    Not with those teeth to pay for. Far too expensive for us.

    tbh, these are the nights you pay for. I think it's rather exciting visitng all these different places. Agree if you are regulars then you probably want a better chance at winning the thing but as a fan you must be happy as it's only really last year you went to the big clubs and experienced the full big european game nights

    Loving our group. Will probably try and go to most of them, only ever been to the Nou Camp for a tour. Never been Italy. Been Dam loads of times, including Ajax-PSV at the Amsterdam Arena so may do a little Dam trip and then train to Eindhoven for the game.

    We pissed the so called group of death last year. Getting ahead of Barca is a really tough ask though.

    Man City get an easy group.

    Utd, Spurs, Liverpool about even.

    Good match ups in each group bar city.

    personally think Pools group is harder to qualify from but your 4th team is harder than Pools 4th team.

    Playing both Milans in 2010-11 was good
    (our first scalping of the defending champions - repeated last season) .

    Barca will be good, because chances to see a PL team
    face the brilliance of Messi are lessening by the season.

    I think Pool’s is easier. They’ll do both PSG and Napoli.


    Utd however!......

    PSG are on a level with Barca
    Napoli imo are better than both PSV and Inter (as shown by their positions in the league)
    obviously PSV/Inter >>>>>>>>>> Red Star.

    I still expect Pool to qualify out of it though.

    I know it was not as serious, but they smashed Napoli 5-0 just last month.

    PSG are nowhere near Barca for me.

    Inter were ****e, but they've strengthened heavily.
    Signed Nainggolan, de Vrij, Vrsalijko, Asamoah and Balde in the summer, amongst others.
    We need Moura to do a Bale and get someone Maicon'd.

    No one cares about pre season and the italians started pre season even later than the english. We'll see how Napoli fare anyway but they are nearly on par with Juve.

    Differences in opinion but the Barca midfield is not that great anymore and neither is their defence. Arguably that PSG front three is as lethal as that Barca one. None of that Barca front 3 has that much pace to be frightening on the counter anymore imo. It's not a good balance (Suarez, Messi, Coutinho i think, i havent been watching barca).
