Champions League Draw..

[kinboshi]

lol..I thought "What Champions league draw already?" but this is the draw for the pityful teams that still need to qualify..not the proper one

LOL - we won it from this position.

*cough* fluke *cough*

Was it?

yes it was..be honest..Liverpool isn't much of a team really..fluked themselves into 4th in the league

Getting to the final twice in three years is a fluke?  Beating the best teams in Europe on the way?

and only have one above average player in Stevie G..the rest of em would all struggle to get a shot in the first 11 at Leicester.

Alonso, Carragher, Agger, Reina, Finnan, Crouch...


 

yeah but they had the easy side of the draw both times really and the odd top team they played was under performing.

and those guys are allright but not really top-class players...Maybe with some more investment and a new coach you'd get somewhere on merit instead of relying on luck.

*wonders how long kin will keep responding to what is quite clearly a wind-up.

Until next Tuesday.

Red Star are one of the better draws we could have got although they are probably thinking the same thing.

Don't fancy Celtics much

If my team consisted of those 11 leaden hoofed clowns that were wearing blue shirts on tuesday night, I wouldnt fancy Celtic's tie either.

 it's ridiculous a team that qualified for the last 16 last year and won their championship has to enter this stage of the tournament anyway , its like Patrik Antonius playing a satellite.

look on the bright side, entry into the uefa cup proper

Nasty draw for Celtic, Spartak are half way through their season & are top of the league I believe, they also play on astroturf  You really want to catch a team who are very early into their season who are trying to bed in new players & are still not upto full fitness.
The Russian league year is improving year on year due to new money being poured in, but at least we won't underestimate them as we have done in the past.

Rangers will struggle against most teams at this level but the Serbian league is dire, Red Star are nothing like the team they used to be in the days of Yugoslavia, they might not even get by the Estonian team!

Tricky one for Arsenal, no probs for Liverpool.

i dont know why celtic fans think there something special, celtic will struggle versus most teams at this level.
scott brown comes in and is instantly your best player, agree?
so by that logic the rest of the squad isnt up to scratch.
i really dont think there is much between rangers and celtic, so i think domestically it will be close.
in europe both are clearly sub standard, and so easy draws are the way forward, rangers have been really lucky, celtic really unlucky.
i actually think spartak would have fancied thier chances againt anyone even pool, arsenal,sevilla. i mean home advantage on a astro pitch

[BigTomatoes]

 Liverpool were in the final last year and they have to play this shitty qualifier , what a joke.

[fergus8]

the really annoying thing is that rangers will qualify and celtic wont, wow how irritating, enjoy uefa cup

Not really sure why that comment wound you up, thought it was pretty obvious.

I didn't say Celtic were special or anything like that, I'm well aware of our limitations but we will sign at least another 2 players before the transfer window shuts.

Brown has the potential to be our best player but he hasn't even played a competitive game yet so keep telling yourselves that we're not up to scratch & we'll keep winning trophies tyvm 

[fergus8]

to be honest i always like it when both old firm are in the group stages, only happened once ever. i hope all brit teams get thru as britsh derbies are about the best games around, i mean who wants to see spartak, red star, toulouse or sparta prague in the daddi of all comps?not me

your joking??....would never have guessed that! lol

I'm having none of it.

If we are any good we'll pump them. We pulled Ajax out the hat in 2001 and beat them with ease.

we lost to Basle at this stage in 2002 when everyone thought going through was a formality.

We've got the hardest draw possible but Spartak are Unseeded for a reason.

Bring them on!!


p.s. The teddy's are out on their arse

who wants to see rangers in it?

At least Red Star have won it before and are current champions of their national league

As Mr Keegan would say..

I'd LOVE IT if we saw Red Star in the group stages
