    All the BBC have been saying since the draw is "Poor old man city, they can't catch a break in the Champions League, they're so unlucky"

    Couldn't believe it..... what a touch. Too bad we don't set out to try and win anything these days otherwise we might actually have a chance of winning it.

    Realistically this may be our last chance with the current regime. From next season finishing 4th in the league means you`re in pot 4 for the group stages

    Don't think that's true.

    The only change asfaik is that league winners will automatically gain entry into pot one. I think the rest of the pots will be ranked using the same method so most likely with our generally high UEFA coefficient, we'll be stuck in pot 2.

    This has been agreed.

    Our 4th place bubble is about to be burst.

    On second reading it doesnt say exactly what happens to the 2nd-4th placed teams, but based on extrapolation of logic. There is little reason why the 4th place team should be ranked higher than the 2nd place team

    True. We haven't won a trophy for months.

    Spending a billion quid of dirty oil money is 'sporting merit' now, is it?

    Fair enough.
