    There's always a practice draw. Don't know who we got in the dry run but one of the groups was:

    Real Madrid
    Paris St Germain
    Man City
    Napoli

    <yikes>

    **** me, what a group that would be. Replace Napoli with us and that would be so uphill as to be vertical.

    I want an away day, I'm not going to Barca again and I'm not getting stabbed in Turin or Istanbul.

    I heard that the plod in Madrid are an absolute nightmare if we end up there.

    Man City fans and a club official got battered off them when they played Atletico.

    Turin is a nightmare of a city.

    I'll only be going to the home games.

    I want to avoid Chelsea - I reckon they'd cause a lot of bother in Glasgow - look at what they did to Manchester ffs.

    Billy McNeil was given the responsibility of picking baws out of the bowl, and he was struggling quite a bit with the concept...

    Billy McNeill not the only one to struggle with opening the balls but a little sad to see his deterioration to frailty - age is a cruel mistress.
