Manchester City will face Romanian side Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League play-off round.

I hope the Romanians give them a good pasting,on the pitch of course as I don't want my mates getting their heads kicked in.

 

[Liam]

Porto V Roma and Villareal V Monaco should be good games over 2 legs.

I think @Dorset and @Thfcire will advise that there are no chips involved...maybe a bit of grease though....

I won't tell you about dorsets spicy surprises

I'd like an away trip to Spain, Portugal or Germany from the top two Pots and an easy team including Celtic, because I can get a ticket.

Bring it on.

[Don Diaz]

Blimey Real Madrid and Dortmund in the same group.....shaping up as one to avoid, but might be impossible as well as avoiding English clubs....

 

[Don Diaz]

Napoli and Benfica anyone??

 

[Don Diaz]

Group E is easiest but I want some big teams for our Wembley CL nights....

 

[Don Diaz]

Group E it is......would have liked at least one glamour club, but I guess it's easier to progress if that's your thing.

 

[Don Diaz]

So we're done, Group E, good draw for those that want it as easy as possible - Bayer Leverkusen, CSKA Moscow, Monaco and the Mighty Spurs.

Must make sure we qualify out of that lot, rake in the cash and then beat some big fish in the last 16, quarters, semi's and final.

Bring it on.

 

[Don Diaz]

Leverkusen and Monaco are pretty easy to get to for the away games..... just saying

ooooohhhhhhh, I'm not sure how I can afford either and the Wembley games but it is tempting, depends on how much I piss up the wall in Greece I suppose.

 

[Liam]

Anyone know who we play in the first CL week?

 

[Don Diaz]

Waiting with bated breath for the UEFA super computer, BT Sport, THFC, the police, Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel and Daniel Levy to sort their schedules and advise.....should be later tonight/tomorrow morning

[Don Diaz]

I have a ticket available for someone for the Monaco home game 14th September, I can't make that date.

 

[Flump]

Hurrah. I'm delighted we got what, on paper, looks to be one of the easier groups. I know many wanted to see us play one of the european giants but honestly, I want us out of the group and then see what we get from there. I'd much rather meet Barcelona in the final than the group stage. COYS
