Champions League (incl. 2012/2013)

So, the draw is tomorrow morning 4am our time I believe in Monaco. I think I'll get up. Will be interesting.

Teams are involved are:
Pot 1:
Internazionale
Chelsea FC
Arsenal FC
Manchester United FC
FC Bayern Munchen
AC Milan
FC Barcelona
Olympique Lyonnais

Pot 2:
SV Werder Bremen
CF Real Madrid
AS Roma
FC Shakhtar Donetsk
SL Benfica
CF Valencia
Olympique de Marseille
Panathinaikos FC

Pot 3:
Tottenham Hotspur FC
AFC Ajax
Rangers FC
FC Schalke 04
FC Basel 1893
SC Braga
FC Kobenhavn
FC Spartak Moskva

Pot 4:
AJ Auxerre
Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC
FC Twente
Bursaspor
FC Rubin Kazan
CFR 1907 Cluj
FK Partizan
MSK Zilina

Well, for Auxerre, it is tough. Though I am hoping for them, for something like, AC Milan, FC Braga and Panathinaikos FC. Madrid in Pot 2 is going to be tough for one of the big teams. Whatever group they are in it should be interesting.

Discuss.

Is it not free for all? Just a random team from each pot? Arsenal and Tottenham would be great.

No. You can't draw someone from the same country until the QFs.

nah cant have a team from the same league in group stages (fairly certain)

Ah yes, right you are.

Don't want to get RM again.... with Mourinho they are a better side

40 mins time, looking forward to this.

Auxerre are f**ked dammit!

Barca's group...that'd be a weakish one (Barca excepted) for Europa League, let alone Champions League.

pretty content with our draw, drogba goes back to marseille. trip to moscow will be tricky.

And Zilina. My heart breaks when I see some of the rubbish that gets this far. They are woeful.

Champion's League...

Ah poor  Manchester about to be deluged by enlightened Glaswegians again!

Our group is hard,Tottenham is a very good team,Werder have a fantastic player like Marin,and Twente are not easy to defeat.

 
admittedly ive never seen them play. are they really that bad? hoping the trip to slovakia wont be too diffecult

Let me put it this way - they barely squeezed past the Maltese champions 3-2 on aggregate in one of the qualifying rounds. They lost the game in Malta 1-0.

Also saw them play against Hajduk last season, could barely string three passes together (Hajduk was even worse, awful game to watch).el grapadura2010-09-02 10:55:47

sad that such weak teams can make it, guess it's about a fair representation. still though...

United draw 0-0 with Rangers at home...

Spurs throw a 2 goal lead, ouch.

Chelsea leaving Lampard, Cole and Drogba at home for their game at Zilina tomorrow morning.
