[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

You couldn't even beat Newcastle

And here is the reality.

You come on here pretending to be making some kind of intelligent point about our finances, when in reality you are just another typical jealous wanker, who is purely here trying to be clever, but just like the rest, you are not clever, nor amusing.

You are just worried.

LOL how on earth did they come up with those percentages.......

LOL how on earth did they come up with those percentages.......

This branch of math called Probablity and statistics. outlandish I know. They just took into account all the teams who can't draw one another. Like for city it's chelsea and bayren, thus making It more likely for other teams to draw them instead. I don't know if that figure is correct but you can determine the odds if you are good at prob stat and have the time.

Did they factor in the probable chance that if we beat one of the elite clubs, as it would mean that club's revenue would decrease?

Laugh it up.......we're coming to get ye.

Porto nailed on. For once we'll get some luck.

[Goaters 103]

Ideally Monaco or Porto, but we'll prob get Real or Barca due to Platini's hot ball/cold ball draw.

That said we are playing with the house money now anyway so stuff it; we get who we get, and lets enjoy it as its a bonus given how hopeless it looked a month ago. Best of all - no Europa League, yaaaaay.

Thank Christ for that! Al-in-all, it's turned out to be a great week.

I'm with you on this one Goaters. I don't care who we get. If the current form trajectory continues into Feb and with all our stars fit, I'm afraid of no one !!

I think we have an excellent opportunity now to visit Angela in her nice little 'Pad' on the river Spree for lunch and a chat sometime around the end of May 2015.

We could also do them a favour and send a team to the fabulous Olympic Stadium for a game of footy too. 'Jumpers for goalposts' and all that.

Looks as though Mr. Blobby is back.

After his last, highly perceptive and thought provoking post, didn't think he'd return to this Forum.

Perhaps he should quit whilst he's behind.

Heres the Dailymail take on the Champions League draw:

As previously posted, we are most likely to get drawn against Dortmund.

Just checked, and they're accurate (unless I'm making the same errors the original calculators did).

Interesting that two German teams finished top, and two second. Had it been 3 and 1 (either way), a fair few percentages would have changed considerably...

[patrickblue]

So how do they physically do the draw? Do they have all the balls in two pots and redraw one or both if it's invalid (City/Chelsea or Bayern for example)?
Or are they kept separate in some cunning UEFA way?

[AntMcfc]

We're gonna get Dortmund and we are going to get pressed off the park. I'd rather face Atleti than Dortmund, but ideally it'll be Monaco or Porto.

[Renato_CTID]

I hope AS Monaco, but I'll bet for Real because UEFA is a sort of mafia!
