August 28, 200816 yr Group A: CHELSEA, AS Roma, Bordeaux, ClujGroup B: Inter, Werder, Panathinaikos, Anorthosis Group C: Barcelona, Sporting, FC Basel, Shakhtar Group D: LIVERPOOL, PSV, Marseille, Atletico Group E: MAN UTD, Villarreal, CELTIC, Aalborg Group F: Lyon, Bayern, Steaua, Fiorentina Group G: ARSENAL, FC Porto, Fenerbahce, Dinamo Kiev Group H: Real Madrid, Juventus, Zenit, Bate Roma will be tricky, but I'm pretty pleased with Bordeaux and Cluj (whoever they are!). I don't envy Liverpool and Arsenal's draws.
August 28, 200816 yr Roma will be tricky, but I'm pretty pleased with Bordeaux and Cluj (whoever they are!). I don't envy Liverpool and Arsenal's draws. more than happy with that draw. considering we could have got munich, athletico madrid and zenit, the draws been prety kind. though im still not sure cluj is actually a club, and not a disease.
August 28, 200816 yr Author more than happy with that draw. considering we could have got munich, athletico madrid and zenit, the draws been prety kind. though im still not sure cluj is actually a club, and not a disease. Yeah I agree not too bad at all, fingers crossed we don't have any trouble at Roma away. Here's Wikipedias take on Cluj: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluj_County
August 28, 200816 yr The last time Man U drew with Villarreal in the group stage they didn't go through to the next round(Round of 16).That was in 2005-06 when Chelsea won the Premiership.
August 28, 200816 yr Who the f*ck are Cluj?! The Romainian champions, more Argies than Romainians though. ;) Edited August 28, 200816 yr by coco
August 28, 200816 yr delighted with it if roma are the hardest to face then happy days cause they are sh*t
August 28, 200816 yr they lost mancini who would have been someone to watch out. but now all they have is totti and i guess vucinic is a threat , good draw.
August 28, 200816 yr Did Bordeaux finish 2nd in Ligue 1 last year? Madrid got a potentially tough group but Barca got the luck of the draw this go around in my opinion. Not that I can complain much about ours.
August 28, 200816 yr Here's Wikipedias take on Cluj: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluj_County that's not the city, that's the county ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolozsv%C3%A1r this is it. only 400 km from here. i hope i can get the day off...
August 29, 200816 yr Nice draw, again. I have consulted my UEFA iffy-o-meter and it has confimed that the draw was fixed. It is now beyond doubt that the formerly evil UEFA want us to win the Champions League.
August 29, 200816 yr Nice draw, again.I have consulted my UEFA iffy-o-meter and it has confimed that the draw was fixed. It is now beyond doubt that the formerly evil UEFA want us to win the Champions League. Come on Liam you know better than that it is not because they want us to win it it is because they want Scolari to win it so as to belittle Jose's achievements - so all conspiracy theories are back on folks!
August 29, 200816 yr Group A: CHELSEA, AS Roma, Bordeaux, ClujGroup B: Inter, Werder, Panathinaikos, Anorthosis Group C: Barcelona, Sporting, FC Basel, Shakhtar Group D: LIVERPOOL, PSV, Marseille, Atletico Group E: MAN UTD, Villarreal, CELTIC, Aalborg Group F: Lyon, Bayern, Steaua, Fiorentina Group G: ARSENAL, FC Porto, Fenerbahce, Dinamo Kiev Group H: Real Madrid, Juventus, Zenit, Bate two through from each Group, so I'd say: Chelsea and Bordeaux from Group A Inter and Panathanaikos from Group B Barca and Sporting from Group C Too close to call for Group D, But I'll go Scum and Atletico Manure and the other Scum, maybe Villareal from Group E Lyon and Bayern from F Arse and Porto from G Real and Juve from H thoughts? I think I could be off on a couple of the second teams, and I think group D, and Group G pose problems. really happy with our draw, should go through first, but at least 2nd Scott
August 29, 200816 yr Again no PSV in Chelsea's group, Liverscum got them :lol: What does it take for Chelsea to travel to my country for a change, FFS! And to add insult to injury: Chelsea and PSV play on the same nights, so no Chelsea on Dutch tv in the group stages. When will I ever catch a lucky break? Other than that (to show that I am not totally focused on only myself): we get a scouting trip to Rome.... :lol:
August 29, 200816 yr that's not the city, that's the county :lol:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolozsv%C3%A1r this is it. only 400 km from here. i hope i can get the day off... The team is actually called CFR 1907 Cluj: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFR_1907_Cluj-Napoca And the official site: http://www.cfrcluj1907.ro/en/
August 29, 200816 yr Excellent draw for us. Also good to see that Le Arse's, and The Pool's are quite tricky.
August 29, 200816 yr Group D should be verrrrry interesting indeed. Athletico Madrid and PSV will definitely be a problem for them. Oh please let them get creamed :lol:
August 29, 200816 yr The draw looks good, we should finish top. Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool have all done well against Roma in recent years in the CL and UEFA Cup so I hope we’ll do the same.
August 29, 200816 yr On paper it looks like a very good draw for us, but bear in mind people expected us to beat Rosenborg at home last season and we didn't... these teams will raise there game when it comes to playing Chelsea, but as always in the group stage, if we win our home games we should go through
August 29, 200816 yr The team is actually called CFR 1907 Cluj: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFR_1907_Cluj-NapocaAnd the official site: http://www.cfrcluj1907.ro/en/ yes and the team's original name is Kolozsvári Vasutas SC ;)
August 29, 200816 yr yes and the team's original name is Kolozsvári Vasutas SC ;) What a load of Cluj!
August 30, 200816 yr yes and the team's original name is Kolozsvári Vasutas SC ah, that cluj. now i know who they are after seeing their former name..... ;)
