The Athletic's rag correspondent showing his immense knowledge here, complaining about the TV pairing system as though they haven't benefited from it for years. Our fault, clearly.

Apart from when the rags benefitted it at our expense ..we were all wondering why they got Cluj (and an easier group) whilst we were left with Dortmund instead...the same explanation Bayern and Dortmund couldnt play on the same night for tv
 
So they weren't allowed in a couple of groups but it's not as though they were forced into a choice of one. Surprised they don't moan about the rags not getting straight to the final.

Yet we still get told the draws are not fixed.

Of course they are fucking fixed and manipulated and all for money.
 
As Khaldoon says in his interview they can say what they want, we continue with our business model etc. The media know we are now the team to beat so every setback is greeted with faux shock horror and detailed analysis. A mixture of click bait, fear and jealousy is the motivation of most sports hacks but I agree with earlier posters providing our executive management continues its steady understated but effective development of the club and the group eventually surely the media will realise they are pushing against an incoming tide of city success which will eventually swamp them (see what I did there). No point getting wound up - it’s not as if they have opinions worth taking seriously. Sod them and let Liverpool and the rags receive all the attention as the plucky challengers they now are****
Been said many times but it all boils down to one thing, racism. It seems the word oil is an accepted and acceptable replacement for the term dirty Arab!

With only Dortmund, Cluj & Nordsjaelland left in pot 4 and only the groups containing City, United & Chelsea left there was no draw at all. Cluj were 'placed' in United's group, Nordsjaelland in Chelsea's leaving City with Dortmund. That was one of those groups of death we used to get with even the pot 4 teams (Dortmund, Napoli, Roma,) being strong sides instead of the ususal cannon fodder the rags always got. (Otelul Galati anyone?).
