Champions League Draw

[Thynker]

I predict Bayern, PSV, Sociedad

[Perryashburtongroves]

Barcefuckinglona as we always had them at some stage, Red Star Belgrade and Royal Antwerp

[Gunner Rob]

The last CL draw then - if we get back in next year it will be a 36 team league instead of the group stage.

Ideal group

Feyenoord
Arsenal
Copenhagen
Young boys


Nightmare group


Bayern
Arsenal
Inter Milan
Galatasaray



It has to be written in the stars that we definitely will be in same qroup as Munich

[Andrew]

Pot 2: Real Madrid, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, RB Leipzig, Porto, Arsenal

So none of them. I think.

[Midz]

Don't care who we get. We'll most likely scrabble through the group stage finishing second and then go out to whoever we get in the knock out stage. All done by Feb 24.

I'd prefer we win it but am being realistic.

Will be a disaster

What time is the Draw? I've seen 2 separate times 5pm and 6pm???

[mcdowell42]

Think it's supposed to be 5pm but by time they get all the talking crap out of the way it could easily be 6pm

Wait, what? Is this true?

And likely to be 5x English sides automatically.

It is Rodders, they're apparently getting rid of all the individual group stages and making it 1 big group stage ,and by doing this it is also quite possible that 5th place in the PL will also get you a spot in the new CL

Just had a read through it, 36 team league, each team plays 8 games, 4 home, 4 away - against 8 different teams I think? Top 8 automatically qualify for the knockout stages and the teams that finished 9th-24th go into a 2 legged play off to see if they progress, so basically everyone else bar the absolute dross.

Sounds great

Cheers McD - I'd foolishly forgotten about all the endless waffle & bollox at the beginning and the Bimbo's they hire to try and make the place look interesting.

Can we get Olympiacos
