2017/18 Champions League Group Draw/Discussion

[Chip Butty]

Spartak away in September is as good as a time as you could want to play them considering.  

 

Saville (nee Jimmy) away in November should be only slightly chilly on the willy

[Rorschach08]

I've just told my window cleaner it was Maribor away last and he was planning on going. He's going to think I'm a right soft ollies next time he comes for his money.

Just tell him you believed a stranger named after a comic book character on the internet.

 

He'll understand completely

We are playing in Moscow the night after United I think? That should br fun!

[Jairzinho]

About as easy a group as possible and I can go the Sevilla game. Fucking ace.

I was thinking about you when we got put in the same group as Sevilla, made up for you mate.

[Brownie]

I've booked up for Sevilla (a) so will be on the bum for tickets!

Cheers, mate.

Also, wasn't our whole thing last season about how good we were going to be in the Champions League because we were so much better against the good teams?

 

Maybe we shouldn't be celebrating a weak group!

Did really well in 2015, too. Very difficult path to that Uefa cup final, and I thought we were much the better team in everyone of our games.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Do Maribor home and away the other two at home 12+ points, welcome to the knockout rounds.

[G Richards]

Just catching up with this. Looks like a very good draw for us. Mind you, we usually do well against the big boys and struggle against teams we should beat. 

 

You would have to expect the 'weaker' sides to at least be very well organized so if we assume we're through we will come a cropper. We will have to turn up, but I fancy us to get to the last sixteen and then anything can happen. 

[Hades]

There's a smell in the air. Hopefully Real and PSG draw each other in the quarters because I wouldn't write us off against any other team.

[PestiRed]

Excellent, 3 hour drive to Maribor so might actually be able to go

Tbf, the champions league is a bit different from the league.  These teams can't just go full ale house and play for the draw.   They need to take chances some time and leave the space in behind.

 

Over the moon with that draw.  Especially since it came down to a 50/50 shot of having this or Spurs group.

[Barnesey]

I believe we got the lowest ranked team in Pot 1, the second lowest in Pot 2 and the lowest in Pot 4. Not sure why my sweetener let us down re Pot 2

[lifetime fan]

Bar travelling to Moscow that's a piss easy group.
