    Now that we have made it official - let's hope for a good draw tomorrow. The video link will be on the UEFA website for those interested in watching.

    I'm hoping we draw Olympiakos, Steaua and Roma - so we at least have one set of exciting games, without qualifying being too difficult.

    Personally I want Barca - just to beat henry, but we will start in a different pot to them.

    Teams 9-16 are the second pot - all are very difficult draws, so the key will be getting easier teams in the third (17-24) and fourth pot (25-32)

    Code:
    Rank	Team	Coefficient rating	Draw Pot
    1	 Milan	133.808	                    1
    2	 Barcelona	119.374
    3	 Liverpool	112.618
    4	 Internazionale	107.808
    5	 Arsenal	104.618
    6	 Real Madrid	104.374
    7	 Manchester United*	99.618
    8	 Chelsea*	99.618
    9	 Valencia	95.706	            2
    10	 Lyon	99.374
    11	 Porto	89.107
    12	 Sevilla /  AEK Athens**	87.374
    13	 PSV Eindhoven	81.995 
    14	 Roma	78.808
    15	 Benfica	67.107
    16	 Werder Bremen	63.640
    17	 Celtic***	62.064	            3
    18	 Schalke 04	60.640
    19	 Stuttgart	58.640
    20	 Steaua	55.255
    21	 CSKA Moscow	53.920
    22	 Sporting Lisbon	52.107
    23	 Lazio	51.808
    24	 Marseille	51.706
    25	 Rangers	47.064	            4

    Just curious. Can anyone tell me how this coefficient works? ie. Why we're 5th in Europe in this draw, but Chelsea, who admittedly have had much more RECENT success both domestically and internationally (barring our finals run of course) are 8th? Just curious what goes into this.

    Our finals run is exactly why we are 5th. They haven't made it that far yet, and CL performance counts a lot more than domestic performances in these rankings.

    I think this takes into account results from the last five seasons, not just recent form.

    And does anyone have the direct link for the draw tomorrow?

    the easiest draw would probably be something like benfica, steau, and rosenborg.

    im not sure what the hardest would be. maybe lyon/sevilla, marseille/celtic,and rangers/olympiakos

    Personally I would like 1 hard and 2 easy teams. Keep us on our toes, while still waltzing through qualification.

    Valencia/Roma/Lyon
    Steaua - I get the feeling barca will get this easy pick
    Rosenborg/Besiktas

    The teams in the 3rd pot are still extremely competitive.

    PSV for revenge would be nice. If not, as a yank I'd like to see us vs. Benfica and Freddy Adu.

    Steau seem to be the easiest draw from Pot 3, but it would be interesting to see us against Marseille.

    Pot 4 has a lot of bogey teams imo, taking into consideration the weather conditions and hostility of the areas. Not to say this isn't also a factor in the previous pots, it should just be noted that whoever we draw in Pot 4 won't be a nice stroll around the pitch. I'd be nervous if we drew either Shakhtar Donetsk or Fenerbahce.

    I did a fake draw using a random int generator. I think I followed all the draw rules.

    A-------------B------------C------------D
    Milan---------Inter--------Chelsea-------Real
    Werder-------PSV---------Porto---------Benefica
    Celtic--------Schalke------Steaua-------CSKA
    Olympiacos---Fenerbahce--Slavia--------Rangers

    E--------------F-----------G------------H
    Arsenal--------Liverpool----ManUre------Barca
    Sevilla/AEK----Roma--------Valencia-----Lyon
    Stuttgart------Sporting----Marseille----Lazio
    Rosenborg-----Shakhtar-----Dynamo-----Besiktas

    I say give us all the hard ties. Its the only time that we play out of our skins. Otherwise, we cruise as if we're supposed to win, fail to score, concede a late goal :eek:

    Okay, Ill take at least one hard team, the rest can be "easy".

    So those of you at work can eat lunch at your desk and watch.

    We can't draw Barca btw, as we are in the top 8.
