We can't draw Chelsea, that happened in 2006 because of the unique circumstances.

I thought we couldn't get another English club? Or have they changed the rules?

[spud_gun]

Celtic, please let it be Celtic.

1) we'll batter them at home
2) Chris may actually have some nice things to say about an opposing team / manager
3) we'll batter them away from home

I'd also take Barca. The cunts that they are.

[Shaggy]

Pot 2 is stronger than 1 ffs

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I'd love Barcelona after all this saga over the summer, they aren't the same outfit they once were, Suarez and Mascherano return to Anfield and we can dick them when their **** midfield get caught on the ball... Top it off by bringing Grujic on to hammer home the final nail

The new format is a bit mad, I think it makes for stronger and weaker groups, some will be unmissable whilst others won't be worth watching at all.

Can't recall a pot 3 this strong in a long time either!

Liverpool
Spurs
Napoli
Roma.

[spud_gun]

Avoid Juve, Munich and Real in pot 1 and we'll get through the group stages irrespective of who we get in pot 2

[Tatterdemalion]

Worst case scenario

Madrid
PSG
Liverpool
Leipzig

Best case scenario

Moscow
Porto
Liverpool
Qarabag

Really ? Monaco would be a dream surely.

Can anyone explain how and why Barca et al are in pot 2 with those chumps in pot 1?

[spud_gun]

everyone in pot 1 won their domestic league

How exciting is this?!
