I miss the CL - urgh

 

[absolute bobbins]

Can’t believe that low rent Claudio Ranieri lookalike has UEFA embroidered on his jacket, what a state

 

[Marty]

When will UEFA realise that nobody who watches a draw gives a flying flamingo about anything other than the actual draw?

I'm only watching because I'm a sad draw junkie.

Bayern v Atletico in group A. Tasty.

I miss being in this so much.

Chelsea v Sevilla is a good matchup too.

 

[Marty]

Messi vs Ronaldo coming up too.

 

[Saoirse]

I hope Jose has the team watching this. This is where they should have been, not traipsing around East Europe, and it's where they have to be at an absolute minimum next season.

 

[wirE]

Group H, now that’s a tasty one ?

I always find you well informed, so whose your dark horse for this CL?

 

[Marty]

Some tasty groups there, and for the first time I can remember no really bad groups.

Thanks, I try to stay informed and it's part of my job to be so so I have no excuses.

There is no real dark horse for me. Salzburg are good and showed that last season but there are two better teams in their group.

I suppose Leipzig and Atalanta but you can't really call them dark horses after last season.

I think we have to mentally prepare for an EL quarter final against United tbh, there are two better teams than them in that group as it stands. The other three English should proceed but Liverpool's group is very fun and both Ajax and Atalanta can beat them on a top day.

Chavs, Scouse and Man City are so lucky, groups they all should win at worst still qualify 2nd.

Scouse have the easiest, after sponsoring VAR they have also sponsored the UCL draw by the seems of it

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

Manure have the hardest from all english clubs, PSG and RB Leizpig.

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

Ronaldo V Messi will be nice to have again

 

[TheTanguy]

Well-coached and quality sides like PSG and Leipzig will demolish United, the might finish third though.

City are the only ones who got *really* lucky IMO. If you're a second seed and draw either the Russian or Portuguese champion you already have a huge advantage just there.

Liverpool got one of the best third seeds and could conceivably lose to Ajax on a bad day. Midtjylland aren't good enough though.

Chelsea will find Sevilla and Rennes difficult, but it helps that they've bought Rennes' keeper...

Basaksehir are 0-0-3 in the start of the Turkish season and lost meekly to Copenhagen in the EL in August. United will have to do shockingly badly not to finish third but yes I too expect PSG and Leipzig to best them.
