Live and direct. Very excited, will really hit home when we get put in a group. Only 2 hours to go :dance:

All reactions to the groups in here.

Gonna watch the match again to pass the time....woohoo!

 

[Pringle]

will it not be on the UEFA website?

Is the Europa League draw afterwards? I'm itching to see who Man City get.

Europa League draw will probably be tomorrow (second legs are tonight aren't they? they don't do the draw until they know who's in it?)

Also, I've been warned that although it's advertised as 5pm draw, it probably won't take plus until at least 5.20pm cos UEFA have got some presentation crap to do.

Considering the 2nd legs of the Europa aren't untill tonight, I'm assuming not. :lol:

That will just add towards the build-up...it's all good.

Hopefully they drag on for the first half hour. I hate when I miss men in suits grabbing at balls.

Part of me wants to draw Inter AND Real Madrid.

The other part of me wants us to get to the knockout stages!

Image getting to knockout from a group like that!

The confidence that would give us would be incredible. And that would certainly get us the football worlds attention and we'd be a very attractive club for top top players going forward. Also, I like (and as we know, this club likes) to do things the hard way, so it would be super sweet to do it by beating some of the very best in Europe.

Think we will get:

Bayern
Roma
Bursaspor

Something with that strength mix would give us a fantastic chance. But would still like a 'hollywood' fixture with one of the uber big boys.

Wow! If we qualified from a group like that I would start believing we could win the whole bloody thing!

You are right. It's our way to do things the hard way, the more glorious and memorable path in the end.

I'll take whatever we get come 5.45 (or whatever time it'll all be done!) and will enjoy the whole experience anyway!
