Has city and united playing on the same night. Not sure of its true but I heard this morning on talksport that the TV conpanies won't allow that and so one of us will be moved I expect.

Bayern away last game, that could be a group topper decider.

If we can beat them at home then we have a chance of topping the group.

We just have to make sure we don't balls up in Plzen and Moscow.

"Serious consequences will be made if City dont get though that group"

WTF does that mean?

It means this place will go into meltdown, the media will wet their red and white underwear, the rags will piss themselves unless they too are in the Thursday night - Channel 5 show, and we'll have to instigate pre-match sacrifices in the centre circle.

Better make sure we go into that final fixture already qualified, because I don't fancy having to get something in Munich.

Why were Bayern

Leverkusen automatically put in United's group.? As far as I can remember there was a couple of groups left apart from ours. Obviously they couldn't be in Munich's group but they could have been in the Porto group which I think came after ours.

As an added question is it ever possible given the complexity of the draw for it to all go wrong when they get to Pool 4. i.e. they have to put two sides from the same country in the same group?

How serious a threat are CSK Moscow & Viktoria Plzen?

My first reaction was 'could've been worse' tbh, but as neither were in the champions league last season, it's hard to judge I guess.

Just wondering what others, who are a bit more familier with Eastern European football than me, rated our chances against them?

Plastic pitch could be a worry against CSK

If it goes to plan the last game should be the group decider in who get top seed, we just need to beat or draw Bayern at home and not balls up in Plzen and Moscow.

We really should be trying to beat Bayern at home if we can.

Khimki Arena has a grass pitch. it may be in no good condition by the end of November though.
