Yep lol.
All the other English sides should be happy though, I guess Chelsea have a reasonably tough group including an away trip to... Azerbaijan. Would like to think we should be absolutely fine but we went out the group stage in 2011 with Benfica & Basel in our group so nothing's ever certain. |

Quarabag always miss out in the playoffs and it won't stop this year playing. Copenhagen! Yeh tough for Liverpool but they should still really qualify! ..... and they are there as Azerbaijan's first ever CL team!!!. Must be the first team to represent a Ghost Town also.

I wonder what the odds of a North London derby taking place in the Europa League this season are?
Horrible group for Tottenham and it's also quite a tricky group for Chelsea, Manchester City should get through their group quite easily and Liverpool will probably finish 2nd behind Sevilla. Celtic will get knocked out just like they usually do and probably will finish bottom of the group. It's a good draw on paper for Man Utd and I think we are better equipped for the Champions League this time compared to two years ago when we went out in the group stage. Barcelona will be out for revenge on Juventus after getting knocked out in the quarter finals last season by them. |

Spurs absolutely deserve that group. Same for Celtic. Should take them down a few pegs
The rest of us got reasonable groups |

Might sound daft, but genuinely I think we will do well in the Champions League. The way Klopp sets us up probably suits us more in Europe than the Premier League. Must admit I am pleasantly surprised by the draw, we could have got a really difficult draw but relatively little travelling spare for a trip to Russia. Saying that, while Spurs' draw is hard I could see all 5 English teams in the last 16. |

Saying that, while Spurs' draw is hard I could see all 5 English teams in the last 16. I would expect at least four. United and City should both finish top, Chelsea and Liverpool may have a scrap on their hands but should be at least second. Spurs on paper could get the better of Dortmund over two legs if that's what it comes to, but Wembley may be an issue again. |

They're both arrogant f***s that need a reality check. Spurs have won a league cup in the PL era and errr..... heehaw else. They seagger about acting like the big I am and the way they chatted about Leicester at the end of their winning season was so far beyond arrogant man has yet to invent an instrument that can measure how arrogant those statements were. Celtic are the whale in a sardine can but think they're swimming with other whales. They're not. They're not good enough to match what's coming out of Brendan Rodgers mouth.

I maybe am not exposed to the stuff you hear about Spurs but I think out of all the so called big six in the league they have got to this point through good management and ownership in comparison to the clubs that can throw money at any situation and pull themselves up so think they have been a breath of fresh air since Potch arrived - albeit they haven't won anything yet!
As for Celtic obviously in the league they can push everyone aside due to the way the league has developed in the last 25 years but it's not really they're fault and when it comes to the Champions League I think it's ridiculous that the Scottish Champions (and others) have to play 6 games just to get a group place so naturally hope they do well!

Diego Costa has been left out of Chelsea's squad for the Champions League. Chelsea should have got rid of him at all costs because he will have Dimitri Payet levels of bad attitude in the Chelsea dressing room which could affect the whole team.

I can't believe that PSG bothered to take Neymar and Mbappe to Glasgow. What a waste of energy for them.
3-0 doesn't really reflect the match I don't think. We turned off after the second goal which was frustrating to watch. FC Basel made it challenging for us through the middle third but they were utterly useless in the final third. |

The champions league group stages have become a waste of time because of UEFA!

At least we've got some tasty ties in the Groups such as Barca vs. Juve and Real vs. Dortmund.
Always love an outsider coming through the Group stages too and there tends to be one every year. |

Almost a walkover for Chelsea against FC Qarabag. Apparently a Celtic fan ran onto the pitch and tried to kick Mbappe.
A good win for us but again doesn't really reflect the scoreline. |

Too bad Man Utd signed Lindelof.. looks like he could have been perfect for Liverpool's defence!
