Champs League Draw

[MCFC1993]

Once again big Martin hits the nail right on the motherfucking head -

Amen, nail on the head, what we're all saying, he's just took the seedings route. Just doing a quick browse of the coefficients (we're 16th) shows this:

10+ years (All with no European success):
8th Valencia - Last league win: 2004
9th Schalke - Last league win: 1958
10th Arsenal - Last league win: 2004

3+ years:
4th Chelsea - Last league win: 2010 (European Cup 2012, Uefa Cup 2013) (Maybe a little harsh)
14th Milan - Last league win: 2011

Even Tottenham are 17th!

We've got a shitty draw again, no doubt. The only slightly comforting thing is not having to witness the scum drawing no hopers again,

But what puzzles me, is why do UEFA keep shitting on Bayern as well?

God knows, its a Farce when the English Champions draw the German Champions in the fecking groups, 2nd and 3rd best leagues in Europe (On Coefficient).

"...boring, mindless and mean..."

Could well be about UEFA.

Evidently Chicken..

Glad we didn't get Burnley.

oi, we live near there!

Was it a fix last year when we drew two of the worst sides I've seen us play in years?

Some incredible babies about.

Is this what is classed as banter.

People are not enthralled by the draw because we played 2 of the teams last year and once again (3 of the 4 draws we have been in) we have drawn the best team in pot 4. Quite incredible odds really

I'd like to see how Zabaleta and Kolarov will manage to stop Gervinho and Iturbe.

P.s. Watch out for the Turkish guy (Ucan)

We've seen Gervihno, and he won't need stopping. He'll just run off into the sunset ;-)

Honestly, they must be just a utterly pissed off about as we are.

Great article from Samuel.

Martin Samuel spot on as he is on most things. Basically says the competition for the most part is a pile of shite...can't disagree.
