    Got the feeling we will be in the same group as Barca. Silver lining is that we won't get them in the last 16 SHOULD we get out of the groups.

    At this point in time I think I would rather avoid Bayern and PSG.

    Only teams you want to avoid are Bayern and Barca, anyone else is fair game...

    I reckon pot 2 is tougher than pot 1 so let's hope Chelsea get a really tough draw like Madrid, CSKA & Wolfsburg. Not that tough to be honest, I don't see too many really tough teams in pots 3 & 4...

    I'd just as soon we test ourselves against Bayern or Barca.

    I see no need to avoid them, we've got to get used to competing at this level again.

    I agree with that, you're in it to have big games so enjoy them if they come along other than looking to avoid them.

    Shame that Brenda didn't think like that and went hiding like a coward when he had to face Real <whistle>

    I disagree, he thought he could smash them with our reserve team that's why he played it that way. <whistle>

    I think he really could have thought that. That's how far from reality our Brenda is.

    Barcelona and two other's. The harder the games the better. We are great against the top sides.

    There is something in that.

    I think LVG's teams tend to be a match for most top teams. Unlike Moyes's teams, I agree with LVG that the other big teams will dread being drawn with United.

    Irrespective of who we get, I'd be disappointed if we didn't get out of the group stages. Even with our current squad.
