who do you want to see us draw?

 

Theres a few interesting games here.

I feel with the compressed first half to season any possible favours we can get will be gratefully accepted.

however I'm sure people want us to play bayern for some reason

the danger sides are usually 3rd seeds and the usual italian and german teams in there would make this a difficult group.

Ac milan?
brugges?
rangers?

and thats just what city put on on their brown envelope

 

I'm just surprised we're still just in the second seed group.

 

Knowing the way football works you'll probably end up with PSG. I'd be interested to see if you refused an allocation from them after events in May. Would be a powerful statement which would reflect badly on France imo.

 

Probably won't get easier than Ajax, Leipzig and Qarabag (whoever the duck they are)

 

Winners do go into pot 1.

Losers don't. 1point in league and 1 goal loss in cl final mean we are in pot 2. We gave everything but thems the breaks.

 

You've a point there. It's the sort of thing they would do.

 

Never get why Europa winners get pot 1. Fair enough they qualify, but as a seeded team doesn't make sense.

 

Dunno, maybe it seems to be another kind of reward for winning the thing?

but it'll produce a totally **** group either way won't it?

 

Second seed would be appropriate maybe. The best you deserve for winning a second tier pot.
To suggest that Frankfurt are a stronger team than Liverpool is plain silly.

 

The Champions League draw taking place tomorrow at Ataturk Stadium where the Reds won the trophy in 2005 - on Thursday, August 25 at 4pm UK time.

 

At least our rivals know there will be one easy game in their group if they get us..

 

Out in the groups.

Might as well Close fred

 

We want the Group of Death because we always top them.

 

Indeed. Lucky if we get one point in the group. Season over.

 

Sounds like we need another sacrifice...

 

Let's see if the first one works first.

 

Nah, slaughter the ****ing lot

 

This. If it doesn’t work the first time it just means that the gods aren't appeased yet.

 

If it doesn't work, we've not sacrificed enough and need to double the efforts
