Champs League Draw

[deano ou812]

Well the champions league is pitting you against the supposed best teams in Europe,but really apart from last seasons draw the other three have been groups of death,you would expect us to get a bit of luck in the draws but ffs not when we go into Bayern's group when 4 other groups are free during the draw,its all about uefa giving us a bloody nose they are effectively trying to hamper our progress both in terms of ffp and the champions league...

Its what it is, a decent draw. We have to play what we are drawn against. End of day if we want to win it, we have to be at our best. Beat whoever is in front of us. Looking at rawk, there convinced they have number 6 in the bag lol.

The deluded tw@ts had better hope to God that they don't get us en route !

So Mister do you think UEFA draw City with Bayern CSKA and Roma on purpose ?

some are really starting to sound the Koppites !

Not sure I get that. How the hell are Liverpool ranked 12th and us 18th?

It's calculated by UEFA over a 5 year period using 5 coefficients.

I guess these take into account things that happen in national leagues as well as European matches.

eh? our cofficient is higher than liverpool

Indeed it is. You have to go down to 32nd to find the Dippers. Even if national comps were figured into it, we've finished higher than them in th last 5 seasons. No way under any ranking system are they in front of us. Except 'istree, of course. Somebody has f*cked up in those rankings that were posted.

Fixtures:

Chelsea
13/9 swansea (h)
17/9 schalke (h)
21/9 mcfc (a)

Arsenal
13/9 mcfc (h)
16/9 dortmund (a)
20/9 aston villa (a)

Mcfc
13/9 arsenal (a)
17/9 bayern munich (a)
21/9 chelsea (h)

Who the f*ck draw this fixtures???

So basically Arsenal have as difficult a game as us 3 days not 4 later than playing us. I therefore can't see any advantage to them at all in the game on 13/9 other than them playing at home. Can anyone else?

Chelsea missed out last year, does anyone really think they are going to play a weakened side in their first game in the CL to prepare for us? Are they fuck. They also play on the same night so no advantage there at all. The only advantage they have is that they play at home and we don't. The disadvantage to them is that they play us away!

We dine at the top table now and as such we have to play and beat the best teams on a regular basis.

The last five 7/8 games of last season and first two games this season have said to me that we are the business at the moment. We have a top quality manager who knows what he is doing and have a support structure that seems to have stabilised us. We have players who are all at or close to their peak ages. They have signed new contracts, they want to win the big trophies.

There is too much talk of agenda nowadays. We have won 2 premier league titles, an Fa cup and a League cup in the last 4 years and got to an Fa cup final. If there really is an agenda then the people setting it are clearly failing miserably.

We are not entitled to win all competitions. We are not favourites for this competition and if we don't win it then we don't win it!

I was contemplating giving the group stages a miss but these games are ok by me. I will be there again in amongst the tourists etc...

Personally I don't care who the dippers, Chelsea and Arsenal have got and I don't agree that the dippers and arsenal have easy groups. They have tricky groups. Maybe not as tough as ours but not a walk in the park.

It's all good.
