    Annoyed we can't draw Sporting Lisbon.

    Would have been a great couple of games.

    I'll take Spartak - Porto - Anderlecht is the most realistic Group we could qualify from but the odds of it happening are slim to none :(

    hopefully we can get anderlecht, olympiacos or Basel from pot 3 regardless so we have a fighting chance for 3rd.

    We needed Olympiakos, Liverpool, Napoli or Sevilla to go out only one of them and we would have went into pot 3 but alas they all went through Sevilla by a width of a post by all accounts just our luck!

    Anyone looking for glamour ties/big teams we haven't played for a long time is embarrassing.

    We should be looking to draw teams who we are confident we can beat and progress into next round.

    We aren't here to just make up numbers and get publicity. Such small team mentality that.

    Really do not want napoli. Front 3 for them are rapid and their defence is solid too. Anderlecht would be a good team to get from there.

    We're due a bit of luck. I reckon we will get an average group this year - 2 good teams and 1 team
    we can compete with. Something in the ilk of Bayern, Man Utd and Anderlecht.

    Mind you, has anyone got any odds on us to get Barcelona in the groups again?

    Skybet will have it on.

    I put money on us getting Barca or Benfica last year. There's nothing surer.

    They had nasty comments about us after we beat them a few years back more or less calling us thugs.

    Easier group possible to get through to last 16 which is worth far more than any group stage glamour tie, games will be sell outs anyway and ratings don't affect our tv money as far as I'm aware? So financially doesn't matter in that sense

    Were not here to take part,we're here to take over :ynwacelti:ynwacelti:ynwacelti
