The seeding is very wrong in the CL draw IMO.   It would be much fairer if the champions of a each country went into pot one, perhaps those of lesser leagues into pot 2.   Then those countries with 4 teams like England, the 2nd, 3rd & 4th placed should go into the corrensonding pots.    Liverpool should not be rewarded with pot 1 status for finishing 4th in their league.

Liverpool are rewarded with pot 1 status for their record in Europe. There's not many teams can match 1 win, 1 runner up and 1 semi finalist in the past 4 years.

How are Arsenal a top seed?

Anyway, I'd prefer if the European Cup was limited to 2 teams at most from every country. The League Champions, and maybe the Cup winners. Forget the 3rd and 4th place team.

I was at a Juventus v Real Madrid last 16 game a few years ago in Turin. Great craic altogether, although if you do go don't get stuck in the Curva beside the MAdrid Fans. They were absolute w**kers that night. Throwing stuff in on top of us. I got hit with a flare, and it burnt my Jacket shoulder.

No harm AZ its about time you threw out that denim jacket they are only considered fashion in Offaly

Group F looks the hardest to me, followed by the Madrid (H) and Liverpool (D) affairs.

I would, but the Iron Maiden patch on the back is just too cool.

First port of call is the season tickets/execs for a united end ticket. Ill prob go to aalborg away so will have credit for that. Otherwise its calling in the favours from last time, there will be plenty of united in the home ends(again)

Do you not remember me telling you last week I'd won Ford Sponsors Tickets for the match of my choice? Miraculously I won these tickets for the Celtic Man Ure game in 2006, class sights, midway up the bottom tier of the Stand on the half way line, fantastic view of Naka's free kick! ;D

Yes Tone, and you never replied to my question - are you going to do the decent thing and bring me?, you can even show me your name on the wall.
