If it's not Lokomotiv who are overwhelmingly the weakest top seed then I'd love us to get Barcelona and then Ajax in pot 3.

Obviously Lokomotiv will be the easiest game in Pot 1 - anyone else we face will be favourites to beat us and win the group. Out of everyone there I would prefer to avoid Real the most, and probably Juve too. Have a feeling we'll get PSG for some reason.

Liverpool are due a tougher group after one of the easiest routes to the final that I can remember last year. Would love to see them draw Real Madrid, with Sergio Ramos scoring the winner at the Kop end and then Salah swapping shirts with someone at the end of the game to set off the biggest scouse meltdown since....er....May.

Man Utd will get Lokomotiv, PSV and AEK. Take a look at their history of group stage draws in the last 10-15 years, including their route to the Europa League final in 2017. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C._in_European_football#Matches

Barcelona for me please. whatever for the rest.

 

[Pimp_Spur]

sorry if this has already been asked but do we get the dates o the games today too?

 

[dirtyh]

don't mind who we get but just hoping for a balanced draw for once, regardless of how ridiculously optimistic that is. Sick to death of seeing united and the scousers always getting piss easy groups simply because the draw is rigged.

What do u mean rigged?

probably too strong a word but if something happens consistently enough the idea that it's just chance becomes less and less likely.

I don't mind who we get, I just hope it's not the group of death again. It's getting a bit old being in the toughest group

 

[nattydredd]

Barcelona
Tottenham
Ajax
Inter

Based on nothing but pure guess work.

 

[jurgen]

I don't believe it is possible at this level to have an easier draw than the scousers got last year.. so the conspiracy would have to go pretty hard to make something equivocal happen this time around.

Swag competition.

We got an favorable draw in 2016/17 to be fair, really should have qualified from it.

Why do people say this? There is no such thing as an "easy" game in European football. Our recent European campaigns have shown that well.

It's the whole idea of televising the draw meant to prove it isn't rigged(pulling the teams names at random)?
