Champions League Group Stage

How are Leicester in pot 1?

Edit: Also, pots 3 and 4 look a lot less difficult than recent years.

Because they won the league. Rules changed.

Given there are 2 Spanish teams in pot1 and two in our pot you can bet yer bottom dollar we will get one of Barca/Real, you can guarantee we wont get the racist ruskies.

Not sure Bayern, Barca or Real will want to face us with Pep at the helm so I'll go for a cold ball placement so we definitely don't face a top side.

If the draw was random, alot would depend on whether we come out of pot 2 before or after Arsenal and what draw they get.

As long as we avoid the big 3, we should top our group.

The rags will get the easiest team in each pot as usual.

Oh hang on.....

Obsessed ? :-)

I'd love Porto to get something in Rome to make pot 4 that much easier than it could be but I think they could be in trouble.

Ajax & Villareal will do well to get through as well.

 

[Jazzman]

Pots 3 and 4 look weak to me bar Roma. However as we saw last season, it's all about coming top of the group so let's hope we avoid barca.

Well maybe not exactly weak, but I certainly agree that most of the teams there look beatable.

It's nowhere near the standard of previous years. Whatever group we get we should easily get through looking at those teams.
