Champs League Draw

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Same stitch up every year. Getting the only tough team from Pot 4, for the third time in 4 years, just reeks. Yes, we're good enough to pull through, but the reality is that we will yet again be unable to rest any of our best players for any of the games. And take a look at who we're playing on the following weekends. It was precisely this sort of unremitting schedule that robbed us of the services of Aguero for half the fucking season last year

Hopefully we don't have to travel to CSKA in winter.

Also, anyone calling Roma shit clearly hasn't watched that team. They boast one of the best mid-fields in Europe and play a very frustrating style. Think Napoli of a few years ago, with more polish, grit and a better manager.

Though they have just sold their best CB and Strootman is out until after you play them, which is fortunate. They're a good team but you should beat them fairly comfortably I'd say.

If yer can't play teams from yer own league you shouldn't have to play the fuckin' teams yer played last season. 'Nother fix from Platters!!

So the champions of England get the most difficult group out of the four representatives?

Coupled with the farthest distance to travel in Europe?

Those saying stop moaning.

It's the direct impact the competitive nature of these games will have upon our Premier League fixtures.

Chelsea can literally afford to put the reserves out before they play us.

Chelsea have earned the right for an easier draw by being in Pot 1 though

And Arsenal have earned that right by consistently being the 4th best side in England and rarely getting beyond the round of 16 in Europe despite getting piss easy groups?

They were in the hardest group of all English sides last year and have a fairly tough group this time.

So you have an issue with the co-effcient system then really?

we beat them away

When they were 95% certain to top the group and 100% certain to qualify. The game meant nothing to them.

And shortly after that, everyone remembered that Pep hates for his players to shoot the ball and they got roundly stomped by Real Madrid after barely surviving the rags.

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.

I'm sure the Roma fans are just as concerned about us and Bayern. They won't be happy either.

brilliant , put the munichs in their place , we beat them away with our 2nd team last season , roma are shite and have sold their best players , and moscow arent worth mentioning ,they play in a one team league. Looking at sky's poll , what a fcuking laugh , all the mickey mousers , sparing time from buying candles to vote on the sky poll , deluded tossers actually think they have a chance of winning it , perhaps they will be presented with the champs league trophy in January , the victims like an early clebration

Why do we end up being in the group of death all the time??.Now we got to field our strongest 11 for all the fixtures and on top of that there is pl too,this is dreadful.
