Champions league draw

Champions league draw

Group A:

Nice draw for Rangers. Chelsea got the worst of it in terms of English teams.

Chelsea will finish second behind Atleti! Some big games in there- Bayern vs Juve, Real vs Milan, Inter vs Barca... Arsenal got an easy group!!

Arsenal get a pretty easy group again.

Rangers group is ridiculous, but still think they're unlikely to get through.

Pleased with that draw. 

Not too far off, but think that Atletico Madrid > Porto this season (expect loss of Lisandro will hit them hard), and in group H there'll be an almighty scramble for the second, would give Olympiakos a slight edge at this stage.

As for the final, Real Madrid may get there, highly doubt Juve can.el grapadura2009-08-28 08:40:13

Reds to twat Real in the Final! And Atletico over Porto, as you say.

FOR�A PORTO Just you wait and see.

MUFC got a crap draw
Obafemi will be fored up to give it to them
the other good thing is we will get two games shown because the TV station is only allowed to show MUFC or Real Madrid it seems
it'll be backward somersault city

Continued hate for Chelsea. Can't see us losing one game on our way to pick up our well deserved CL Trophy which was stolen from us last season.

THIS MANY POSTS AND STILL NO MENTION OF THE GROUP OF DEATH

I FEAR this means no of us can be hired as TV Football analyst lads.

No-one stole anything from Chelsea. It was their own incompetence that denied them a spot in the final.

Yah, but Chelseea will win their pool.

Not sure if Chelsea will finish top. They've got the toughest group of the English teams - but they should qualify.

Which is.....

I have no idea Comrade, just verbalizing what is normally stock comments
re: any major tournament draw.

The only group that has four national champions in it?

Group F? No.

I don't think there is a real group of death this time round. Bit boring really.

It was more of a trainspotting comment rather than my actual thoughts.
If there is a group of death, it's probably either Chelsea's or Bayern's group, in each of which where there's three teams that would probably have expected at the start of the draw to progress to knockout rounds.

who wants to go to Kiev?

Never mind Kiev, who wants to go to Kazan...it's in Tatarstan, well to the east of Ukraine.

Kiev in with winning chance
Rubin is well named by might be nervous pervous first time up

ha ha Sheva to fire up

AC Milan lose to FC Zurich at San Siro this morning. I've been smiling ever since.

Forza small(ish) clubs.

Long way to go, amigo.

Declaring Liverpool out of the Champions League before their elimination doesn't have a proud history.  I honestly can't believe that they'll fail to get through the Group Stage.

no one said they would?
