      Benfica, Borussia Dortmund & Apoel Nicosia would do me fine.

      Notice how Manchester United has the Manchester City badge on that image of the pots.. ;)

      Anyways, I would love a scenario of either
      a) We knock out Barcelona, but in doing so we bring on Coutinho in the dying minutes to parade him in front of them, or
      b) We knock out Barcelona with Coutinho having scored the winning goal..

      Generally, just knock out Barcelona. But I'd like a little 'in your face' so to speak.

      c) We knock out Barcelona without Coutinho who still hasn't shaken off his mysterious virus/back injury.

      Predictions and hopes for the group draw can go here.

      Its a sure thing we get Barce isnt it!!

      Tough draw no matter what. I predict well get

      Juve Barce and leipzig.

      Id like spartak, Porto and Apoel

      Now you like the long trips.

      We were supposed to get Barcelona last time. Instead we got Basle.

      Pisspot:  :f_wah:
      Real/Bayern/Juventus
      Barcelona/PSG/Seville
      Karabakh

      Jackpot:  :D

      Monaco
      Porto
      Nicosia

      Please be at home first, as it means we're at home last if a result is needed.

      Thanks.

      Yes Lord, we'll take that. ;)



      On the other hand

      I don't give a F**k who we get.

      We are back where we belong and  am looking forward to some cracking European nights both at Anfield and away.

      I think there is more chance of teams shitting themselves on the thought that we are in pot 3. Lets see what happens in the draw.

      We are BACK. Bring them on.   :aaliverpool2xt1: :aaliverpool2xt1: :aaliverpool2xt1: :cool-smiley-027:

      That pot 2 looks brutal, how on earth are some of those teams not in pot 1 :D

      Bet you we get Dortmund. Don't really care who we get but would like us to have at least one real big team to get the momentum building when we beat them in the last group game to take us into the next round!

      I don't really care who we get, just chuffed to bits to be back in the competition and hoping it actually help us do some transfer business in the next 7 days

      Come to think of it I wouldn't mind drawing Sevilla and seeing a bit of revenge for Basle

      When it comes to the draw you need a bit of luck but on our past experiences, when it comes to cup draws, we always seem to do it the hard way. I'm expecting a tough group but if lady luck shines on us today I'll be really happy.

      Lads remember the rules:

      Chelsea / United will be drawn with the easier of the teams.

      City/Liverpool are guaranteed the hardest groups.

      The sticky balls will be back in play today as the backhanders get paid out.

      Go on UEFA prove me wrong so I can remove my conspiracy hat.

      They change the pot seedings this year

      Winners of league's go in pot 1 irrespective of their European history.
      Pot 2 are runners up in league etc etc

      Which is fair enough in my view.  Ensures that for the top leagues winning your own league carries some merit.

      Just looking at the seedings, seems that most sides in our own pot we've had plenty of involvement with in the past decade or so!

      Completely agree, it gives some recognition at least for the season you win your league

      Look at France as an example.
       Most would put Psg in pot 1, but Monoco won the  league they should get that seeding

      Cheers mate, didn't realise that had happened but then why is e.g. Celtic in pot 4? Is that based on Scotland's coeficcient?
