Pretty crazy achievement for a Moldovan side to get to the Group Stage. Here’s to them being in our group and receiving a couple of 8-0 batterings.

173

Nah; 1-0 will do.

We can batter the other two teams in the group.

Or will we be in the dreaded Group of Death.

There is always a Group of Death headline right. So make it Bayern, Milan and Ajax or a long trip across Europe.

We will be OK whoever we draw.

182

Not really arsed who we draw, just hope the lads don’t have to travel to the asshole of Eastern Europe.

183

I think rather than predicting a favourable draw for us (historically doesn’t work well iirc), we should predict the absolute worst draws for MC, MU, CH

Anyone stronger than Melchester Rovers, St Winifred’s School Choir and the cast of One Foot In The Grave would be a start.

Great minds, I was looking at the pots and thinking the exact same combo. :rofl:
I wouldn’t mind Sporting from Pot 1 either.

That’s normally City’s draw in whatever cup competition they play.

I always want us to get a decent team

So I’ll take

  1. Bayern / Inter / Atletico
  2. Benfica / Salzburg
  3. Young boys or Malmo
192

The flip side of course is that we can play the big boys in the knock outs.

So maybe a more favourable draw

Sporting
Salzburg
AC Milan (just to have a name in our group)
