Champions League draw

[the rev leeroy brown]

hope we get celtic. payback for UEFA cup knockout few years ago.

[bobbyfallon]

was it this stage last year that someone predicted the exact outcome of our group or something?????

if so where is he so i can get to the bookies

[nebbers]

You watch us get

Juventus
Celtic
Athletico Madrid

[The_weatherman]

Would also be awful though getting Zenit and Shakthar/Kiev, these pots are going to offer some serious travel milage. I'd take anything close to home, we often make a meal out of the "lesser" teams so I really don't care who we get only that it's relatively close.

Getting Bayern, Celtic and Atletico would also just be good practice and experience and offer some excitement. It's no fun watching these no-mark teams, Famagusta ?????

I have to say I'm with you in that I'm not all that worried about the quality of the teams we may have to face. We have to improve to beat anyone and when we have done that in the past we have shown we can beat anyone. I'd back us in any group.

For me the concern is trying to balance the CL with the league and as such I want to see as little long distance travel as possible.

I don't care who we get.

Seeing as I'll be at Anfield for the three games, I like to draw Munich, Zenit and Atletico setting up some exciting games of football.

FFS i cant believe we got Juve, Fenerbache and kiev

Absolutely, although I somehow don't feel all that excited about the coming season, I haven't watced any of the games in full and I have missed three goals - all the winners My missus is always yelling at me come here and do that Liverpool always score when I am busy obeying her.

I'm suggesting that from now on your lovely lady treats you as a slave throughout all Liverpool matches.

Should have started this thread a couple of days ago, it was obvious we'd be in it

Anyway, it's at the odd time of 4:30pm tomorrow, rather than the usual 11:30am but here's the lineups.

As Shaggy will tell you this is because the balls are on the radiator warming nicely in preparation for another UEFA conspiracy

I'll wet myself laughing if that turns out to be correct, just from the sheer unlikeliness of anyone guessing it

[Scratch]

Zenit may not be a bad draw, especially if they lose a few players to last minute transfer activity...not afraid of anyone in the groups really, i reckon we'll piss the group stages no matter who we get...the harder the better!!

I reckon anyone could successfully guess the Group with ManU in it and i'd say this won't be far from the truth.
