wouldnt mind CSKA, see if i could persuade Anny Road, Will and Jonesy to do Sofia Revisited.

[Billy Talbot]

I want PSG.

 

Maybe Dortmund but then that might be quite a hard group.

 

Pot 4 has very little for me.

May well do another Euro away based on that.

I had resigned at the beginning of last season, but a recall may well be needed

[Red Kent]

Would be nice to see Sami back

[John am Rhein]

F*cking Bruges

[Davvo]

PSG, Red Bull and Gent. No particularly long trips, and good chances to rest a few if necessary.

 

Interesting when you look at the quality of the teams in each pot, it is almost like being exactly one step worse than the CL.

 

With a couple of notable exceptions, Pot 1 is like 2 in the CL. Pot 2 is like 3 in the CL, 3 is like CL4, 4 is full of teams who should consider themselves lucky to still be in Europe at all, after the Qualifiers.

 

If we avoid the couple of notable exceptions, it's like getting a CL group with no other seeded team in it.

Live near Lausanne - in the second division in Switzerland - so would love to get them.

 

Also hoping that BATE Borisov and Young Boys get in the same group and that the Swiss side win, thus prompting a "Young Boys master BATE" headline.

[Gomez]

Don't want Young Boys and their plastic pitch

[Mike]

this is a fantastic set of away trips if if falls sweetly.

 

i want psg, prague and vienna.

 

get on board culture vultures

[Boca]

Who have we got at the draw? Cecil? Looking forward to his views afterwards.

[smithdown]

Palermo would be a good un

[Gomez]

I want as many sh*t sides as possible.

 

I want us to progress in this comp whilst playing as few of the 1st teamers as possible

[RedMersey]

All sides not in the pot one are sh*t sides, tbh.

[whitewidow]

Yeah, that Man City are s***....

[Gomez]

All sides not in the pot one are sh*t sides, tbh.

 

Probably, but I'd like the 3 sh*ttest ones

[Boca]

City and Juve in same group

[MarkD]
