Juventus
PSV
Lyon
Panathinaikos

Schalke 04
Sparta Prague
Lille

Pot 4.

Petrzalka

[Eric Clyde]

2 questions

1. Is the draw gonna be on sky sports news? 2. Who the hell are Petrzalka?

[Elhombrebala]

I know the draw is gonna be on Eurosport at 15:30 UK time. At 15:00 pm the Uefa Gala will start and shortly after that the draw starts.

Artmedia Petrzalka is an Slovakian club.

[Eric Clyde]

ah! Artmedia, it just said Petrzalka but I only seen them as Artmedia Bratislava.

[Elhombrebala]

Oh ok. They won on penalties against Partizan Belgrado which really came as a suprise.

[AgentZero]

so how does this work?......does one from each pot gets drawn?

[50!]

so how does this work?......does one from each pot gets drawn?

Aye that's it one team from each pot and you can't face a team from the same country as you unless your name is Liverpool.

Also I believe the draw will be on Sky Sports News.

[sukhy2004]

I bet u any money Man Utd will get Villareal.

[Eric Clyde]

looked at the skysports webpage and that said it will be on at 2pm on skysports news.

[-=[101st]=-]

Those pots are worked out via European seedings correct?

[Sweey]

By UEFA co-efficients, points awarded from performances in European competition over the last 5 years. Liverpool have no "country protection" and can draw Chelsea.

[Ismail]

Oh boy I want Chelsea to face an easy group like last year

[Elhombrebala]

Why they have a strong team.

[AgentZero]

i want to see chelsea against a Real Madrid or a Milan......i think they'll choke

[Charlie]

I hope Artemedia Bratislava win it!!

[Tallulah Belle]

i want to see chelsea against a Real Madrid or a Milan......i think they'll choke

Like your lot do quite often recentley! Remember Porto??

[Charlie]

Captain whats that wee green thing in ur display... i swear i think ive seen it b4...?

[Eric Clyde]

Really, I would like Chelsea to see Liverpool and get a bit of revenge.

For Rangers, I don't know who I would like to get out of Pot 1, there all good but I would probably say get Ajax out of Pot 2, and Rapid out of Pot 4.

[Hansel]

Captain whats that wee green thing in ur display... i swear i think ive seen it b4...?
i think its a "pokomon"

[Charlie]

i think its a "pokomon"

Aw right ok, thanks. Knew i seen it somehwere before but i thought it was in something like Family Guy or something.

[Figо10]

Maybe Chelsea will beat Liverpool twice again :D So it's four English teams in the Champions League again, two in the same group.

[dazmister]

i wonder whos gonna win group c.lol
not too many exiting groups either.

ps.who know who the last team in group b are.(thun)

[Gun_Runner]

Man Utd. have an easy group. as do Arsenal & Barca...AC's isnt the hardest either.

[Elhombrebala]

Well Madrid don't seem to have a tough poule.

[Charlie]

Rangers and Bratislava... couldnt put it better myself. Team that knocked us out. if only i could see them beating Rangers, but lets be honest... they wont.

[dazmister]

they dont.gun runner is youre team in there.

[Keyser Soze]

Im pretty confident with Chelsea's group, though hte biggest threat in my opinion is Liverpool!

[Gun_Runner]

my team are the Gers mate!! If we got beta off a Brataslava itd be the end of my life, coz Ive been slaggin every Celtic fan since youze got beat....least it wouldnt be 5-0 right enough.

[Figо10]

Roma, Valencia, Bayer, Monaco, Deportivo, Newcastle, Celtic, Dortmund all not in this year's Champions League :(

Wouldn't be as cracking as last season's I'm sure.

[dazmister]

i dont see use having any problems with any teams in the group stage to be honest.thank fcuk we didnt get u.

its gonna be good to see adriano hit a few thunderbolts at ibrox.

[Elhombrebala]

Im pretty confident with Chelsea's group, though hte biggest threat in my opinion is Liverpool!

Betis also is a threat for Chelsea and Liverpool

[dazmister]

dont worry mate.well mop up ibrox with them.

[Charlie]

my team are the Gers mate!! If we got beta off a Brataslava itd be the end of my life, coz Ive been slaggin every Celtic fan since youze got beat....least it wouldnt be 5-0 right enough.

Haha, aye i be careful about slaggin incase it comes back to haunt me too... but if Bratislava beats you youll get it tight from me haha :P

thing is... cant see them doing it!

[Gun_Runner]

I'd say we can beat Porto home and take something from them away...Inter will be difficult...and I hope! we beat Bratislava.

[markanddawn]

huge lpool fan ere, went to every home game in euro last year, we will beat chelsea at home and get a draw away, very confident! bring it on!

[Charlie]

Bringt it on is right! Cant wait for it all to KO!

[dazmister]

im quite glad with who weve got.cant wait to see wot novos really like against world class opposition.

[nikos24]

Lyon will go through, mark my words. As for Panathinaikos, a possible second finish is the best we can do.

[liechtenstein jim]

Remember Inter will have no fans in the San Siro when Rangers go to play them, so it'll be interesting to see how Inter perform in a strange atmosphere.

P.S Artmedia - all is forgiven! it would be the best day in history if you could give Rangers a beating, maybe 6-0 or 7-0! and make some of those gits eat their words!

[Eric Clyde]

When I saw that there was only 3 groups that Artmedia Bratislava could go into, I just knew it was gonna be group H and I am glad it was.

Bring them on!!!!

[dazmister]

dont worry im sure hell be closed down as quick a possible.(probobly stil score two hatricks).

[Charlie]

Well goodluck to Rangers anyway... and Bratislava!

[Viperized]

Man Utd. have an easy group. as do Arsenal & Barca...AC's isnt the hardest either.
Man Utd have another good team in their group and that is Villareal.

[dazmister]

lichkinskctininetine jim.that aint gonna happen u scruff.(is ur team there).

[Gun_Runner]

Man Utd. have the easiest grooup out everyone though I think.

[Elhombrebala]

Man Utd have another good team in their group and that is Villareal.

Benfica too.

[dazmister]

id say so too.never know though.

[dazmister]

one word,simao

[Charlie]

Diego Forlan... could he maybe haunt Utd?... Dont think so. But still dont believe that Celtic arent there! But then again... always next year.

[jthk2004]

Diego Forlan... could he maybe haunt Utd?... Dont think so. But still dont believe that Celtic arent there! But then again... always next year.
u may netta watch out hearts doing one place better than last season. they started well and i think they can challenge the old firm this season.

[Charlie]

Nah, cant see it mate. Hearts will go Pete Tong very shortly... its all Old Fim.

[Eric Clyde]

Man Utd. have the easiest grooup out everyone though I think.

I disagree. Arsenal have Ajax, Thun and Sparta Prague. Ajax wasn't the same team now, Thun are a very small team and Sparta Prague are not up to Arsenal's level either.

But it's quite funny of some of the draws, Bayern Munich meet Juventus in group stage again. Two English semi finalists face each other again, this time I think it will be Chelsea winning but Liverpool will still progress. AC Milan and PSV Eindhoven who faced in the semi final of last season. Inter Milan and Porto who faced each other in the last 16, and Rangers and Artmedia Bratislava who put out the 2nd best team in Scotland. :D

But I think Group B (Barca, Panathinaikos, Bremen and Udinese) and Group E (Milan, PSV, Schalke and Fenerbahce) are the two toughest groups and would be entertaining.

[Gun_Runner]

Hearts wont split the Old Firm, definetely not this season anyway.

[Hansel]

lichkinskctininetine
You need to go to school....

[chelsea11]

i think rangers have a tough one and chelsea's won't be a walk in the park, betis and chelsea to go through that one

[Eric Clyde]

u may netta watch out hearts doing one place better than last season. they started well and i think they can challenge the old firm this season.

The last time Hearts started this well, they where almost relegated. It's early days so lets not get too carried away with Hearts.

[Gun_Runner]

i was gonna say that poffeman.

[Gun_Runner]

But I think Group B (Barca, Panathinaikos, Bremen and Udinese) and Group E (Milan, PSV, Schalke and Fenerbahce) are the two toughest groups and would be entertaining.

u serious? lol

[Hansel]

i was gonna say that poffeman.
sorry :D

[jthk2004]

The last time Hearts started this well, they where almost relegated. It's early days so lets not get too carried away with Hearts.
maybe it's too early really, as they haven't faced the big 2 yet...

[Gun_Runner]

they'll never split Rangers & Celtic.

[Charlie]

True like

[Elhombrebala]

Group D, E and G are the toughest i think.

[Gun_Runner]

Reals & Rangers' are tougher than Man Utd's.

[Eric Clyde]

u serious? lol

Udinese maybe outsiders but they are a force, I wouldn't have wanted them in Rangers group, neither would I want Panathinaikos, I think us Rangers fans should know about this team and they have probably improved then, last season drawing with Arsenal twice despite goalkeeping errors then finished off a 4-1 win over PSV Eindhoven. Udinese beating last season Uefa Cup finalist with ease. I don't see Barcalona going through the group stages comfortably but they will go through on top with probably Udinese in second I imagine.

[Charlie]

I agree, Gun_Runner, i will mianly watch Chelsea and Rangers in the CL games! Easy!

[Eric Clyde]

they'll never split Rangers & Celtic.

The likes of Hearts and Aberdeen might win the league sometime in the future, I'm not saying like 5 years, It would be way longer that but even if one of them do win the league, Old Firm just comes back together.

[Ballymoor]

i would of put money on Liverpool getting Chelsea, tough match!
Rafa should know a thing or two about this Betis team, they look dangerous.. no worries about Anderleacht!

[Eric Clyde]

Yea, Chelsea and Liverpool was just waiting to happen. To be honest, I think Chelsea will come on top but I might be wrong as Liverpool has shocked us in the past but 2nd place I think is between Liverpool and Real Betis.

[Singh]

GROUP H
Inter Milan
Porto
RANGERS
Artmedia Bratislava

This is going to be difficult for rangers, dont think they have the quality to beat porto or inter :rolleyes:

Man utd should do well and get full points against villareal, lille and benfica.

[jthk2004]

no worries about Anderleacht!
u may wanna think again, ballymoor. anderlecht have some decent players in kompany (in jose's wishlist), tihinen (formerly west ham), goor, wilhelmsson (scored against england) and mbo mpenza. inter milan had some hard times against them last season...

[Elhombrebala]

Anderlecht once again got the best poule they could get.:lol:

[LarssonIsGhod]

Lets c bratislav put out as soon as possible Celtic deserve to b there more than them.. Barca to win the champions league

[Singh]

Anderlecht once again got the best poule they could get.:lol:

:unsure:

[Huw]

they'll never split Rangers & Celtic.
I will bet someone a thousand points they do !

Happy days for Arsenal fans - away trips to Amsterdam and Pargue - lucky sods !!!

[Eric Clyde]

This is going to be difficult for rangers, dont think they have the quality to beat porto or inter :rolleyes:

Man utd should do well and get full points against villareal, lille and benfica.

I disagree not that cause I'm a Rangers fan, but FC Porto are not the same team 2 seasons ago, they've lost there best players, in that period they have had about 4 different coaches. Inter Milan is different, I don't see Rangers beating them but you never know but I definately see Inter Milan taking top of the group with ease, but 2nd place I think is really between Porto and Rangers.

[Charlie]

Rangers will progress on through, in 2nd place... Inter top.

[LarssonIsGhod]

i dnt beleev tht rangers will come in 2nd. thy will definetly come in at least 3rd though.

[Gun_Runner]

Exactly ...good point about Porto daz, theyre not the same team that won the CL.

Ill bet any1 10000 points that Hearts wont split the Old Firm?

[Charlie]

i dnt beleev tht rangers will come in 2nd. thy will definetly come in at least 3rd though.

You dont believe it because you're a Celtic fan and refuse to see Rangers do well.

I can see them going on thru, to be honest... they CAN do it like

[LarssonIsGhod]

Its not just tht i just dnt think thy will do better thn porto or inter

[Rangers_Fureva]

Quite happy with our group:)

I would have loved it if we had Barca instead but Inter will do. Going to all 3 home games:D

I think:-

Inter-draw/home-lose/away

Porto-win/home-draw/away

Bratislava-win/home-win/away

:D

[Singh]

I disagree not that cause I'm a Rangers fan, but FC Porto are not the same team 2 seasons ago, they've lost there best players, in that period they have had about 4 different coaches. Inter Milan is different, I don't see Rangers beating them but you never know but I definately see Inter Milan taking top of the group with ease, but 2nd place I think is really between Porto and Rangers.

Porto have still got class players like costinha, Mccarthy, ricardo, diego and manice so there not quite finished yet. Like you say inter will probably go top of the group and its between rangers and porto for the second spot, rangers best beat the team that celtic lost to.

[Eric Clyde]

2 seasons ago when Rangers where in the CL that was a team of diddys who trailed like 20 points to Celtic and a disgrace to Rangers but this season I think we have improved while Porto is going down. But we never know but the good thing is that I'm a season ticket holder so at least i'm gonna see some competitive games.

[LarssonIsGhod]

who was it bratislav beat to get to th group stage ? ? ? (except celtic)

[paul main]

i belive rangers can do it but we will need a little bit of luck does anyone know when we play inter hopefully the last game of the group or somthing when they have already went though

[Charlie]

partizan belgrade, larssonIsGhod

[LarssonIsGhod]

cheers charlie9 . btw are all milan games beeing playd behind closed doors ?? ?? ??

[Charlie]

Inter Milan games i think, just

[Gun_Runner]

hopefully we play Inter first and last....first because its behind closed doors...so we may have a good chance....and last because if theyve already qualified I doubt theyll play a full line up.

[50!]

Well I never expected so many comments on us but oh well.

I think we have a very good group considering we could have been in replacing Anderlecht and playing Betis, Chelsea and Liverpool. We should have football after Christmas and I believe that if we play Inter in an empty stadium it could be very good for us. Also, I think it's almost certain the two matches against Porto will decide our fate. They are no where near what they were two seaosns ago so I remain optimistic.

Anyone got a full list of fixtures?

[Charlie]

^ True Gun-Runner

[LarssonIsGhod]

wat positions does evrywun think th teams will come in for tht group , i think :
1 inter
2 porto
3 rangers
4 bratislav

[Charlie]

I disagree, LarssonIsGhod. Itll be like this...

1. Inter 13pts
2. Rangers 10pts
3. Porto 6pts
4. Brats 0pts

More or less...

[Rangers_Fureva]

1) Inter
2) Rangers
3) Porto
4) Bratislava

[Joel]

I think maybe goal difference will decide the fate of Rangers and Porto, both have the same chance of going through IMO.

[LarssonIsGhod]

i agree there Joel_Best i think it will go to goal difference with rangers and porto

[Elhombrebala]

wat positions does evrywun think th teams will come in for tht group , i think :
1 inter
2 porto
3 rangers
4 bratislav

Think so too.

[Charlie]

I genuinly hope that Rangers do well.

P.s take free kicks on this site http://game.thefa.com/superfreekicks/

[paul main]

am quite happy with our squad at this moment apart from novo i think if we can get the defence together we will be a hard side to beat and gun runner are you a rangers fan mate cheers

[LarssonIsGhod]

Obviously in an ideal wurld it wood be
1. inter
4. rangers
4. porto
4. bratislav
lol :P

[Eric Clyde]

I think it goes down to aggregate before goal difference doesn't it?

[LarssonIsGhod]

I think tht for evry team except inter i have a genuine reason not to like thm lol

[Top Gun]

I dont think that Barcelona could have wished for a much easier draw.

[LarssonIsGhod]

Who did they get ?

[Top Gun]

Panathanikos
Werder Bremen
Udinese.

[dorval]

Benfica were quite lucky I must say. Group D - Manchester United - Villareal - Lille - Benfica. Very lucky indeed!

[LarssonIsGhod]

Barcelona will stroll throught tht group without evn playing a full first team

[Top Gun]

Thats True.

[LarssonIsGhod]

Of course king henrik will be th tope scorer of th champions league ! ! ! !

[LarssonIsGhod]

who does evrywun think will shine this champions league . i think c.ronaldo will do well

[50!]

13th September - Rangers v Porto

28th September - Inter Milan v Rangers

19th October - Rangers v Artmedia Bratislava

1st November - Artmedia Bratislava v Rangers

23rd November - Porto v Rangers

6th December - Rangers V Inter Milan

Rangers fixtures, Inter should have an empty stadium. Although they want to play at a neutral venue. :cool:

[LarssonIsGhod]

wat do you think th scores will b for th rangers games ??

[Eric Clyde]

Benfica were quite lucky I must say. Group D - Manchester United - Villareal - Lille - Benfica. Very lucky indeed!

I don't see how Benfica are lucky in this draw, cause I think Benfica can come 2nd but won't be easy, Villarreal won't be a walk the park you know, they are a brilliant team this season.

[Top Gun]

I think Man Utd SHOULD win the group. Second place will be close between Benfica and Villereal.

[reece]

Yeh Benfica have got a good side but so have Villareal,i haven't seen much of Lille.

[Top Gun]

No neither have I.

[codename 47]

Not a bad draw for Real,could have been alot worse,i think its good to start things off with the toughest match lyon away then take things from there,if real are to mount a serious challenge for the champions league,like i say they will, they should top this group no problem :D

[nikos24]

Not a bad draw for Real,could have been alot worse,i think its good to start things off with the toughest match lyon away then take things from there,if real are to mount a serious challenge for the champions league,like i say they will, they should top this group no problem :D

Got any idea on the fixtures of this group? Im looking very much forward to the Lyon-Oly games.. Hope Lyon beat Madrid.

[Eric Clyde]

In The Qualifiers, did Inter Milan play there home match with Shakhtar Donetsk indoors? or is it for when they qualified?

[nikos24]

Got it!

Match day 1, Olympiacos CFP - Rosenborg BK, Tuesday, September 13 , 2-0

Match day 2, Real Madrid CF - Olympiacos CFP, Wednesday, September 28 , 2-1

Match day 3, Olympique Lyonnais - Olympiacos CFP, Wednesday, October 19 , 2-1

Match day 4, Olympiacos CFP - Olympique Lyonnais, Tuesday, November 1 , 1-0

Match day 5, Rosenborg BK - Olympiacos CFP, Wednesday, November 23 , 1-1

Match day 6, Olympiacos CFP - Real Madrid CF, Tuesday, December 6 , 2-1

[nikos24]

Wow.. I wonder how Ibrox will feel like when Inter goes through that tunnel with the champs league song in the background.. ooohhh.. cant wait!

[50!]

Wow.. I wonder how Ibrox will feel like when Inter goes through that tunnel with the champs league song in the background.. ooohhh.. cant wait!

It will be like nothing you have ever seen before. ;)

We made a big effort when ManUre came two seasons ago, I think there will undoubtedly be more of the same.

[dee-dee]

arsenal in my opinion got a relatively simple group
utd got a difficult group, the portuguese champions and villarreal are decent as well

[codename 47]

Got any idea on the fixtures of this group? Im looking very much forward to the Oly-Madrid games. Hope Lyon wont knock us off. The way i see this (or hope it is!)

1- Madrid
2- Oly
3- Lyon
4- Rosenborg ,, just like the Rangers - Porto thing, it will depend on who can score more.. hopefully Rivaldo will get vital goals for us! i believe we can beat lyon at home, but then we must draw them away.

Olympiakos fan are you :cool:
i'm trying to find a full list of the dats and fixtures for this grup,all i know is the opening day fixtures are:Lyon-Real Madrid;Olympiakos-Rosenborg*

*i'm not sure who's at home in that match

[nikos24]

arsenal in my opinion got a relatively simple group
utd got a difficult group, the portuguese champions and villarreal are decent as well

You can say that. Arsenal shouldnt have such a difficult time. I expect though that Lille will give Man.U a hard time, just a feeling.

[Elhombrebala]

Group G Standings will be in my opinion
1. Real Madrid
2. Lyon
3. Olympiakos
4. Rosenborg

[Eric Clyde]

Group G Standings will be in my opinion
1. Real Madrid
2. Lyon
3. Olympiakos
4. Rosenborg

Thats the way I see it, Rosenborg losing all there games.

[Elhombrebala]

Maybe one draw against Olympiakos at home.

[PEM]

i would of put money on Liverpool getting Chelsea, tough match!
Rafa should know a thing or two about this Betis team, they look dangerous.. no worries about Anderleacht!


true chelsea will be tough but betis are also tough and dont doubt the underdog anderleacht they can pull out a a suprice!

[Top Gun]

Anderlecht have a good team intresting to see them play. I think that either Chelsea or Liverpool might cancel eachother out because Chelsea might win both matches against Liverpool and then Anderlecht could get some points off them and sneek the points.

[Usul]

GROUP C
Barcelona
Panathinaikos
Werder Bremen
Udinese

That pleases me.

[Charlie]

Of course king henrik will be th tope scorer of th champions league ! ! ! !

Id love to see that! Hope he does well when given the chance. King of kings after all!

[Elhombrebala]

I doubt that Larsson doesn't even start in the first-eleven off Barcelona, how is he going to be able to become topscorer.

[AgentZero]

blooody hell....i knew we were going to draw villareal and diego scorelan........hope he gets a good reception...i think we will be able to cruise through the group..

[Magpie4eva]

Liverpool and Chelsea...pretty fixed there

[Elhombrebala]

Liverpool and Chelsea...pretty fixed there

Not so fast, Betis isn't the easiest club you know.

[AgentZero]

indeed and we don't what the belgians can do.......i hope its Liverpool, Betis

[dazmister]

Betis have some quality players.

[england-pes4]

red for fist place blue for 2nd may be pretty obvious but theres my predictions.

Rapid Vienna

[methical]

im pleased with our draw and i knew liverpool and chelsea would have to play

[Humanfly]

Do you think Anderlecht will be so easy to beat?

Remember the Champions League from Man Utd in 2000 was it i think.
Group with Anderlecht, PSV, Man Utd and Dinamo Kiev

Man Utd - Anderlecht 5-1
Anderlecht - Man Utd 2-1

Do not underestimate the Belgian teams. Know everyone can see playing our talents Kompany and Vanden Borre. Finnaly...

[Eric Clyde]

5 years ago Humanfly, you can't really say there a threat when they beat Man Utd 5 years ago, but your right you shouldn't underestimate them.

[Elhombrebala]

Anderlecht stand up against Man United no way. They'll really get beat.

[Humanfly]

Wtf?
That team 5 years ago was the team that won the Champions League!
Cole, Yorke, Beckham, then all on their top level.
I'm not a supporter from Anderlecht, but i hope they can win or draw against Chelsea and Liverpool.
Will be good for Belgium football.

[Charlie]

hope to see entertaining matches. aswell as players score against their former clubs. will be real cool. ex. Viera against Arsenal, Mutu against Chelsea, Forlan against Man.Utd. will be great to watch. too excited it starts tomorow! :)

Exactly, Nikos. Cant wait for it to KO :D

[nikos24]

Exactly, Nikos. Cant wait for it to KO :D

18 hours to go bro :)

[Eric Clyde]

ohh I can't wait tomorrow, the group stages is always the best stage of the Champions League, I love in a wednesday having skysports on seeing all the results, though I wish I had sky. :(

[roseario7]

Rangers have no chance of getting even a uefa cup spot this year. look at the evidence, this year they have lost twice already, bothe games conceding three goals, and one of those defeats were at "fortress Ibrox" in the last 25 minutes.

They are sorely lacking in world class talent throughout there team, with the exception of dado prso, barry ferguson and maybe that mullet of a goal keeper!

But its not the individuals that matter on the european stage - just ask arsenal! I think that given the signings that the really big teams (Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan) have made this close season i think it shall be a massive wake up call for all british teams competing in the CL. Even bloody chelsea. Real Madrid and either Barca Or AC in the final.

You knows im right

Die hard Aberdeen Fan.

[nikos24]

u must be jokin' about ranger's chance. i doubt Porto would give them big headaches. Inter yes, to every team they cause problems. Artmedia pretty much should be easy wins.

Rangers Porto 3-2
Inter Rangers 1-0
Artmedia Rangers 1-1
Rangers Artmedia 2-2
Porto Rangers 1-1
Rangers Inter 1-1/2-1 (im sure inter wud have qualified and put on their "b" team)

Prso should score 3 to 4 goals at the most.

UEFA Cup is almost sure, they will battle for second. :)

[Eric Clyde]

If your on the internet, just have skysports soccer up, that updates you with the results, unless it's only on a saturday you can do it but may aswell check, if not that, you can use uefa.com, they have a minute-by-minute result.

This ain't Real Madrids year, it won't be for a couple of years now. Barcelona yes, and Chelsea maybe.

The skysports.com score thing does work in CL games, as far as i mind, Daz.
