Great minds. I think you want to avoid Galatasaray as well.

 

Napoli, Real Sociedad and Galatasaray. I think we should be capable of getting through any group we get but it wouldn't be inconceivable we went out of that.

Indeed. To be honest, given the defensive injuries we have, the totally abysmal performance on Monday and the failure to sign a right winger, I'm feeling way less confident about our prospects in this competition than I was a few weeks ago.

You and me both. Winger in and a 1-4 win Saturday would restore faith.

[Paninistickers]

The usual away following of grandmas might want to give it it skip if we draw Napoli, Marseille and Galatasaray or Warsaw!

Galatasaray and Turkish football aren't that good. It is no longer the year 2000.

[ealingfox]

Antwerp have knocked Omonia. Could someone knock up the final pots please?

Leverkusen

Leicester

Real Sociedad

Legia Warsaw

 

That would be tough

Only just realised they have added an extra round in, if you finish 2nd in the group you have to play a 2 legged knockout round against a 3rd place champions league team to be able to qualify for the round of 16

Not an extra round.if you win the group you dont play till the round of 16, unlike previously

We'd probably do ok against Leverkusen and Real Sociedad but I think this team would crumble in a full house against Legia Warsaw!

[Webbo]

Lyon

Betis

Sturm Graz

 

 

Stick your mortgage on it.

I don’t think any of them look easy.

They've taken one away for the group winner, rather than added one, which I think is a good idea and incentivises winning the group more.

Lyon would be great from a travel point of view

Your Group B is a police force nightmare 

[trabuch]

We should beat any of them.

[Koke]

The draw will take place today at 11am in Istanbul. 

[North Leeds Fox]

As easy a group as possible to avoid playing a CL third place team. 

Olympiakos 

Sparta prague 

Rapid wien

Would take that all day long - good trips too.

[Lako42]

Some right horrible bastards in this. 

 

Hope our home crowd is up for it because some of those aways could be very difficult 

[KrefelderFox666]

Both from a personal point of view and beatable scenario I want Leverkusen from Pot 1. Then possibly Sparta Prague and Antwerp would round a nice group.

 

Obviously we'll get Napoli, Marseille and Galatasaray.
