Champions League draw

[Craig_H]

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

Maybe the odd group, but the entire draw??

That'd be hilarious.

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

The tought has occured to me to stop watching at about 80 mins.........but I'll probably miss the Villa game altogether so we should pummel them by all acounts.

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.

POT A
Manchester United
Chelsea
Arsenal
LIVERPOOL
Internazionale
Real Madrid
Barcelona
Olympique Lyonnais

POT B
Bayern Munchen
PSV Eindhoven
Villarreal CF
AS Roma
FC Porto
Werder Bremen
Sporting Lisbon
Juventus

POT C
Zenit St Petersburg
Steaua Bucharest
Panathinaikos
Girondins de Bordeaux
Celtic
FC Basle
Fenerbahce
Olympique de Marseille

POT D
Shakhtar Donetsk
ACF Fiorentina
Club Atletico de Madrid
Dynamo Kiev
CFR Cluj
Aalborg Boldspilklub
Anorthosis Famagusta FC
BATE Borisov



Some real ****ters in pot D, whoever ends up with Atletico Madrid or Fiorentina are unlucky. Would rather avoid Juventus, Villarreal and Bayern Munich from Pot A and Zenit & Fenerbahce from Pot C

Best scenario:
LFC
PSV we always get them!
Basle I want revenge!
Cluj they rock!
Worst:
LFC
Bayern Munich
Zenit
Atletico Madrid

Very unbalanced pots.

Can really go either way. We could get a piss easy draw or a very tough one.

Pot 2 are all good teams, but Bayern and Juventus I'd like to avoid. PSV and Bremen are the weakest of the lot.

Pot 3 is tricky. You've got Zenit, Marseille and Fenerbahçe who are all tough and then you've got Steaua and Basel which should be much easier.

But Pot 4 is the worst. You either get a no mark team, or Atletico/Fiorentina/Shakhtar/Dinamo, who are better than some teams on Pot 2.

So true A real mixed bag. I guess it adds to the look of the draw, keeps it interesting etc.

My guess for what it's worth, which is nothing, is Juve, Panathinaikos, Fiorentina.

Who the **** are Cluj?

Who the **** are Cluj?

Best mates with Borisov.

[Red_Polo]

I havant a clue

[DannyMan2006]

My guess: AS Roma, Olympic Marseille, Atletico Madrid.

Tough, but I expect us to qualify.

AS Roma - The return of the Riise, and plenty of recent history with them.

Marseille - Plenty of recent history.

Atletico - Liverpools number 9.

Chelsea will get Bremen, Zenit and BATE

Man Utd will get Bayern, Celtic and Famagusta (Though with the Peter Schmeichel connection I could see Aalborg).

Arsenal will get Villarreal, Bordeaux and Fiorintina.

And I would not be suprised by the above. Or close to that anyhow.

Of the others I could see Barca drawing Steau, Inter getting Porto, Real Madrid and PSV and also Juvenus pairing up with Lyon.

[Bari]

CFR Cluj
Aalborg Boldspilklub
Anorthosis Famagusta FC
BATE Borisov

Never heard of these Teams?

Famagusta FC great name

[DannyMan2006]

CFR Cluj
Aalborg Boldspilklub
Anorthosis Famagusta FC
BATE Borisov

Never heard of these Teams?

Famagusta FC great name

Heard of all bar Cluj. Famagusta have played an English team in the Uefa cup recently - Maybe blackburn? EDIT: it was Spurs last year

Aalborg are a well known Danish team. And BATE just rings a bell.
