Champions League Draw

[Mattshark]

Firstly, its about time we get an easier group than usual. Porto is a good team but we have beaten them under GED once before so with RAFA it should not be a problem.
Marseille is having a bad start to the season but they are a good team with Ziani & Nasri in midfield. We'll beat them though.
Besiktas is the less glamorous of the top 3 clubs in Turkey. Decent team but they are not as good as Fenerbache or Galatasaray.
I expect at least 14 points from this group.
Secondly, all the other 3 English clubs got decent groups as well.

Sure their not better than Gala, their in CL, Gala aren't

Our odds have dropped down to 12/1 after the draw from 10/1. 6th favourites.

typical bookies we're 12-1, ahead of us are Barca, Chavs, Scum, Inter, AC

Seriously we've been to 2 finals in 3 years and only 2 of those teams have reached a final in that time, ridiculous

Think it says it all when last years finalists are 5th and 6th favs.

Bookies will always show lower odds for scum and chavs because so many numpties will bet on them.

And Inter? when was the last time they looked good in Europe?

I'm happy anyway, don't wanna be favourites, but the bookies will never learn and keep spunking money out on us

The teams in our group are ****. Im happy with that but could do without having to go to Turkey.

true but their team this season is not as good as last season, they have not added any good players of note maybe this will clarify my post.

Do you go to the European aways as a steward Glove ?

Only if it involves sleeping in Brothels

Let's be honest, every top seeded side should be topping their group, other than Valencia and Sevilla, the rest in pots 2, 3 and 4 are also-rans and no threat.

Was just looking at all the groups and started to think the same thing, there is a big jump in quality midway through pot 2.

Hehe, did you guys who watched the draw notice that the little clips for the defender of the year- most of the other guys were shown with spectacular tackles - but Terry was shown moaning most of the time? LOL
