Yeah I agree with that, they certainly should have beaten Ajax, but for me it was a toss up between the other three to go through, although I fancied Real for sure, Dortmund were a big surprise.

The seeding system offers us protection we don't really deserve, look at our performances in recent years, getting knocked out at the 1st sign of a decent team.

We've qualified from the group every single year. That is how we earned our seeding.
It's not luck, it's based on our performances every year. We earned it.

No we didn't :sulk:

We've been lucky every year.

We were lucky to draw Barca twice in three years too. And don't you forget it :angry:

We also had Song who could play there.

I'm in an optimistic mood today, 1-1.

Of course, this will be due to AW applying an unexpected 4-5-1 formation which will confuse the fuck out of the WBA manager.
