Champions League Thread 2012/13

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Well we could draw the death groups but we always keep our balls well heated.

Yep unlike City our coefficients seem to be ok.

[Ollie the Optimist]

This.

Also, in terms of who we draw, I want someone big. It used to be you went into European competition hoping to see the best in Europe, but crappy dull Groups designed to keep the best apart have ruined that.

As it stands we could be drawn against Porto, Malaga, Dortmund, Bayern, Barcelona or Shakhtar in the last 16.

some big names there, yet if we finish first, we could end up with madrid, juventus as well.

As i wasnt on last night

Chelsea

Worst CL holders ever

Id rather never have won it than be labeled as that

[Marc Overmars]

How long before City can move to the 2nd pot of seeds?

Another group of death for them next year I hope.

Will the EPL's co-efficient rankings start going down soon if City continue to play in the Chumps league? (i.e. so we only get 3 spots rather than the 4)

Scott Ballantyne on Twitter: "Can't quite believe that Mancini took off Aguero for Milner? And I am no fan of City, but that was just strange?

Says it all really.

Long time to go before that happens, especially with Chelsea's win last season. Italian clubs would have to dominate like never before for them to overtake the Premier League.

Or they could bribe refs and officials.

Nah all it will do is keep giving them groups of death tbh. They need to win their last game just to get into the Europa league they'd be even worse off.
