[MomoWASright]

Destroying Barcelona would be fun.

 

[Hansern]

We'll get Atletico and Suarez

 

[Hansern]

All the teams to pot 4 arent ready yet either, still some games to be played today and tomorrow.

 

[Woland]

All the other English teams are in pot 2. So someone is getting a paddlin off Munich

 

[LeTallecWiz]

i want athletico - we owe those fuckers a pasting.

 

[Silver Sean]

How the fuck are United in pot 2? They’re garbage and done what exactly?

Consistent the last few years in the 2nd rung of European competition. So there's some validity

It's pretty shit though that you get a better coefficient from doing well in the 2nd Tier than say, for example, making the Last 8/16 of the CL. Ditto making a CL final and not being guaranteed a slot the following year while winning the B cup does.

I understand it. They're trying to bump up Europa to be relevant.

 

[Shadey]

Is this home and away or neutral?

It's the normal home/away format. Unless/until covid forces a change at some point.

The draw is also 4pm, not 11am as per thread title.

No thanks.

I never want to play A.Madrid or Napoli ever again.

It's 11am in New York. Or something. Thanks

 

[SummerOnions]

Would love the easiest draw but really just avoiding the plucky sides in pot 2 and 3 and it's chill. No Atlanta etc and avoid Barce/City and we can coast it

 

[Halmeister]

Something tells me we will definitely avoid City. Call it a hunch.

 

[MomoWASright]

We will twat everyone. Or it’ll be called off cos of COVID.

We can get a group with teams from our own country can't we??

 

[MomoWASright]

I thought I was a muppet

 

[SummerOnions]

I thought I was a muppet

Happy to help.

But we defo had Chelsea in our group once under Rafa I remember that. When did it change?

That was in 05 when we got in by the back door AS CHAMPIONS and were nationless. Not like it mattered because Collina seen that the shite didn’t get through.

 

[King Binny]

Good thing Man City and Shakhtar Donetsk are in the same pot, else they'll almost certainly be drawn in the same group again

Hopefully, we'll avoid Atalanta. They have started the season the way they ended the last. Just whacked Lazio 4-1 yesterday.

 

[RedStar]

How the fuck are Zenit in pot 1, and Porto? They are both shite.

 

[King Binny]

How the fuck are Zenit in pot 1, and Porto? They are both shite.

"Pot one consists of the holders (Bayern Munich), the Europa League winners (Sevilla) and the champions of the nations ranked highest by Uefa who have not earned a place by winning either of those tournaments. Pots two to four are are determined by the club coefficient rankings."

 

[Frogfish]

UEFA kowtowing. Utter idiots.

I'm not sure we should be scared of Atalanta. You do know we're the greatest team in the world right?

 

[Silver Sean]

So gutting not to be able to go to any of these

 

[reuque]

Normally would prefer the lesser teams but with COVID, I think the preference would be based on distance of travel and avoidance of hotspot locations. Fuck knows which teams those would be because we'd twat em all anyway.

 

[Hyena]

You just know we're going to face Athletico at some point, and probably get bitten.
