City & Arsenal and the Champs League Pots

[LoveCity]

I'd hope we could avoid Juve - a very, very difficult team to beat.

Can see the draw now;

Barcelona
FC Shakhtar Donetsk
Manchester City FC
Bayer 04 Leverkusen

Teams from 2 strong leagues and a bastard away trip to Ukraine, fancy our chances this time though, no way can it be more difficult than last year!

What we want is for Bayern and Real/Barca to be drawn on the same side of the draw as 2 of either Utd, Chelsea or Arsenal.

Then we can avoid those teams.

But we are then equally as likely to end up with Atletico or Milan.

Personally think we are destined to get Milan.

Can see us getting a group of:

Porto
Milan
Us
Sociedad

Milan aren't what they used to be.... I wouldn't be worried in the slightest about them compared to other teams in the competiton.

Yeh, I'm thinking in terms of destined to be drawn with Balo

Can anyone remind me who will play away first on matchday/game 1, does it depend how you are drawn out?

I would actually favor City to win that group with Porto and Milan battling it out for second.

Who can guess when we'll play Ajax away ?

 

[SkyBlueUSA]

Just a gut feeling, but UEFA would love to draw City in the same group with PSG. Corrupt bastards.

There is a second draw behind the scenes that determines the order of the games.

So once the draw is complete we will know the teams we have but the order and dates of the games is only revealed by UEFA a couple of hours later

Bayern
Atleti
City
Karagandy

 

[MadchesterCity]

It will probably end up as :

Barcelona
PSG
Us
Napoli

Utd
CSKA Moscow
Olympiakos Piraeus
Austria Wien

The odds on that happening should be about 1000:1, but it's highly likely.

Haha that looks about right, you could switch out the Austrian for the Kazakhs or another minnow
