with the CL draw almost upon us

[johnmc]

Be confident as long as we avoid Napoli in pot 4.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Those final pots...

POT 1: Bayern Munich, Barccelona, Real Madrid, Porto, Benfica (we can't draw the 3 English teams)

POT 2: Atletico Madrid, Shakhtar Donesk, AC Milan, Schalke 04, Marseille, CSKA Moskow, PSG, Juventus

POT 4: Copenhagen, Napoli, Anderlecht, Celtic, Real Sociedad, Steaua Bucharest, Viktoria Plzen, Austria Vienna<br /><br />-- Wed Aug 28, 2013 10:13 pm --<br /><br />

Be confident as long as we avoid Napoli in pot 4.

So we really want Juventus or AC Milan? With the former City players in their ranks the answer to that is surely no thanks. You just know what would happen....

I'd prefer Milan to Napoli. Fair point re juve though. We could avoid both all 3 though.

Re: City in Europe 2013/14

Imagine this draw.

Barcelona/Bayern/Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City, Napoli.

We would be in trouble.

 

[City Raider]

porto, psg, celtic - just got a weird feeling we're getting celtic

 

[thenabster]

What if we got this draw.

Barcelona/Bayern/Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City, Napoli.

That would be funny.

 

[gmckennasell]

What time is the draw? Is it a morning affair?

I think they start playing with their balls about 5 o'clock.

Our ball gets warmed up in the microwave at 4.58 lol

microwave not required Rumenigge and Platini made the draw in July

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

We could get some real toughies looking at those pots

1 Barca, Juventus, City, Leverkusen.

Can't get that as Leverkusen are in our pot.

Ah so they are my mistake

 

[davymcfc]

Benfica, Schalke and Copenhagen would be a brilliant group.

Think the timings of the games are going to be important. Say we get Bayern, Pep has already shown that he will rest players for games. So say we drew them but have them last game at home when they have qualified that could help. But could also help say Napoli or Celtic if they were in our group and played them under those circumstances.
