    Assuming we won't win tomorrow night, and finish 2nd in our group, our pool of potential teams is the following, so far:

    CFR Cluj
    Benfica
    Olympiacos
    Fenerbahce
    Dinipro Dinipropetrovsk
    Rubin Kazan
    Lyon
    Metalist Kharkiv



    Who would you take out of those teams?

    BATE perhaps! I think the Russian teams would be my least preferred!

    Would rather not have the team having to go off to Russia on some godforsaken Thursday night. We got very lucky in the group draw in terms of geography

    BATE Borisov

    Er but none of them really. I was going to say Lyon as I watched them get smashed off Toulouse the other week and they looked ****. Then I realised they are top of Ligue 1.

    I fancy olympiacos me self like. Don't know why, but i always seem to think greek teams never really do well in europe.

    Side note, i think we could win well against any of those teams at SJP.

    Who the **** are Metalist Kharkiv and BATE Borisov?

    BATE are the champions of Belarus and have been in CL two years running. Not all that though.

    Probably Metalist from that list. If Bordeaux are anything like they were 1st time round even our 2nd string should get something, they were awful.

    Celtic would be a cracking tie if it happens.

    Why? We're supposed to be hoping for a draw that we can win, not a draw against a good opponent.

    No, but I will say he is 1 of the most overrated players in world football. Possibly because he has a mint name?

    List has been updated as of tonight's Champions League games. Not gonna lie, it's a slight buzz that the Champions League is affecting us in some way!

    I'd love to see us smash them!

    We seem to play better against decent teams, and i still think we could beat them.

    Plus they've got Hulk and i want to see him take on Santon! :p
