Champions League Draw

[The Baron]

Levski Sofia have more chace of qualifying! 

[TightEnd]

Is it top 2 thru into a straight knockout last 16 with group winners being seeded not to play each other?


Who can talk to me about Werder Bremen? Are they a threat to Chelsea and Barca?

They are a very good and under rated team, IMO, Tighty.  That group is not clear cut.

Second best side in Germany and were imo the strongest of the pot 3 sides, made knockout stages last year and would have KO'd Juve had it not been for an almighty blunder by their 'keeper in the last minute.  Can't see them splitting Barca and Chelsea though.

which is why I asked


I like to try and find theoretical value amongst pot 3 and 4 teams to make the later stages on the spread indices

[Newportlad]

Werder Bremen have Klose playing for them.
I think they were the team that should have beat Juventus inthe last 8, but for the goalkeeping howler that gave Juve a last minute winner.
That looks REALLY dodgy after the 'fixes' going on in Italy

£20 that Celtic do not qualify.

Any takers? Dave?

defo, ill take that bet!

you can either transfer it via Neteller or just fire it into my Pokerstars account! xx

Easy Money!!!

If its easmy money Nem lets make it £50

And I'll have a £100 with you that Spurs dont get out their group ........................  oops thats right they never got into that draw did they??

I'll lay Celtic at evens to qualify until the cows come home

Yip Celtic will be at least 5/2 to get out of the group, remember Benfica got got through at Man Utds expense last year.

Anyway I'm booked up for Lisbon flying from Luton 

[TightEnd]

That will be a great nostalgic trip Teacake..hows about playing at Luton the night before?!


As to Celtic, I'm a complete neutral but I would say backing them to get out of the group at Evens is not sensible

My impression from afar is that Celtic are not quite as good as the last 3 years, Man U and Benfica are strong always. Put that together and I want 5/2 plus to be on them

As we all know, bookies make money from football punters who back with their heart not their head (ie the idiots who are on England to win the WC etc) and this would be another such example. Nemesis' pension fund can be boosted from other directions. Save yer money!

That said, would be delighted to see both British sides go through

Definetly a favourable draw though, similar in a way to the group we had last year although FC Copenhagen are a lot better then Artmedia. Home games against Benfica and FC Copenhagen will be key imo (heres hoping you lose them  )

[fergus8]

i was gonna put celtic nil points in the group then i saw the odds .......4/7
ffs there not that crap

Cheers Tighty, I wanted either of the Lisbon clubs for obvious reasons.

Your right about Celtic, poor so far this season but we'll get a better idea of where we stand when the transfer window closes ie will Petrov still be here & if not who'll be his replacement

I just booked 4 of us on a wee trip to the Algarve for the week direct from Glasgow for £900 quid.

Good points Mr End.

Generally as a rule of thumb I never back Celtic, and for obvious reasons I never back Rangers as I couldn't stand to see them win a one ticket raffle.

However this is a really good group for Celtic I don't like the match schedue though.

I would have preferred to have Copenhagen in the middle home/away rather than Benfica.

I would hope Celtic can take 6 points from the Danes although they are no mugs.  I would hope to be able to take 3 points from Benfica at home and 1 from Man U at hope with any luck Man U will have the group sewn up by the time they come to Glasgow on match day 5.
