Group H is a killer!
There should be some very entertaining games from that group this year.
Not an easy group for Liverpool either...
They should qualify, but whether that's in first or second place is the question.
I can't believe Utd have drawn Villarreal and Celtic AGAIN.
Annoying, however I'm very confident of getting through and winning the group.
Going to go up to Old Trafford for the Celtic game seeing tickets always go on general sale for Champs League group games

I agree that H is an absolute killer.
Mind you Chelsea and Man Utd will be happy with their groups i think.
Arsenal have a few hostile environments to go to such as Turkey and Ukraine but should still go through.
However Liverpool with Atletico, Marseille and PSV i can see them struggling with the way they started the season so they will struggle if they don't buck up their ideas.

Group H looks like there's some good games in there, could well be worth keeping an eye on, my moneys on Real & Juv with Zenit missing out (only just tho).
Chelsea & Arsenal have easy groups, both of them should walk it, Utd's looks slightly more difficult but they should still come through it without trying too hard, but Liverpool get ready for some tears on Merseyside, cause that group looks difficult.
Considering how much they struggled last night (they were s lucky), and how they only got through the group stages last season by the skin of thier teeth (and this group looks tougher than last season IMO), I think this time they might fall at the group stage hurdle this time round.
TBH tho, other than D & H, the CL groups seem a little "light weight" this year, can see Utd and Chelsea going the distance again this campaign, anyone else reckon we'll any more all-"English" affairs in the semi's or final this year?

We should get past the group stage with ease, Villarreal aren't that good and Aalborg are crap, the only challenging match should be Celtic @ Celtic park.
As for the other groups, I agree Group H is a killer...
I feel sorry for Bate Borisov, their first champions league and there going to get battered IMHO.
Chelsea and Arsenal should get through, and it'd be grate to see Liverpool crash out at the group stage (in 4th place, then they cant get in the UEFA Cup).

I think we can dominate this year again.
Liverpool probably will lose out, but you never know.
Group H is going to be fun to watch.
SAF already said he likes that all the games are pretty close-by and not a long flight.

I don't see why everybody is saying Liverpool have had a bad start to the season.
They might not be playing like expected but they're still joint top of the table and have more points than Utd

I watched most the of game last night and I swear, it was dire.
Liverpool don't look exciting in any area, and that's pretty shitty considering just the strike partnership cost 40M-ish.
All scousers are saying that that it's the sign of a good team that plays badly and still wins, the rest of us are saying that when they start playing badly (ie losing) you'll realise this IS ACTUALLY the best it's gonna get.
BTW - Start of the season (the first 3-4 games) don't mean squat, Liverpool had a good start last season, and Utd had a stinker (2 points from 3 games!), but look how it ended up.

Ye i phrased it wrong, they haven't had a bad start, they won both games and got through.
What i meant to say was that they have been playing poorly but still go results.
Just thought i'd clear it up.

As far as tough groups go i'd say it's Liverpools and Arsenals groups.
Just saw a news report about Romes Olympic stadium, theres been riots almost every time united has played there, going to be entertaning if they get through lol.
I think the Italians are just bitter because Serie A is shit with perhaps the exception of Inter.

Inter are the flagship of Italy at the moment, notice no big name players going there(Italy)?
UEFA said if Roma fans cause trouble again they'll move the final somewhere else.
As for the draw, I'm happy all British clubs(not chelsea!) look like they'll go through, Liverpools group looks tough but I'd rather play the "bigger" teams sooner, as that's what the champions league is all about, I think also Man utd may find their group, a tougher group than it looks but should still come through it.
Money on an all english final...without chelsea!
