[Ollie the Optimist]

[Niall_Quinn]

Arsenal
Schalke
Ajax
Anderlecht

[JonasTC]

Arsenal
P$G
Man. $ity
$.$.C. Napoli

[Munchies]

^ We can't get Shitty can we ?

[Syn]

Really want: arsenal, lyon, basel, celtic.

[JonasTC]

^ We can't get Shitty can we ?

we cant, i was too focused on creating a group with us and the money teams :D

[Özim]

Looking at it being top seeds we could end up with a really sh*tty group like

CSKA Moscow (how are they even 2nd seeds??), FC Basel, Austria Vienna or FC Copenhagen

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hopefully.

[Özim]

I hope not, that wouldn't even be worth watching. What's the point in playing pub teams, would rather we played quality sides.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'll watch it anyway so it doesn't bother me.

[milla]

Please make it PSG, Dortmund and Napoli in our group. :coffee:

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal, PSG, Dortmund, Napoli has to be the group we want

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Marid. :haha:

Arsenal.com. :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

We'll get Olympiakos for sure.

We'll play them away in the last game of the groups and lose which will cost us top spot and therefore get a harder team in the next round which we'll lose.

Repeat next year if we qualify.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Updated the OP. :popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

Arsenal
PSG
Olympiakos
Sociedad

[Munchies]

Updated the OP. :popcorn:

:good:

Arsenal
Atletico
Dortmund
Napoli

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal
Marseille
Olympiakos
Austria Vienna

:sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just reading about the Europa League winners making it in to the Champions League from 2014/2015; if we were to finish fourth then and there was an English winner in both competitions, we'd miss out on the CL.

Our comfortable space in threat. :rose: Although we'd still qualify if there was only on English winner - there'd be five teams from England qualifying in that instance of a Europa League winner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme on SSN is on in a minute.

[LDG]

Sky's programme on SSN is on in a minute.

So the draw in about 2 hrs time then?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Roughly.

Redknapp and Champagne Charlie in the studio. Yorke couldn't be arsed to travel down from Manchester so he is on the video link.

[Niall_Quinn]

Roughly.

Redknapp and Champagne Charlie in the studio. Yorke couldn't be arsed to travel down from Manchester so he is on the video link.

How is he going to reach his balls?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How is he going to reach his balls?

I don't know.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ribery. :lol:

[Munchies]

Aparrently Shitty drew Real, PSG and Napoli in the rehearsal :pray:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Not the best quality but for those without SSN:

[Munchies]

Not the best quality but for those without SSN:

http://popstreams.eu/stream1.html

I got SSN , but I cba to move into the room with the tv :lol:

[Munchies]

Here

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not the best quality but for those without SSN:

http://popstreams.eu/stream1.html

It should be streamed on UEFA.com.

[Marc Overmars]

What time is the actual draw starting?

Need to know when to stop working and secretly start playing Sky Go on my phone.

[WMUG]

Draw in an hour or so?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It should be in 15 or 20 minutes. They have the guff talking in between drawing of pots these days.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I hope we aren't going to get our mates Olympiakos again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Allan from Cumbria on 81111 on text: I have been a Chelsea fan for 14 years. I would like us to have Man City & Celtic - they will be warm-up games before we get to the tougher matches, so we will be ready.

Allan. :lol:

[WMUG]

It should be in 15 or 20 minutes. They have the guff talking in between drawing of pots these days.

15 minutes til they go to monaco, but they probably won't start taking balls out for about 30-45 minutes, I'd expect

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't understand why it still says Wembley 2013 before cutting to the studio. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Where is the final this season?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Melanie Vinegar is back. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Where is the final this season?

Lisbon.

[Niall_Quinn]

Melanie Vinegar and Pedro Pinto - made up names.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is she attractive or just weird?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

She's no Lauren Harries.

[Marc Overmars]

Melanie Vinegar. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea. :haha:

An embarrassment to England last season.

[Niall_Quinn]

She's no Lauren Harries.

On balance I think that one works.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chelsea. :haha:

An embarrassment to England last season.

Huge chance of winning it this year is they can keep the bus well serviced.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Huge chance of winning it this year is they can keep the bus well serviced.

Mourinho will find a way to lose on pelanties again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Billy McNeill seems a bit nervous, or drunk.

[Marc Overmars]

Billy McNeill seems a bit nervous, or drunk.

He's a jock, so the latter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fair point.

Figo. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

The managed to find somebody more senile than Bobby Charlton then.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I'd be tempted to stick a tenner on PSG

[Munchies]

Remember that Figo goal against United so much :bow:

Watched the game with my friend, and he kept crying saying it was a fluke :lol:

[LDG]

Melanie Vinegar. :bow:

Daughter of Arsene Vinegar :bow:

Hopefully she'll do us a favour.

( if you know what I mean )

[Marc Overmars]

Figo. :bow:

What a man.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Ivan better not be there. Guy should be working on transfers instead of chilling out in Monaco.

[Munchies]

Here we go

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wafer want to stamp out the evil of racism.

[Munchies]

Hurry up ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ivan better not be there. Guy should be working on transfers instead of chilling out in Monaco.

Some good players there tbf.

He won't be though, it'll be some other berk.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why does this have to be run by fucking euros every year?

[Munchies]

Is this the same fat italian football pundit ? He's lost weight if so

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here we go. :popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

He's been told a million times to hold the names up.

What a ****.

[GP]

[Niall_Quinn]

[Niall_Quinn]

Why weren't Leverkusen eligible for group F?

[milla]

Now, all we need is Napoli in group F. :pray:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Maybe this will force Wenger to spend some money :(

[milla]

Why weren't Leverkusen eligible for group F?

Dunno, a mistake? :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why weren't Leverkusen eligible for group F?

They can't have Dortmund and Bayern Munich on the same side.

[Niall_Quinn]

Maybe this will force Wenger to spend some money :(

I don't think he can get away with asking the players to pay for travel to the away ties, so he'll have to spend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pot 4 time.

[Niall_Quinn]

They can't have Dortmund and Bayern Munich on the same side.

Stupid rule.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Napoli out!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Please not group F :pray:

[Niall_Quinn]

[Munchies]

Hardest group ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Anderlecht in with Benfica, PSG and Olympiakos

[Cripps_orig]

Delighted with the group.

We're out which of course is a shame but should see some great games

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Celtic. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona, Milan, Ajax and Celtic. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Barca, Milan, Ajax, Celtic - best they could get really

[Munchies]

Celtic :haha:

[milla]

Delighted with the group.

We're out which of course is a shame but should see some great games

Hopefully I can get tickets for Dortmund and Napoli home games. :coffee:

[Marc Overmars]

Celtic. :lol:

Bye.

[Niall_Quinn]

Delighted with the group.

We're out which of course is a shame but should see some great games

Good in theory, but this is the CL so no chance of good games.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Steaua Bucharest in with Chelsea, Schalke and Basel. :doh:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Delighted with the group.

We're out which of course is a shame but should see some great games

Should pick up draws away to Dortmund and Napoli but at home we will be destroyed by both...only chance really is if Flamini plays in midfield and not Ramsey....otherwise we will be maimed on the counter attack.

[Niall_Quinn]

When's the last group match - at least we know precisely when our season is over this year.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Copehagen in with Real Madrid, Juventus and Galatasaray.

[Niall_Quinn]

Steaua Bucharest in with Chelsea, Schalke and Basel. :doh:

Slightly fucking rigged that one.
