Bring em on...

So its Chelsea. A waste as I'd rather play a foreign side, but it will be sweet beating them again.

 

Anderlecht might be a nice little away trip. Quite fancy that.

 

Hope we get Thun as the other team, just because their name rules.

[Bamo]

Anderlecht it is then David

No thun thnaks, too many Basle memories

It looks like Arse and the Mancs get the usual bye to the knock outs.

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Arsenal will still make hard work of it though.

[Lisa]

I am totally pissed off, it is a fix. I hate Chelsea and it is bad enough playing them twice in a season, never mind 4 times! The whole point of Europe is playing different teams.

[dave u]

Thats a twat of a group we have to be fair.

 

Still, at least Rashid will get his wish of Joaquin playing at Anfield this season ;-)

[Brownie]

That is the toughest group possible. I was sitting here in work saying 'dont be Betis, dont be Betis', they are all laughing at me now!

[Rashid]

Oh Dear, this is a difficult group to be honest. Betis are not shit. Every game will be a 6 pointer. Still we can compare Joaquin with Stelios first hand ;-)

I think we all felt that way, but im sure we can split it with Chelsea and having seen how, erm, unlucky ? the Bitters were against Villareal, Im not too worried about Betis. Betis, Deportivo, we'll do em !

[Guest LicK]

Can anyone explain why Panathinaikos couldn't go into our group? Looked a little dodgy to me, with no explanation offered. Pig of a group...

Not sure but presume Olympiakos were in one of the last 4 groups so they have to put em on different nights for tv.

[WeAreTheBest]

Why couldnt we get Panathinaikos in our group? Anyone know?

[WeAreTheBest]

Olympiakos werent even out then though.

[aws]

Not sure about Anderlecht being the toughest of the third seeds but I reckon we drew the short straw with the the other two.Just how do the Mancs and the Arse do it year after year?

[James H]

Olympiakos werent even out then though.

 

Oh right, FIX FIX FIX then!

[al daas]

Why worry, watch it again,now on eurosport, yes now.

[dave u]

Tell you waht, thats a fucked up way of doing things. We can't get Panathanaikos because they cant play on the same night as Olympiakos? Stupid way of doing things.

 

Betis away will be hard, but we'll beat them at home. We need to win home and away over Anderlecht, and then I'll take a draw at Chelsea and win at Anfield. Easy really!

[James H]

Lets not get too downhearted. We once qualified from a group featuring Barca, Roma & Galatasaray, this is a walk in the park compared to that.

Olympiakos hadnt been drawn out when Panathinaikos were out and they ruled them out of our group. Fucking weird.

[Paul]

Group of death!!! We certainly got the best sides in pots 2 & 4. What are Anderlecht like? Also starting and ending the group away is a bit shit. IFHC at Anfield for the last game would've been nice, rather than going to their gaff.

[Bob]

do we know any dates for the games, chelsea home especially. im on hols end of sept beginning of oct, and i might have to cancel if it clashes.

[aws]

We did a deal with UEFA - give us the toughest draw you can but please don't Biscanate us.
