Champions League 15/16

[Great8]

Have a funny feeling we will get PSV

Bingo

 

[Great8]

Sooo typical... utd and Chelsea getting easy group whilst Arsenal and City cops it ( especially City)

Got to look after the clubs that actually perform in Europe. Wouldnt matter what group Arsenal get, they fly through the group stage every year only to get embarassed when it matters

group g: Chelsea,porto,dynamo,maccabi

Great stuff, happy with our draw.

Great stuff, happy with our draw.

Wont drop a point in that group

 

[pantskyle]

Fairly happy with our draw, City hurry up and sign KDB.

We should get at least 10 points.

 

[elhadjihenry]

Pretty happy with ours too. Won't win it but good to have a strong team in the group to take points off the weaker ones, should get second.

At least now we can't get Bayern in the first knockout stage!

 

[Cruyff14]

I think the trip to Croatia will take a bit out of us.

Not the worst draw, but it's not the easiest.

I think United have a tough group.

 

[chef]

Wont drop a point in that group

Points will be dropped, they always are.

Hopefully we can get it wrapped up early so we can rotate and give as many of the squad a taste.

 

[GreekLunatic]

as an olympiakos supporter we always get arsenal at home on the last day of cl . Also at home this year we beat both Athetico Madrid and Juve. So at home we aint push overs saying that we will lose at home to Bayern

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Chelsea will be rightly mocked if they don't advance.

messi seriously cr7 had the better individual year

Don't call him that

 

[Flameboy]

Straight forward?
Other than Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Arsenal, I don't feel any one is through just yet.

You love not rating Chelsea, don't you.

Must have killed you to see us run away with the league last season.

 

[kaiserchief13]

City again group of death

Chelsea will be rightly mocked if they don't advance.

As per every season.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Good stuff. Porto are no pushovers, and will present a decent challenge. The trips to the far east (Kiev and Tel Aviv) present a challenge in their own way.

But overall I have no trouble seeing us navigate our way out of the group.

The way I see it:
MD 1 v Tel Aviv (H) 3 pts
MD 2 v FC Porto (A) 1 pt
Md 3 v Dynamo Kiev (A) 1 pt
MD 4 v Dynamo Kiev (H) 3 pts
MD 5 v Tel Aviv (A) 3 pts
MD 6 v FC Porto (H) 3 pts

Giving us a total of 14 points which should see us through.

Chelsea doesn't have the easiest group tbh. Chuck Wolfsburg or 'Gladbach in as the Pot 4 team and it's actually a potentially tough group. Would still expect Chelsea to advance and top the group but Porto and Kyiv aren't exactly mugs.. Porto arguably should've taken Bayern out last season after all.

 

[madman]

No excuses to try out a bit of youth Jose!!

I reckon there is a good chance that all England teams will advance through.

So because I acknowledge Portugal and Ukraine as tough countries to travel to (look at how teams go there) it means I don't rate Chelsea?
I have you advancing ffs! All I ******* said is that it wont be a walk in the park. It was acknowledging the fact the other teams were decent. Despite the way BigFooty thinks at times, there is decent football outside of Real Madrid, Barca, PSG, Bayern Munich and England!

And didn't I predict Chelsea to win the ****ing league in the pre-season predictions?

Oh, but I guess I don't rate Chelsea.....

 

[FAITH]

if cfc don't make semis mou will be off

 

[kaiserchief13]

Needed to be 10-0

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Needed to be 10-0

Was one of the most devastating performances I've seen at that level. Particularly as Bayern were shorthanded.

 

[chef]

Quite the obsession you've got brewing.

just my opinion

I find it ridiculous that you can have Arsenal as a certainty to go through when they've been drawn with Bayern, and not Chelsea.

You'd back Bayern to beat Arsenal both home and away which means they must win at least three of their other four games. That to me looks a much tougher equation than what Chelsea are faced with.
