I'm delighted! You want to be playing these top teams as it's more entertaining and a test for the players. I think we'll make it through as this is a better team than previous years.

My thinking too...we dreamed for years of top draws like this against top teams.. whats changed??

Harsh on Bayern again. They must feel UEFA are against them when they hand them the best team in pot 2 and the best team in pot 4, plus a long, dull trip to nasty Russia.
do you actually no how far it is from Munich to Moscow

Hitler fucking walked it

About a 25 hr drive
 
I can understand spanish tv not wanting barcelona and real playing on the same night or 2 teams from the same country if their country get 2 entrants but what fecking difference does it make ito tv f we play on the same night as arsenal compared with us on same night as chelsea? None!

Not quite. Made it to Stalingrad but no closer.

Napoleon got closer and he didn't have any tanks!!!
 
Benfica and Porto were possibly the only potentially "easy" Pot 1 teams we could have faced. So we had a 66.33% chance of drawing a tough one. It would have helped had Arsenal gone out last night. Although I'd like them tied up in Europe as long as possible from the PL perspective.

Among the Pot 3 teams several tougher than CSKA.

So really the only bad luck I see is drawing Roma who were easily the best team in Pot 4.

That being said we are more than capable of beating CSKA home and away, And I reckon we can draw with Roma away. Job done.

Unfortunately with Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal going through it will be 50/50 meeting someone like Barca, RM, AM, Juventus, Dortmund, PSG.
 
Bayern don't seem overly happy. I've just had a look at their twitter page. Here's what they said;

@MCFC ist Gegner vom #FCBayern in der CL-Gruppenphase - mal wieder!
Roughly Translated as
MCFC are the opponents of Bayern in the CL Group Phase - Again!

Ok, that could be read a few different ways, but it's not a statement brimming with joy

There are four English teams, so logically the TV companies are going to want 2 in one half of the draw and two in the other half so that the games are split evenly on tuesdays and wednesdays. It might have been easier for us if Arsenal hadn't qualfied.
 
Ffs what is up with people on this topic we can win this group we're man City we've got 1 of the strongest squads in europe we've beat bayern twice we will win this group and put the fear of death into the rest of europe!
