    I think the teams from the other pots will not fear us when we go to their ground, but the Emirates has become a fortress in Europe. Since Inter, all the back in 2003, no European team has beaten us at our place. That's some record when you think about the all the the European giants that have come and played us here.

    You did say we will get AC Milan in the last 16 last time around, so you could well be correct and let's hope so. :)

    Yea, United have always gotten easier groups than us. Time for a change.

    TBF the time is now we are not a team anyone wants in their group but we are below the likes of UTD, Chelsea, Real, Bayern, Barca in terms of fear factor

    Good point! Probably between Bayern and Chelsea.

    That is true, but all the other clubs know they have to face 1 from Pot 1 and my point is that Arsenal are a good outcome for them. Not saying they'd expect to beat you, but better than it could have been.

    I'd like to have Dortmund in the group again. They will definitely perform better with the experience of last year, could offer 2 really good games... (and I like the atmosphere in their stadium)

    I think the sweet spot is having a group where it's not too much of a challenge to qualify but still challenging enough for the team to take it very seriously.
