summer. They'll be able to play at their own ground in Europe after that and the capacity will be circa 26k.

As they're in the Europa 99% it'll be a Sunday.

Forgot all about them in that competition.

Are they not rebuilding their stadium

Yeah, they are...but why can't they just put a couple of big Gene Kelly's up???

Any Londoners, you could fly into genoa on Tuesday and back Thursday for £26 return. Only £8 for the train genoa to Milan.

Piss take if they make us play at 8 on the Saturday before a Tuesday night game.

Both palace and Everton games confirmed Saturdays at 5-30.

Going on the UEFA co-efficients our group is the 6th hardest.

• Group D - 340.50 pts
• Group A - 311.00 pts
• Group F - 275.50 pts
• Group B - 266.75 pts
• Group E - 248.00 pts
• Group C - 230.45 pts
• Group G - 223.50 pts
• Group H - 204.70 pts

So of the English teams Chelsea on paper have the easiest group. I know it is not that accurate because some of the teams with low points are actually far better than those who appear in the CL every year, for instance Valencia have 37.5 pts whilst Brugge have 39.5 pts.

 

[aka blue jambo]

Got Milan for £73 return from Edinburgh.
Early flight though.6.45 on the Wednesday.

Going on the Tuesday so I can get a good nights kip and recover

You've got to laugh at the outrage at our easy group. Especially when it's coming from United and Liverpool fans. This is our second year of easy groups, before that we always had at least one big hitter.

United fans complaining about our easy CL group.

Short memories.

F*** off!

Same with the Scousers.

Can anyone remember their easy group last season?

They would have been knocked if it wasn’t for a point blank save in the last couple of minutes by Alison in the last group game at Anfield against Napoli.

can we put a stop to this easy group tag ??? its manchester city and playing anybody in europe under uefa rules is like playing a rugby union team with 15 players vs man city 11 ?? you are watching a completely different game and now add VAR and there rules then good luck just getting out of the groups ???
