Chelsea always get away with the easiest draw.


Bullshit, they don't get easier draws than ManU or Arsenal.

I'm telling you, Operation Yewtree need to turn their attention to the people in the crowd at the CL draw.

Poor Barcelona, having to draw Celtic again

Messi's suit is certainly an improvement on the bizarre polka dot mess he wore at the FIFA World Player Awards ceremony last year.

Man U and Chelsea's groups are progressable, but probably not as easy as they look. Celtic will probably finish last, Arsenal face a struggle and Man City could go either-way, though it'd be a bit much if they repeated last year's antics.

Arsenal's group looks excellently balanced on paper.

Interesting regarding Manchester United. They are the best team in he group, but Leverkusen and Real Sociedad will be very dangerous if they play to their potential.

Ahh, okay... maybe not back in 2007-2008 then, when we held you guys to a draw at Stamford Bridge and got Mourinho sacked.

If that's your team's greatest achievement in the competition, it's kinda sad.

Well unlike you he only has one team to choose from. Though back in the days when Chelsea could only dream of being in such a competition Rosenborg were quite a side in Europe.

^ What VP said.

There was a time when Chelsea played the likes of Norwegian sides such as Tromsø, Vålerenga and Viking, whilst we were playing Champions League football picking up wins against sides like AC Milan, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund etc.

If Steaua buys a good striker they can get the second place.

Milan-Barcelona again, even I'm bored of that by now! God knows how they both feel.

City surely won't mess this one up - expect them to finish 2nd. United and Chelsea both should be fine and I'd expect both to finish top, although United will have to be careful in a couple of their games as Shola said.

Arsenal must have thought they'd got lucky when Marseille came out from pot 2 but it couldn't have been any worse from pots 3 and 4. Will be tough but wouldn't write them off.

NIce to see a good draw for Chelsea for a change. Not so keen on Juve's one though, should snag second place however it will be tough.

Last years was semi difficult but you should've got out of a group with Juve, Shakhtar and Nordsjaelland.

Before that you've had Leverkusen, Valencia and Genk and the year before that Marseille, Spartak Moscow and Zilina...

I'm not too fussed either way if I'm honest. If we dropped down into the Europa League we might actually be in with a shout of winning it. We haven't a chance in the Champions League and progressing just to get knocked out in the last sixteen isn't particularly fun.

I'd prefer we didn't really, there's a reason why Italian clubs don't give a shit about the Europa League, apart from it being the poor man's Champions League.

Considering our squad it'd be a tad too much to expect them to realistically challenge on so many fronts, and it could derail our chase for the CL places.

Aye bit unfair that. Nothing wrong with the original decision with van Persie but Valencia got away with it.
