Looking around mainstream media sites today, I have noticed a few articles stating that "we have earnt our place among the top seeds." We have been in the top pot for years even after having to endure many play offs to reach the group stages. Is this down to our pedigree in European competition over the last 14 years? Spuds and Citeh, on thier debut seasons have been dumped into pot 3. If co efficients are used to determine number of places etc, does the seeding come down to past performances? I find it weird that teh german winners and runners up have been put in the bottom two pots tbh.
