Woolwich might have easiest group in UCL history, no exaggeration

Don't they always tend to get easy European draws?

Only to fall at the first hurdle beyond that?

Man City's group is a piece of piss, they'll barely raise a sweat.

Newcastle's group is actually a pretty exciting one for them, lots of big glamour ties and they'll enjoy the experience.

Making third will be difficult mind let alone qualification.

I hope Newcastle carry on their poor start to the season with their tough games, carry that poor form and dented moral i9n addition to their thin squad depth), into the Champions League to only compound their suffering further.

Dumped out 4th in their group then limp through the back half of the season in middle table.

Only for FFP sanctions to cuck their filthy plans. (ok, this last part was fantasy)

Rather them dumped out with 4th or finish 3rd and go in to Europa so they have more games?

They might enjoy a run in the Europa knock out stages.

I don't want them to enjoy watching their side. They will be hyped up hosting those big teams at the Sports Direct arena - so hopefully concede early goals and knock the stuffing out of them.

God help us. There was something comforting to know that the only real conspiracy theory that could arise from a CL draw was whether the balls were either ice cold or very hot when they were waiting to be picked out by some celebrity. The theory being particularly prevalent when your team got the group of death.

I can’t even begin to think how many conspiracy theories are going to be created once fans realise that the draw will be in the hands of computer programmers etc. Especially if the contract is won by The Post Office or Siemens.

 

[Starks]

Why? They almost got knocked out by Porto.

Different pressures when it comes to the CL, plus they are away in the 2nd leg as well - gonna be tough.

Because I think they're much better than Bayern Munich.

Doesn't matter about almost. They got through and that's all that matters.

Woolwich will rip this Bayern team apart. Unless of course they sit back, frustrate Woolwich and look to counter with Kane. Which I doubt they'll do.

Either way, City or Madrid do beat this Woolwich team so no real worries.

 

[Sean]

2nd Leg in Munich might be the deciding factor

 

[Jimmy D]

Would be shocked if Woolwich got knocked out to this Bayern team tbh.

However, if they don't, they would play Madrid or City just 3 or so days before they play us at the Lane.

I think form and reputation mostly goes out the window once you reach the QF of the Champions League.

 

[Jimmy D]

No he fucking can't. Carded

Not even to show us his CL winners medal?

Ruined. My. Day.

 

[Stlducks]

Woolwich should be favored over Bayern but we have seen Woolwich fall apart in Europe before.

I get what your saying but as much as i hate to say it teams like Bayern and Real Madrid are what you call Champions league pedigree, they live for the Knock out games and their league form means nothing when it comes to the CL! I predict a close home leg and then Bayern will tear them apart at Home,
It will be even sweeter though when its a Harry Kane hat trick knocks them out!

 

[Brian Fantana]

I'll buy a Bayern shirt with Harry on the back if he knocks them out.

They might not beat the scum. When have Bayern ever done anything good for us (apart from take Dier)?

 

[Brian Fantana]

Some good ties there. It's a good competition nowadays.

We'll see how good Leverkusen are.

 

[Sean]

Yeah they have let us down in the past but hopefully the top scorer from North London turns up over the 2 legs.

 

[Tomo]

Liverpool will have to be big favourites in that one.

 

[rwb2000]

Some of you may have blotted out the memory, but it's not the first time we have relied on Bayern to do us a solid ...
Last time I nearly kicked the TV in. This time I will not be watching, just praying that Harry does the business, as it will just be a good spectator sport. Fuck the 5th spot, fuck them off back to Woolwich.
