Aweful group... we would have been better off not being ranked in the top 8 sides!
Two home wins and we will be alright... but with our form so far this year there may not be much point in progressing past the group stage.
Seville to retain the trophy for me.

That is a shocker of a draw for the Toon, especially when you see some of the other groups.
Good thing is top 3 go through so you would think they'll manage to qualify.
Its too early to predict a winner of this comp though as 8 teams will drop out of the Champions League into this.

Teams from the champions league never do well after dropping into this. |

Dave, did Porto drop out of the CL? We didn't make the CL proper - it was the QR we went out in.

We still came from the CL! does the Final not count as doing well? so this statement is incorrect, teams from CL do infact do well in UEFA |

We still came from the CL! How did you come from the CL if you went out in the Qualifying round? Is that like getting knocked out of the WSOP when you lose in a $10 sat? |
