Champions League Group Stage

[TCIB]

I bet Brenda is grinding his porcelain nashers at that draw. Basically as bad as Celtic could have hoped for.

City need to Police the Celtic game, they will be everywhere, can see it kicking off in every stand.

Yep.

I'm okay with the group stage, it's getting drawn against Bayern (away first) in the knockout stages that's pissing me off.

And it will happen as both UEFA and the broadcasters will demand it.

The Guardian's draw page, "The two London clubs can be happy with that, as can Leicester. Man City have no right to be intimidated by anyone given the huge resources in their armoury. And as for Celtic, well, you could almost say they’re the Lincoln Red Imps of this group."

 

[SWP's back]

It's tougher than any of the other English teams

Pro rata it isn't.

We are better than the other English teams.

Fixed? How do you explain our knockout draws last year then?

 

[01cravend]

Which groups are harder and why? Actually don't bother it will be nonsense.

Umm Bayern, Atletico and PSV in the same group.


How highly do you rate BM and Celtic?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Group of death my arse, we should comfortably go through.

More "group of default" actually.
