Pot One: Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Porto, AC Milan. Pot Two: Valencia, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St Petersburg, Schalke, Manchester City, Braga, Dynamo Kiev. Pot Three: Olympiakos, Ajax, Anderlecht, Juventus, Lille, Spartak Moscow, Paris St Germain, Galatasaray. Pot Four: Celtic, Borussia Dortmund, BATE Borisov, Dinamo Zagreb, CFR Cluj, Malaga, Montpellier, FC Nordsjaelland. Porto. Braga. Anderlecht. Celtic. Real Madrid. Man City. PSG. Celtic.
I reckon we could come away with a good draw. Group would be ideal. Think i'd **** it if we got that Madrid, City, PSG group.

I thought it was just the qualifiers teams from the same country couldn't face each other in. Ah well, uber fail.
Nah, teams from the same country can't meet until the QF at the earliest, I think. We're odds on to get an English team. Three in pot 1 and one in pot 2 - given that the 3 groups with seed 1 teams can't have Man City in their group, our chances of getting an EPL team must be about 65-70% On the face of it, it looks like 50/50 - but we have a 62.5% chance of not having a pot 1 English team - compound that with the fact that one of these groups have a greater chance than normal of drawing Man City (20% rather than 12.5%) means, I think, that the odds for us NOT getting an EPL team are pretty slim. Hope this post makes sense
Did anyone see the Udinese - Braga game the other night!? Young Brazilian for Udinese tried a panenka penalty, keeper stood still and caught it haha. Only **** to miss his penalty! Udinese president was looking . Apparently the kid is called The Wizard...
Glesgabhoy knows what my job is I'm too pished to work out the compound percentages but it's greater than 50%
I was remembering Liverpool getting Chelsea in the groups but had a check and it was the year they got the wild card after winning it and the didn't get 'country protection'.
