We had 5 seasons of being put in ridiculously tough groups. Didn’t we get Barca for 3 out of the first 4? The last few have been karma. Personally I’d rather we had at least one good test, a Napoli or Leverkusen just to sharpen our swords for the later rounds.

LMFAO already sent it around the interwebbything


I've spent quite some time trying to find that picture of the rag mongs taking the piss with their "Thursday football" banners back in the day.
All copies of the picture seem to have been taken down.
So maybe it didn't happen!


This one has aged well though...

Personally I think we could have had an easier pot 4. Atalanta may not have been in this for 30 years but they did finish third in Italy I think

I was in the car yesterday listening to the draw and the general opinion was that Atalanta were the strongest team in pot 4 and were very good last season.

Still, musn't grumble.

We'll still be screwed in the latter stages anyway.
