Would have preferred to have avoided them, for sure but we've knocked them out once, already :wink: :mrgreen:

Seriously, though, there's no easy ties really - Big Boys competition and all that. Looking forward to it :D

I was going to say that they have the toughest group of the English clubs. Villareal and Benfica are decent enough.

Aside from Chelsea, Liverpool's opponents are hardly top class!
Is this going to take long, only my foot's gone to sleep and I'd like to catch it up.

Are you kidding?

One of the top sides in Spain right now, a tough to beat French side and arguably the toughest team in the fourth seed?

Only groups G and A are similar to it in toughness.

Yeah, but if they don't finish top of that group there something wrong with them.
I would die of shame if i supported Manu, and they didn't finish top of a group like that, eh Zoot :wink:


Sorry,..... i would die of shame if i supported Manu :D :lol:

I was sort of serious about 'banana skins' above. You can't afford to be complacent, IMO. Some other club was described along the lines of not 'top class' last year. ;)

I thought they had a system whereby clubs were not able to be drawn against clubs from the same country?

Odd how Chelsea and Liverpool are the only ones out of all the groups where this has happened. :?
