So who do we want?

My bet: Milan, PSV Eindhoven, Celtic FC, SK Slavia Praha

(The easy draw again, Porty?)

Due to the depth in our roster (not sufficient), I'd take the easiest group possible.

This year the trophy that I really want Milan to win is the Serie A.

Me too.

My bet: Milan, Valencia, Stuttgart, Fenerbahçe

Man that's one KRAZY group....

i have a feeling that if we get a tough group like the group of death we wont make it past the first round. so an easy or average draw is what we need. and ya i really want us to win serie a too, especially if it's our only trophy of the season.

my bet Sevilla, Marseilles, Beşiktaş.

If Pippo heard u he'd smack u across ur head !!

We have a very STRONG team. Thus, no matter what, Milan will go through .. Straight to Moscow

it's more a gut feeling than anything. we've had so much success in CL recently so it's bound to go wrong sometimes.

Not true and you know it well.

We've a strong first 11. Maybe 4 or 5 good guys in the bench. But not a strong squad.

Compare our depth to Inter, Barcelona, Madrid, Chelsea, Liverpool... specially these ones.

Yeah compare the depth .. Then tell me who won the CL

Add to that team Ronaldo and Emerson and what have u got

It already did in 04 (Deportivo) and 05 (Istanbul) ... Nothing can be worse

ya i guess. we'll just have to wait until the draw is over

I want PFC CSKA Moskva... I need to see us check the air... maybe the ground too as the Final could be held at this stadium instead of the Luzhniki.

Milan/Lyon/Stuttgart/Rosenborg is my guess.

Hopefully Milan, Celtic and Sevilla and get 'easy' draws.

Celtic? I thought you did not like the Scots...

I've always liked Celtic, Villa have good links with them. Plus 90% of Scotland hate Celtic, so that's more reason to like 'em.

Ditto, perhaps the fact that they don't seem to big themselves up all the time like Rangers used to do

i bet werder, marseille, and fenerbahce

anyone have a link so i we can watch it live ?

The draw will be shown live on UEFA's website (www.uefa.com)

Milan, Benfica, Steaua, Slavia would be an ideal group. We could play with our
subs in that one.

Do you have to have the membership tp view it?

You may need it to see the video live. But the graphic thing that shows the pots and the A-H groups is free. I've already got it up.

EDIT: It looks like they will show the video free.

Yeah just noticed it, thanks

At what time is the draw ... Basically, how long till the draw ?!

last year i watched the actual draw free, i hope they do it again this year.

A couple of minutes till it starts.

I don't want a weak group, instead I'd like a strong one! That will keep us awake both in the CL and the Scudetto run!! This team needs motivation above everything else...

I personally would prefer an easy group so that we don't lose points in the league because of tough group games.

Plus we usually start the CL weak and go to the KOs strong.

Anyway draw about to start now, EUFA live stream alreasy up and working

so does this thing start in a couple of minutes? i'm terrible with international times.

(edit: nevermind..it's started)
