When are the champions league draws? Should be some really hard groups this year.

 

[caLLous]

At 4:45pm today.

It could be horrendous for City (and Celtic).

Could be horrible for anyone with the shitty seeding. Except arsenal who apparently have it easy every season

 

[CorNokZ]

Bayern, Juventus, City & Copenhagen

Please please please!

 

[caLLous]

Add Flamini to that squad list on the last page.

http://havearsenalspentanymoneyyet.com/ < still no, though.

 

[Aoami]

good player when fit, will do a job for arsenal

 

[caLLous]

I agree, it just amuses me how hard Arsenal are failing at this transfer lark. They might pull something out of the bag but I don't know who or where from. After saying he wanted to stay at RM, apparently Galatasaray have had a bid accepted for Di Maria...

 

[Aoami]

I can't see arsenal being that interested in di maria, i dont think their playing style suits 2 out and out wingers.

 

[Aoami]

alsoi didnt realise that eto'o will be on a free to chelsea, what a great bit of business that could prove to be

 

[megadave]

Why haven't Arsenal tried to sign him? A long with everyone else I guess.


Looks like it's official now, signed a one year deal which pleases me. 7m/year

 

[Billargh]

Eagerly awaiting him showing up on FF now!

 

[caLLous]

What a mess this draw is. It's about 15 times too drawn out, they can't open the fucking balls... bloody hell.

 

[megadave]

and all this "well they cant be drawn into group A B C D E or F so it has to be G or H, oh look another shit boring group!"

 

[DaGaffer]

Lol. Citeh get Bayern.

 

[Raven]

Did the draw get announced before the draw this year?

 

[megadave]

Arsenal didnt get their usual easy group

 

[caLLous]

Arsenal will get to play on the same field as Higuain at least.

Ouch Celtic, group H with Barca, AC Milan and Ajax.

 

[Olgaline]

auch FCK

 

[caLLous]

Chelsea should top Group E no worries.

 

[Raven]

Same as UTD, hopefully shitty struggle. Arsenal really need to spend to have any hope of getting out of that group.

 

[Billargh]

Celtic and Arsenal are fucked.

 

[DaGaffer]

Has four European Cup winners in the same group ever happened before?

 

[caLLous]

Arsenal are better than Marseille and Napoli and they *should* get through in second if Arsene blows the cobwebs off of his little man-purse and spends a bit of money.

 

[Aoami]

Dunno why people are saying Arsenal are fucked. Sure Dortmund is a tough game but they are better than Marseille and Napoli. Id fancy them to beat Dortmund in London as well.

No faith in Copenhagen?

 

[caLLous]

Not in that group. <3

 

[eksdee]

Arsenal better than Napoli? Really don't think so personally. I'd say they're on par at best.
