Champions League Group Stage Draw

[Squiggles]

.

Repeat of this please.

 

[Oncy]

Im just glad we didnt get a really tough group to avoid crybabies bleating on about how other teams always get easy groups.

What is Maribor?

I've seen them in the CL a few times, since Ukrainian teams were drawn against them. Defensive, niggly fouls, trying to disrupt the flow of the opponents' game, usually had 1-2 decent technical players in the team. Not a pleasant opponent, hard to blow them away, just need to grind out a win.

I watched most of the 2-2 away goal 'win' against Ha'Poel Be'er Sheva.
They were pretty average - no real dangers attacking but well organized.
We really should be taking 6 points from them ...

 

[manwithnoname]

Happy with that

This. It kills me, the whining about draws.

Yeah, but I'm more annoyed by cunts saying things like:

'I hope we get Barcelona/ Real/ Bayern - that's what big Anfield nights are all about!'

Fucking starry-eyed, day-tripper bell-ends

Avoid the best teams so you have the best chance of progressing.

The only reason for playing football is to win, not you buying a half and half scarf or tweeting about Messi playing at Anfield.

What is Maribor?

A proper shithole

 

[jan]

Can't wait to go to the game though

 

[Dreambeliever]

Excellent draw and a real chance to top the group and get a better draw in the last 16.

It could be a real shock for Europe to see a fourth placed English side make it past the last 16

I'm definitely saving my money for the big games later on

100% this.
Id happily face none of the 'Big' teams and win the fucker beating Anderlecht in the final.
And in years to come 'Oh liverpool had such an easy run that year'

Come and look in our fucking cabinet.

Do you want United, Chelsea, City in the FA cup? NOOOOOOO!!! Play the shitest team and win.

 

[LarryHagman]

Nice one. Piss easy group.

 

[Portly]

Piss easy group.

Famous last words.

 

[rurikbird]

I still would have liked Barcelona from 2nd pot - because I think we can beat them. Hope we meet those cunts in play-offs.

We're already through the play offs 😉

... think of the shock of seeing the fifth place English side get through...

 

[Insignificance]

... think of the shock of seeing the fifth place English side get through...

As "dominant" as the English clubs have been on CL I think they will be schocked seeing any English team get through..

 

[Red Astaire]

Great draw but as we all know it's never as easy as it looks on paper. Fucking lolz at Spurs 🙂

 

[King Binny]

On a side note, Europa League pots:

 

[Holle]

How fucking big a sourpuss is Le Tissier?

When being asked about our chances in our CL group he manages to talk about how Soton will hold firm on VVD.

 

[Insignificance]

Would gladly take Copenhagen, Everton and Østersund in Rosenborg Group. There is a few strong teams in pot 4 for some reason.

With some of those groups even winning the group may not mean avoiding Bayern, PSG, Barca or Juve. It'll just come down to luck of the draw.

 

[Glen C]

With our defending i'm not that confident of us getting through our group. Sevilla, as we know, are a very good side. Plus all it takes is a few crosses and we are flapping all over the place.

 

[Zlate]

Wrapped to see my countrymen get through! Vardar Skopje knocked out Fenerbache 4-1 on aggregate, hopefully they get Arsenal!

SPLITTER!

 

[Squiggles]

Liverpool fans, United fans and 2 sets of Russian fans are all going to be within 5 miles of each other at the same time in Moscow.

That doesn't sound particularly sensible.
