with the CL draw almost upon us

[Ray78]

A tricky group but if we are switched on then we should have a very good chance in progressing.

I reckon we've got a result there.

 

[cleavers]

That's what I worked out just then:

München LD
CSKA LW
Plzen WW
=10points.

We went out with 10 points 2 years ago.

normaly unheard of with 10 pts we were very unlucky,id take the 10 pts now

It only happens if there is a group whipping boy, Villareal last time.

Not the worst draw in the world. Fancy a trip to Munich or Plzen!

 

[adrianr]

beat plzen x 2 = 6 points
draw away, beat home cska = 10 points
draw away, draw home bayern = 12 points

Exactly what I'm thinking. 1st could easily come down to a head to head as well.

Tbh i can see Man U no getting past the group stage :D

Plzen played their games in the Eden Stadium, Prague (cap 21000) in the 11/12 group stage fixtures.

Isnt that due to reconstruction to their own stadium...?

It says it was approved for them to play in their own stadium in the 2011/12 europe league vs shalke

Whey-hey, we've got to progress from this group.

 

[LoveCity]

I've been warned by a Czech native that Plzen could be the surprise package of the Champions League and play very good football, but just sold a player to Freiburg.

 

[Deepest Blue]

Rags and Arsenal both lodged official protests.

Apparently the script went missing and the draw was done fairly which is against UEFA guarantee contract.
