An extra 10 mil seems like pocket change these days. Cant even get a backup FB for that amount. UEFA Cheapskates.

I think we could give almost all of them a game, hardest being Juventus, Bayern and PSG? We could beat the rest on our day. Lyon are a good dark horse.

Honestly, I'd really like to avoid Lyon...

i remember he scored cant be his last goal can it???but i cant remember another

That was some amazing shot from Dembele. Even more amazing because it is apparently the last shot he ever took. Friedel doing the yappy hands to the Lyon supporters was hilarious, if not a wee bit dangerous.

Yeah you’re right it wasn’t ssshhh it was waving goodbye. But at the end of the match so he didn’t have to go back into the goal, he headed quickly for the Centre circle.

To score you first have to shoot, I’m not sure there’s much left in the tank these days, this injury and recovery rate might be his last I fear.

Not many teams mug off City, mind. I'm quite happy to avoid them, and play someone else.

Proper football, would prefer Dortmund, Porto, Madrid if there were a choice, but there isn’t so happy to beat any of that lot over 2 legs

I`d go bayern over dortmund,ageing side,our energy could give us a huge chance,and sweet considering all the 5-1 gooner maulings.

 

[BrooklynYid]

Easiest would be Real or Porto, but I want Juve. Get them out of the way early so we can stroll to the title. Seriously speaking, the amazing thing about that pool is that all of those teams can beat or be beaten by anyone else. The knockouts will be a total crapshoot and there wil likely be some surprising results. And who's more surprising than Spurs?

I agree, Dortmund are very dangerous and Bayern, while still a good side, are a shadow of where they were a few years back.

here are the teams the English teams could face:

Manchester City: Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Roma, Schalke

Manchester United: Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Paris St-Germain, Porto, Real Madrid

Liverpool: Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Porto, Real Madrid

Tottenham: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Paris St-Germain, Porto, Real Madrid.

Fantastic example of why winning the group is important, although ironically last year we got Juventus after doing exactly that.

 

[Glenjamin]

PSG or Porto would be my preferred there. Juve in my opinion would be the worst draw. They look frigging serious this season.

 

[Glenjamin]

Spurs vs Dortmund...... Hmmmmm

 

[Glenjamin]

Liverpool vs bayern will be some game!

 

[Don Diaz]

Spurs vs Dortmund...... Hmmmmm

It's a good draw all things considered, just a bit meh as we played them last year. I fancied a bit of Port drinking contest in the Portugese sunshine!

Dortmund is a very tough draw in my opinion. They have really got themselves back on track this year! They are annihilating the bundesliga..

Could have used a holiday though.

Yeah, you're right, I didn't realise. Oh well, you've got to beat the best in Europe at some stage.Bring it on.
