If anyones off to Seville let me know if you get any good deals on flights. London airports for £70 best i've seen.

The thing to remember is that whilst the teams Man U have drawn might not be as good as the teams we've drawn, Man U are shite and we're not.

@City_Watch:
Juventus A falls between Liverpool H & Soton H

That's going to be a tough few weeks, hope we can come through it smiling.

I remember how much confidence beating Bayern gave us two years ago as we went on to win the title. That is exactly why playing good calibre teams in the CL is a boost. Plus, were probably favourites to top the group anyway, just!

A no-hoper would have been nice but at the same time we are the favorites in this group and will get some games to toughen us up for the group stages, more so than if we were to face a Maccabi, Zagreb, etc. We've got a great shot to at least make the quarters if we can win our group. Let's do it.

Sevilla are a tough draw, and these are the teams that they had to get past in last year's Europa League. I've also put where each team finished in their respective domestic leagues last season:

Feyenoord - 4th - Holland
Rijeka - 2nd - Croatia
Standard Liege - 4th - Belgium (Gent and Club Brugge finished above them)
Monchengladbach - 3rd - Germany
Villareal - 6th - Spain
Zenit - 1st (CSKA 2nd) - Russia
Fiorentina - 4th - Italy
FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk - 3rd - Ukraine

It's obvious they are no mugs, but I think we'll have too much for them this year.
