[bruhnaldo]

Juve + Valencia lol we out

[SvN]

We should be beating Valencia. Looking forward to the matches against Juve.

[niko_cee]

Group D should just be disbanded with a couple of best 3rd place spots allocated to the other groups.

Some 'tasty' aways for Liverpool, if you're into than sort of thing, and the least inhospitable trip in modern football to the nonces of FC Neymar.

[Ian]

We're getting our arses felt in that group.

[niko_cee]

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Europe, Steven Gerrard's Rangers™ march on despite being reduced to 9 men (with Morelos seemingly booked for kicking the ball away an then sent off for dissent). lol. As they were playing Russians I'm going to assume it was all above board.

Ejaria running riot up there.

[bruhnaldo]

We should be beating Valencia. Looking forward to the matches against Juve.

Also should be beating Brighton, soooo it's like yaaaa knowwwww....

[mugbull]

Barcelona and Inter. Fantastic.

[Waffdon]

Rangers are about to do 2008 all over again. That’s some effort getting through with 9 men for half the match. Celtic should be rubbing their hands for Sunday though.

[Mike]

Liverpool to top their group

City to do the same. Spurs and United to come third.

[mugbull]

Liverpool won't be making the knockouts

[Pleb]

If we don't get out of that group then that's Mourinho well and truly fucked.

[-james-]

Red Star are going to rack up one hell of a negative goal difference.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We're getting our arses felt in that group.

Young Boys finally getting revenge.

[niko_cee]

In other draw related news United have got Derby at home in the league cup, which must about their 400th cup meeting at Old Trafford.

Liverpool Reserves v Chelsea Reserves obviously the big ticket tie of the round.

[Pleb]

Burnley has royally fucked it.

Oh well Arselol to win Europa then.

[niko_cee]

Arsenal and Chelsea should, theoretically, provide our best collective wafer cup showing for years.

It's a tough group, but Liverpool have the best order of fixtures possible - PSG (H), Napoli (A), Red Star (H & A), PSG (A) and Napoli (H).

They should probably piss it (and will if they Special European Night PSG first up) but not a single fuck will be given if they don't.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Europa League pot 4 is a wondrous place. I'd love Dudelange, but I know my history so it'll be a horrible 2-1 defeat at Sarpsborg 08 in a snowstorm.

[John]

Dudelange and their appearances in qualifying brackets have been keeping the Dude Love theme tune in my head for about fifteen years now.

[Raoul Duke]

The Dudelange abides, man

[Mazuuurk]

I can never get over the fact that some Swiss fucker thought it was a good idea to name their Football Team "Young Boys".

[Mazuuurk]

Speaking of which, I just saw this:

1035244954451419136

[Dave.]

When I first saw the group draw, I had to look at Man United's group twice. I saw it written as Juventus, Man United, Valencia, Young Boys. I thought at first the writer had a brain freeze and gone from writing out the group to writing out a version of Man United's back four. :cab:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Chelsea
PAOK Salonika
BATE Borisov
MOL Vidi

That is the single greatest group we have ever been drawn into.

[ItalAussie]

We've got a tough group. I'd have liked an easier second seed.

[Pen]

If Juve and United can’t get past Valencia there’s little point getting into the knockouts anyway.
