Watching ET Shakhtar Monaco, Monaco on brink of going out, Shakhtars equalizer on the night was a freakish goal….the guy tried to cut it back and it deflected off the defender and looped over Nubel. So so cruel.

We’ll qualify from any group because we are winning it.

Honestly don’t see much difference in quality in all the sides in pot 3

Are Ajax really any stronger than a Porto Leipzig or Atalanta?

For me it doesn’t matter who we draw from that lot, just want to avoid 2 teams…Bayern and Milan

 

[binomial]

Actually fuck Atleti too, nasty horrible side. Absolute cunts and a cunt of a manager to boot.

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Why are Villarreal in pot 1? Surely the uefa cup winners don't go in there. Pot1 is made of league winners and holders.

I'd say they are better than Porto or Atalanta yeah. However, you can't have Bayern and Leipzig in the same group.

Don’t agree with it myself but they have done, Sevilla been pot 1 every time they won it bar the first Inthink which is when it was first introduced that EL winners were guaranteed CL group spot.

Why does Milan bother you? Do you mean Inter?
