Well, the two "groups of death" were going to be whichever group got Chelsea from pot 2 and Werder Bremen from pot 3, and they all land with Barcelona. Going to be some excellent drama coming out of Group A.
Time to move discussion to the post-draw CL thread here: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=399874
Chelsea easily got the hardest group out of the English contingent, Man Utd got the easiest. We should come through ours, although we always seem to struggle when we play in Russia. Hopefully we'll get the group stage qualification done early like last year!
I think Arsenal has the second group of death to be honest. You guys are CL finalists, Porto are recent CL winners, CSKA are recent UEfa Cup winners and HSV are one of the dark horses. Not going to be that easy to say the least although its certainly doable to finish first. Also, Bremen could possibly pull an upset over Chelski and Barca
Those idiots still haven't deleted or locked that post. You gotta' love the idiocy of the average sperrrzzzzz fan
Umm that group looks similar to the one they finished last in, even has one of the same teams. Chelsea's group has to be the group of death. But look at it this way even if Chelsea come 3rd, atleast we know for sure Sp*rs won't win the UEFA cup. Best case senerio for Arsenal Fans, I think so.
i think we have the ability to win the group but alot of people seem to be underestimating hamburg. i think they will be the surprise package this year and wouldnbt be surprised if they qualified
He didn't even have the common courtesy to bin it so we could bring it back in here from the dead and enjoy it for the rest of the year....
well....seems as if you guys have your hands full this time around!!!it does look one of the toughest grpups, but nothing compared to what chelsea got.
