Champions League Draw (Shakhtar, Napoli, Feyenoord)

[Mendy]

Napoli will be tricky but we undoubtedly have a better squad than them.

If we don't finish 1st in this group, we don't really deserve to win the Champions League.

@Magicpole you're going to need more Gin lad.

It was always about battling for 3rd place. I think we can take them. Could be in for a couple of hidings though, but fuck it, we will take them on.

Seconded. Probably the worst place I've stayed in, quite a sinister feel to it even in the daytime.

Thirded
God awful hellhole
Never again!

Order confirmed

would've liked that Napoli away to have been the sixth game where it hopefully didn't mean anything..

 

[delkhouri]

A decent draw for once!

That being said, I will be very disappointed if we do not win the group.

Blues who woman about their ridiculous conspiracy theories deserve to be slated.

They aren't all ridiculous though, blind dismissal is just ignorance not intelligence. I wasn't moaning about it personally but you'd be more of a muppet to deny that it's more than a little weird just how regularly United get easy draws, to the point where you can pretty much count on it(predictions based on data from previous years) when it's supposed to be random chance. It's not conclusive but there's a case to be made clearly something doesn't look right.

We should just be happy with the draw we've got though and concentrate on our own path, then smash um if we meet them hopefully. :)

Soton in November is home mate. I was ready to throw a tantrum if they gave us 3 away league games on the trot

Did he just call Txiki.. Cheeky Beggar...?

A bit dull to get napoli again but happy overall. Three teams we should be beating. Donetsk the easiest in pot 1 and meant we avoided any trickier trips away to russian teams. We dont have to go anywhere too obscure. Feyenoord will be an awesome atmosphere.
