You thought the Man Utd 5-0 one was hilarious too. It's not quite 10 years yet so I think you still need to be reminded - it stays.

ok, no worries. I enjoyed the Keegan days (except when they beat Spurs).

ok, now I'm back on topic.....;)

I wonder who'll join the UEFA Cup from the Champions League groups....:eek:

Current standings

From that, and judging on form/expected results:

Group A - Werder Bremen (possibly Barca, if they fail to beat Bremen at Nou Camp)

Group B - Sporting Lisbon (possibly Spartak Moscow, if they beat Sporting in Lisbon)

Group C - Bordeaux (definitely)

Group D - Shaktar Donetsk (but could be Roma if Shaktar win and Roma lose to Valencia, or Olympiacos if they beat Shaktar)

Group E - Steaua Bucuresti

Group F - Benfica (possibly ManYoo if they lose at home to Benfica, Copenhagen cannot catch Benfica by viryue of their head to head)

Group G - Horrible one to call...if Porto beat Goons in Portugal and Moscow beat Hamburg as expected, Goons finish 3rd...:eek: I'll go out on a limb and say it will be Porto in 3rd place though, failing to win against the Goons.

Group H - Definitely not Milan anyway! Anderlecht could finish 3rd if they beat 2nd place AEK and Lille lose to Milan, but more likely to be one of AEK/Lille.

Dropouts confirmed:

Bremen
Spartak Moscow
Bordeaux
Shaktar Donetsk
Steuea Bucaresti
Benfica
CSKA Moscow
AEK Athens

Bremen the "dangerous" side of those 8, but a couple of inhospitable places to visit in a cold February.

The Russian teams are never easy on home soil .... but all in all it could have been alot worse, and aslong as we finish top of our group then we won't have to play them yet
