Champions League Draw & TV Pairings

All three trips booked and decent prices. Stanstead - Turin £52 return and Manchester - Malaga £105 return both with Ryanair. Gonna take the company car and drive to Gladbach
 
Well City got what they wanted. New cities to explore in Europe. Turin, Seville and Monchengladbach. However, Juventus will be beatable I think. Juventus have lost their players like Vidal, Tevez, Pirlo and they are about to lose Pogba. They will finish similarly how they did 2 years back, when they were 3rd. Sevilla, on the other hand, are a tough opponent and I expect them to top the group with City second. City ended with the hardest Pot 3 team. Monchengladbach should be easy 6 points in the bag.

Man Utd got a decent group. PSV the only weak link. I expect Utd to top the group with CSKA in second. Actually, this group is a repeat of the group of 2009-10 group stage but instead of PSV, it was Besiktas. Utd and CSKA were the teams that progressed. CSKA also nearly won at OT, 3-1 but ended up with 3-3. Wolfsburg will be easy, they're overrated IMO, a team lost 6-1 on agg to Everton lol. Plus, without KDB, they'd be worse. But it would be scenes if CSKA get City in the knockouts.

Group of Death IMO is the Madrid, PSG and Shakhtar. But still, PSG and Madrid will progress. Shakhtar sold their best player.

I managed to listen to talkshite in the car for ten minutes inbetween The Biscuit Billionaire and Paddington. They seemed to think we had the group of death again and said the rags had an easy group. Collymoron was adamant that Sevilla were favourites and we would be fighting Juve for 2nd.
 
Wonder why Juventus weren't at home first, they were top seed?

Not complaining, us being at home first is a massive opportunity to get 3 points on the board and take control of the group.

Funny thing is we have the harder group but should top it if we play well whereas the rags have an easier group but I think they are going to struggle, CSKA Moscow being shock winners in that group.
 
Honestly, I think we're going to win the group and win it handily this year. More then that I think we have a real chance to progress deep into the champions league this year. I have a really good feeling about it. Our team is so strong right now and soon to be stronger with KDB arriving. Our defense is improving and we're playing a formation that favors us finally. I have a really good feeling about this.
