CL Draw - Friday 3rd

[Rocket]

in the past, i might have been concerned by about 3 of the unseeded teams, but if we can't beat every single one of those unseeded teams over 2 legs, we don't deserve to make the group stages

Liverpool
Arsenal
Valencia
Sevilla
Benfica
Ajax
Werder Bremen
Celtic
Zaglebie Lubin or Steaua Bucuresti
Lazio
Rangers or FK Zeta

Agree, but it would be nice to avoid those top 3 non-seeds.

[Rocket]

yes, i'll take those hafnarmdsjajajajiid fellas

yes, i'll take those hafnarmdsjajajajiid fellas

I'd rather play FC Bate so we can have

Liverpool Master Bate

headlines

[Graybach]

Which is the nearest?

We should comfortably beat ALL those!

Is the qualifier later this year? I thought at least the first leg is normally before the season kick's off. Having said that I think the kick-off is earlier this year. It's normally the same weekend as the v-festival.

[disco]

Toulouse for a guess...

[Catrin]

The odds are obviously in our favour but plenty of the unseeded teams could put up a fair bit of resistance. Rosenborg used to do quite well in the CL and I'm sure FC Copenhagen have been giant-killers in their day.

[Rocket]

not over two legs fella.

if we can get to the final, we can beat all of those

[lfcruleus]

rather not be going to moscow or too far eastern block but your right we should beat any of em, if not we can concentrate on the league!

[Shaggy]

Is this today or what?

[bigfooty]

Its in 50 minutes.

[Flake]

I thought it was mid day...

[Los Rojos]

I'd take anyone apart from Fenerbahce (you never what to expect against Turkish sides) but hope we get someone like FH Hafnarfjördur or IF Elfsborg.

Copehagen beat the scum last year so they're decent at this kind of level. Salzburg are playing some good stuff under Trappatoni as well from what I hear. It might be worth avoiding them as well.

[Slim]

I wouldn't really fancy Spartak Moscow. We only want to have to make one trip to Moscow this season - for the final next May.

[CAD]

I don't give a damn who we draw. We should have no problems regardless. Not over two legs. Sparta Prague, Fenerbahce, AEK Athens, Rosenborg and Moscow. Who cares?

Just bring it, Meat!
