You'd be happy with an away trip all the way to Kazakhstan?

Would have been an almost guaranteed win.

Also bit better than a trip to Russia or playing Wolfsburg.

Need a minimum of 7 points from our home games in that group I feel.

Glad we avoided any of the real big first seeds and got PSV.

We got a pretty hard group in the end. Should get through it ok but we've got the potential to really stuff it up.

Happy with our group! Especially happy that Chelsea are coming to Israel, which means I should be there! Hoping to get to the game here and also at least one in England!

We should cruise this group. Porto the only real threat.

Solid group, but we SHOULD be fine.

Malmo with a tough group: BRING IT ON.

How's United's group tough? Only really the 4th seed where they could have gotten someone "easier" but that would have been a long trip to Astana.

1. We're not exactly great at the minute.
2. Wolfsburg and PSV are both decent enough sides (although admittedly both of them have lost their best players)
3. Moscow is pretty much always a tough away trip.

Its not a tough group by any means and we SHOULD definitely make it through but there is certainly some potentially tricky games. It could easily become a bit of a scrap knowing us and I reckon the reason it's 'tough' is more of a reflection on us than the actual group itself.

Just cause you're playing shit doesn't mean it's a tough group

PSV are by the easiest of the 1st seeds (with Zenit), third seeds are pretty equal other than the travel and Wolsburg, although a good side, you should be winning plus it's not as much travel as with the others.

You should be winning that group imo and can't say it was a tough group if you fuck up.

It's obviously not the hardest group we could have gotten but we've got 3 very decent teams all of fairly similar standard including the best team in pot 4.

We should be fine, but its definitely not a cake walk.

The top seeds are made up of the CL holders and the champions of the 7 highest ranked countries in the UEFA rankings.

All things considered it's still a easy group (on paper). United also have to travel fuck all, the second least out of all all the PL sides.

Even though Chelsea got a fairly good group, I'd still have preferred to see one that required far less travelling. Someone put up elsewhere it's about 9,184 miles, nearly double everyone else's travel requirements. Could become a bit of an issue with the PL games sandwiched in between.

BT Sport's free to air channel is only on Freeview and not my Sky box, due to the signal in my area being shit I can't get it.

Reliant on streams from now on.
