Come on lads, we can get through the group. We all moaned last year at the draw and look what happened. This is tough, very tough but those games at Wembley will be awesome, just wish we were still at WHL for them but the 90,000 at Wembley will be brilliant....

AND..... do we really think Madrid and Dortmund will be happy to draw us, they wont - fact..! they will be just as frustrated they are in the group of death. I think we can get 2nd behind Madrid but we need 4 points from Dortmund which is possible...... lets not hang ourselves yet but hopefully we start with a home game against Apoel and get the 3 points to get us on the way

Madrid needs to be 3rd and 4th with Dortmund in between, hopefully this is the plan.

We do need Aurier though as Trippier against Bale and Ronaldo will be a ridiculous scoreline

COYS!
Hard to see Madrid unhappy at any draw. They looked a class above Barca in the 2 Super Cup games.

Can't see us getting through that group. Just have to remember to lose to Apoel so we don't have to go and play in the Europa league.

Might as well concentrate on the league.

Anyone with a bit of a brain able to work out the game order?

Just praying for a home tie first game.

If we can get in Aurier, Keita & Barkley before the TW closes, I'd be very confident that we could get through to the knock stages at the expense of Dortmund.

Hope Bale and Modric get good receptions. They are probably the best 2 players we have had in last 20 years, truly world class.
