    I want teams we have not faced before.

    Chelsea, Kiev, Lille would be a good group :50:.

    Proberly end up with same old Manchester United, Benfica, Ajax :38:

    Hopefully avoid PSG and Juventus from pot 3.

    As long as it's teams we haven't faced too much before then I'll be happy. Would love a big English side as it would be cheap travel and the BOB games are always quality, but other than that I'm not too fussed. An easier team from pot 3 might be nice so we could have a good chance of getting into the EL.

    I'm looking forward to this afternoon's draw for the Champions League group stage.


    Pot One

    Chelsea
    Barcelona
    Manchester United
    Bayern Munich
    Real Madrid
    Arsenal
    Porto
    Milan

    Pot Two

    Valencia
    Benfica
    Shakhtar Donetsk
    Zenit St Petersburg
    Schalke 04
    Manchester City
    Braga
    Dynamo Kyiv

    Pot Three

    Olympiakos
    Ajax
    Anderlecht
    Juventus
    Lille
    Spartak Moscow
    Paris St Germain
    Galatasaray

    We have a 62.5% chance of drawing an English or Spanish team from pot 1. And if we do then this would then leave us with a 43% chance of drawing a Russian or Ukrainian team from pot 2. Plus any from pot 3 (excluding Spartak Moscow if we get Zenit from pot 2).

    So it looks like Chelsea, Zenit St. Petersburg and Galatasaray, if we want to face teams that we haven't faced before (I think) in UEFA competitions. Or Barcelona, Shakhtar Donetsk and Ajax to re-kindle old rivalries.

    The toughest draw would probably be Real Madrid, Manchester City and Spartak Moscow, while the "easiest" draw might be Arsenal (a pale shadow of their former selves), Braga and Anderlecht.

    Whoever we get, if Lenny can convince his players to regard the opposition as no more than potentially fallible human beings, like themselves, and that the location of any given football pitch should make little difference to how they can play, then we have a chance of beating any of them on any given day.

    Come on Bhoys, it's time to believe in yourselves.

    I hope we get:

    A.C. Milan
    Schalke 04
    Anderlecht

    I think we would make a good show of ourselves in that group. All teams I think we could win against at home and maybe sneak a draw or cheeky win away.
