Champions League Group Stage Draw (28th August 2014 4:45 PM BST)

We have to top the group, otherwise it's pointless as we get knocked out of last 16 again.

Group A B F and G is piss easy for the top 2 teams, they will get through easily.

Group C and H is too evenly match, smells more like Europa League groups to me.

City got by far the hardest group, think they might struggle to get through if they ain't careful.

Yeah, I'm over fucking around and getting 2nd in our group. Was embarrassing last year that we didn't top the group after putting ourself in a great position too. Which in turn led to drawing Bayern....nuff said.

Its an average looking CL group to me. Though some of the groups this year look really weak.

Not topping a group like this would be a big failure. Wenger will probably find a way though.

City will get through.

Match Day two comes between games against Spurs and Chelsea. Galatasaray away wouldn't be ideal.[/quote]
Any away game sandwiched in between those two wouldn't be great, I think if it were Dortmund away that it would be worse than Gala actually.

Don't know why there's always a fuss about travel distance. Turkey is a 3 1/2 luxury first class flight away. Hardly a big deal.

marv3llous

We avoided Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, which is the bottom line here. Every other location is ok.

We finished 2nd in one of the easiest group we have ever been into, to Olympiakos 😆

So much for supporting your local side.

Realistically like 55/45 for us to win the group ahead of Dortmund. Not much between the two teams.

They're not my local side...

Trelleborg?

Klaus

Helsingborg.

Figure we can get by this Dortmund side, they aren't as strong as their 2012 vintage. Klopp has bought pretty well, but its hard to replace the quality of Lewandowski and Gotze on Dortmund's budget.

Galatarasay are alright but we don't deserve to be in the knock-out stages if we can't get past them.

Hopefully Liverpool and City can do us a favour if we top our group. Wouldn't fancy facing either Madrid or Bayern in the Round of 16

we should top this group barring any major fuck-ups. dortmund can be got at these days

Looch

I thought it was a difficult group at first but it's not all that bad. We should be beating Galatasaray and Anderlecht. If we can't then we don't deserve to top the group anyway. I reckon we're better than Dortmund as well.

typical CL group. just a formality for the top 2 seeds.

they should stop trying to pretend to support the lesser leagues and include more teams from the stronger leagues. it would make it less of a procession.

If seedings played no part in group draws then things would get interesting.
