Well it's days like today that show the average IQ of City fans, it's pretty low!

Agreed, but try the match day threads and post-match threads. Some are so stupid they don't understand the post-match thread is for discussing the game just played rather than going on about what Pep has achieved, or saying it's better than having Pearce in charge.

Has anyone asked why Leipzig are in pot 1 yet?

 

[hello]

Villa and Celtic have easier games. Weird format this. PSG have tough ones.

They aren't easy for Celtic though.

So am I right in thinking this new format almost guarantees all the big teams are through to the last 16 eventually? Unless they massively fuck up? One of the big guns could quite conceivable go out in the old group stage, but now it's almost impossible for them to miss out?

No more than before, the top 8 go through,a bad result probably puts you out into a round of 16 knockout when depending on the draw they could get knocked out. In the old system the top 2 went through to the last 16 and teams could do that with a bad result sometimes 2, some teams scraped through with 8 or 9 points.
Think this will be much less forgiving of bad results.
