Juve

Barca

Us

RB Leipzig

 

Nailed on.

 

Would actually hope for

Benfica

Sevilla

Us

Celtic

 

All decent trips and we'd probably win that group.

[Grinch]

Spartak, Barca and Celtic please.

 

Need a good draw from pot one. Two is going to be a very good side.

[Ne Moe Imya]

So, best case scenario would be a group like:

 

Spartak

Porto

Us

Qarabag

 

and a worst case scenario would be:

 

Real Madrid

PSG

Us

Leipzig

 

Big, big difference in those two, seems luck of the draw might play a bit bigger role than usual this season.

[Einch]

That second group looks really good. Hope we avoid it.

[Lee909]

Real

PSG

Liverpool

Leipzig

 

Benfica

Utd

Olympiakos

Qarabag

 

 

nailed on

[BCM]

We will get a twat of a draw....... United will get a piss easy draw.............. Its just how Martin Edwards works...

[Thoth]

Knowing our luck we will get Real, PSG and CSKA

[Aventus]

Bit of dortmund and celtic, we can have a big YNWA-off

[Kevin D]

Think the team does deserve a good amount of credit, smoking Hoffenheim and out hustling Arsenal down the stretch.

[Moctezuma]

So, best case scenario would be a group like:

 

Spartak

Porto

Us

Qarabag

 

and a worst case scenario would be:

 

Real Madrid

PSG

Us

Leipzig

 

Big, big difference in those two, seems luck of the draw might play a bit bigger role than usual this season.

 

Though that ideal group would involve an inordinate amount of travel.

[Aventus]

Though that ideal group would involve an inordinate amount of travel.

Good point, we have some tough prem games between the champions league matches.

[SlugTrail]

Benfica

Seville

Us

Celtic.

[Oh Buoy]

Real, PSG, us and those Red Bellends.

 

Can't see it any other way. 

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

How the flying fuck are Benfica, Moscow or Donetsk in pot 1? Sounds legit.

 

Any of those 3, ideally Benfica because of travel.

[Turkish Delight]

How the flying fuck are Benfica, Moscow or Donetsk in pot 1? Sounds legit.

 

Any of those 3, ideally Benfica because of travel.

Only champions can be in Pot 1.

League winners from seeded countries I believe.

[an tha]

Only champions can be in Pot 1.

One of the fee decisions in recent years the likes if uefa have got right.

 

Was an absolute joke when Man City were in as champions of england in the erm you know champions league and were in a lower pot than Arsenal.

[Hades]

Hope we get beat. (Real, PSG, Leipzig)

[Guest]

Tony Moanero's hopes of us being relegated could become a reality.

[Joe Strummer]

If there's any justice after the joke run they had in the Europa last season, United will get any group of death.

 

I want us to get Sevilla.

[Jairzinho]

I want us to get Sevilla.

Me too, although for slightly more selfish reasons.

[Thoth]

Well if the same people who drew the Caribauobaoioiio cup or whatever its called are involved Utd, City and Chelsea will get the shit teams and we will get PSG, Real et al

[El Rojo]

We'll do well in this under Klopp. Similar to Benitez, I reckon he'll have more answers in this arena.

[Bjornebye]

Want

 

Benfica

Porto

Feyenoord / Sporting (either would be easy - be nice to see Dirk back)

 

Avoid

 

Bayern

PSG

Celtic (Not because I think they are the strongest in pot 4 but because I hate when we play each other unless its a friendly) 

 

Nailed on it will be

 

Juventus

Atletico

Celtic
