Last 2 we had ridiculous groups, united have a hardish group but they'll come top of it I think. Sociedad to come 2nd in the group hopefully. Anyway I think I might place a £10 bet on arsenal playing europa league football.

:rofl: we could genuinely get 18 points from this group. We'll get at least 14 points in the group. Just a shame that we can end up with a ridiculously hard R16 tie though.

Yeah it makes a change from last years group haha.

Arsenal got a really brutal group especially if they continue with the squad depth they have. Barcelona got a hardish one again but I expect to still come first.

I see you winning 3-0 vs ajax twice, Milan depends back in 2011-12 season they were bosses but they've rebuilt quite nicely.

I see we've relieved Anzhi of Eto'o's outlandish wages, now if only a team would be kind enough to relieve us of Torres. :yes:


I really think Berbatov would have been a better option for us

We've had tricky groups on a few occasions
2006/07 we had Barcelona (season after they won it) and Werder Bremen (who were quite good IMO)
2007/08 we had Schalke(who i think had just won the league) and Valencia
2005/06 we had Liverpool in our group
2009/10 we had Atletico(with Forlan and Aguero) and Porto (Hulk and up and coming Falcao)

We haven't had easy groups over the years but we make it through

Ajax aren't particularly difficult. Real Madrid have had them like 3 times in the group stages and have scored like 15+ goals in 6 games.
Dortmund trumped them 4-1 at their own stadium

Man City just made a mess tbh
