Group stage

[Zlate]

Can see us getting Barca and RB L and then Juventus to top it all off

 

[KopRed]

Worst case:

Bayern
Barca
Us
[Whatever]

This. Since we are going to win it we might as well knock a big gun out in the group stage.

 

[KopRed]

Wondering if a group of death will entice VVD to come and Coutinho to stay? Surely players live to play in moments like this.

 

[Der Alte]

Unlucky indeed:

Pot 1 for the group-stage draw is made up by the holders (Real Madrid) as well as the champions of the top seven national associations (according to Uefa coefficient rankings at the end of the 2015-16 campaign).


What are the chances of us getting both Barca and RB...

1,5%

 

[Frogfish]

Barca
RB Leipzig
Southampton

 

[reuque]

I just want us to draw RB Leipzig. Scenes when we arrive at the Redbull Arena and announce we're there to free the villagers.

 

[Insignificance]

I thought we were out of this due to United won the UEFA League. Is Our place finally confirmed now?

 

[Athens]

Not yet, if we get pulled out of the pot last then we're in the Europa league.

 

[Hyena]

Worst case:

Bayern
Barca
Us
[Whatever]

You means BEST case.

We come not to play fucking Sevilla.*
We come to humiliate the likes of Barca, Bayern and RB Leipzig and then pillage Messi while we're there.**


*(plus, we'd probably lose to Sevilla anyway)

**if we're going to lose we might as well play some big games before bowing out

 

[rurikbird]

OK, I want:

1. Shakhtar – so I can finally watch LFC play against a Ukrainian team (and we avoid stronger teams in pot 1).
2. Barcelona – they are not the force they once were on the pitch, but still the biggest name and would be the biggest scalp if we win. It's on, bitches!
3. ...
4. Rodgers reunion.

 

[Rosco]

I like how United are described as 'defending UEL Champions'

It sounds like UEFA know they'll end up back in Europa league

 

[Mystic]

I honestly couldn't care, all I want from this champions league run is some big European Nights, and as a club we seem to thrive on facing the impossible. Fuck it, I just want to hear the Kop going fucking ballistic.

Why do people across the water insist upon using a comma there. Stop doing it.

 

[tombrown]

It's wrong anyway - the fact that Pot 2 includes two English teams who we can't be drawn against, actually increases the chances to 2.083%

 

[Holle]

Because it's correct.

Like driving on the right.

 

[doctor_mac]

I want Barca. I want to fuck them royally.

 

[keniget]

I want the worst team in each pot.

All you wanting Bayern, Barca and the like are mad. Exciting games, sure, but our defence is horrific and visions of what happened at Hoffenheim away against a more clinical / better side are fairly terrifying.

 

[Zlate]

If we draw RB Leipzig, will Keita play the 1st half for them and change to our kit for the 2nd half?

 

[dantes]

Because it's correct.

No, it's not like mom/mum or color/colour which are petty differences with no right answer. This isn't petty, it's dangerous. One day some poor cunt is going to drink a 46% bottle of red, or some other cunt who gets sick of correcting everything to put it into excel is going to snap and wipe out everyone in the office.

 

[The Nomad]

Because it's correct.

Like driving on the right.

It is not correct. I hate reading numbers like 1.000.100,95

Theres only one point bitches. And i hate having to convert it to UK format in excel.

Accountant moan over.

Yeah. Such a horrific team as our's doesn't belong in the CL... and we should avoid playing good teams in the future also. If only those cunts in Manchester's win in the Euro League counted for something we could have played there instead. Lucky Arsenal that probably meet some proper shit teams. They really should be happy about it.....

Duh, lazy mistake.

Have you come off your pills in the past week or two?

 

[Insignificance]

Have you come off your pills in the past week or two?

Be aware.. How you know anything about the pills?.

 

[Rosco]

Be aware.. How you know anything about the pills?.

I think we all noticed

European nights are the fucking best.

Finish work at 4pm, straight the boozer, 6 or 7 pints then in the ground early for a sing. If we get a couple of big teams then the place will be rocking. I cant fucking wait, feels like so long since we were last there.

On a purely selfish note, please let our first game be away. I'm going to Portugal for a few days on 13 September so would miss the first game if its at home. Guaranteed its gonna be Barca at home or some fucker like that.

Will you still be in Portugal on the 17th ?

Fly home 17th Evening mate. Are you there that day?

.

Games start at 1:45pm here. When possible i clear my schedule, ditch work and head to the boozer for a couple with some other supporters. I've missed being in the Champions League; no one bothers to ditch work for the Europa and I just stream the games at work. Excited to play hooky more this season.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Doesn't matter who we get, we'all coast through the group stage
