There's a strong possibility of more than one group of death this time around. We will obviously be in one, Dortmund could well be in the other. We are bound to get Napoli, and either Juventus or Milan (former players up against us) - not sure about pot one though.
Edit: just realised we can't draw Napoli if Milan or Juventus are in the group, same nation and all that - so I think they will draw us against PSG from pot 2.

Napoli could qualify from any group and Celitc would probably beat us at Parkhead. Having watched many useless away performances against inferior teams who are massively up for the game I would not fancy going there at all.

Think of it positively. IF we do well for 3-4 years and break the glass ceiling, we will be in the situation Arsenal are in, meaning being in POT 1 and utilizing it to get easier groups like Arse and Rags do.

Of course, Uefa would change the rules if we start benefiting from it!

Regularly getting out of the group stages would help our seeding immensely, since we would have to win matches to do it.

We will be getting a hard group, its obvious. As ive said every year, with the squad we have we shouldnt be fearing anyone.

On a side note, this place seems to be turning more into BM by the day... 'You rag'... 'You cock'

Fucking hell, grow up.

No we wouldn't, sadly.

That's the nub of it. If you genuinely fancied City to go up to the Piggery and win you are kidding yourself based on our away performances, and the exact reason Ross has outlined. When we go away to places where the grounds full and the other supposed inferior team is up for it, we wilt. There was a recent example in Wales that should jog your memory.

Celtic last season beat Barcelona and thoroughly deserved to aswell that night.
We shouldn't be taking anyone for granted especially in this competition.

Please let's not make this take half hour of bullshit before the actual draw begins.
