Why could Liverpool not end up in Group D there?

Also, that's a bitch of a draw for Spurs.

Presumably because one of the other teams still to be drawn had to go into group D.

I was píssed off seeing United's draw but considering we're in Pot 3 that's a lovely draw.

All depends on who they are paired with for TV by BT. Paired teams have to be in other end of the draws so they don't play on the same nights

Russia will be hopefully the 1st game get that out of the way

Chelsea's group look fun.

United poxy draw as per. I was convinced we'd get a rotten group but I have to say, I'll take Sevilla and Moscow all day.

super_furry

Celtic could get out of Group A - very soft altogether. Group G not looking too bad for them either.

SlickRic

Neither Utd or Liverpool fans can moan about either side's draw after that.

Unite and just laugh at poor Spurs.

Osmosis Jones

Napoli vs City should make for some great games

Rekop dog

If Leipzig go in with Real Dortmund and Spurs that will probably be the toughest group I've ever seen.

Who did the gunners get

Sam Hain

Premier league champions get immensely harder draw than team that finished 6th but then again United always seem to get a nice easy group in the champions league.

Second group of teams was the one to be in

shamrock55

That and the pedigree in the CL since it's creation.

Really good draws for Liverpool and United. Spurs got shafted, City should have enough to go through and Chelsea should walk their there group. Celtic are goosed.

Harry Palmr

Groups F and H are just horrors

The Russians ultras will be using it a training for the World Cup fans of either club will be warned to stay well away from there.

You're going to dismiss Atleti and Roma that easily?

Rekop dog

Poor City rarely get a handy group do they. Three tough ties there, all beatable but will need to be on it every game night.

Shanotheslayer

Munich/PSG
Chelsea/Atleti
Liverpool/Sevilla
City/Napoli
Monaco/Porto(?)
Madrid/Dortmund

Most of them pretty easy to predict imo. That's in no order of 1st/2nd.

irishguitarlad

United got some easy group, they could field there B team and still piss it.

If that's the case, how do Shakhtar constantly get into Pot 1. I don't remember them ever doing anything of note in the CL. Is the Ukranian league (and the winning of it) more credible than, say, the Dutch or Belgian leagues?

Osmosis Jones

The London clubs might regret mocking Arsenal for being in the Europa League now

Yawns

Only Spurs can feel hard done by with those groups. Others can have no complaints really.

Other than the top seeds (national champions) everyone else is seeded on their UEFA coefficient and quite simply, Utd have enough points in the bag to claim a second seed spot.

Napoli the toughest team they could have got in pot 3 and Feyenoord one of the better teams in last pot.

If it’s the Chelsea of last season, they’ll get out of that group with ease. They’ll out-bastard Athletico and they’re a better side than Roma.

Jayop

Happy with that draw really. CSKA on a plastic pitch (iirc) in the middle of the winter is a prick though

Isn't it ranked on how often you have been in the CL and how far the teams gets each time it's in it

Others as in every other team in the competition?
