No one scares me in 3&4 but CSKA are preferable to Madrid by a long chalk.

Yes I suppose the fact it's now champions only in pot 1 does change things so there's more of an even mix across the pots.

Benfica, Brugge and FC Copenhagen, I don't want those odious c**ts from the east end of Glasgow and their shiny toothed snake oil salesman, hearing those songs and having to disinfect the stadium afterwards would be no fun but I have a sneaky feeling we will get them.

This. I'd be tempted to say either CSKA, Rostov, or Ludogorets too, but don't fancy any trips to Russia or Eastern Europe, even though I think they'd be a less tough draw in footballing terms. I get what you're saying about the green shite, but I'd quite like to absolutely wipe the floor with them too.

CSKA have some diving pricks in their team, think leicester's ahmed musa was one of their chief agitators. They got Yaya sent off as well. Would love City to batter them to death, home and away.

I have every confidence with this fella in charge that we will be qualifying with ease and have a good chance of topping the group.

The capital one cup this year should be used to play younger players and squad players only. We need to be fresh in Janaury and February.

Fully agree with this I firmly believe that the way this competition is structured has a detrimental effect on both league and European performances. This will be particularly true this year as we are faced with an extremely demanding schedule in Dec and Jan.
