Pretty sure the fixtures are based on seedings so pot 1 v Pot 4 game 1, Pot 1 v Pot 2 game 2 and Pot 1 v Pot 3 game 3...,which means you can work out the fixture list

Nope there’s all sorts of reasons why it’s not that simple.

Nope. they place the teams in the right position after the draw - its not simply by pots.

It has to do with stadium availability and TV (rotating Tuesday/Wednesday matches).

I'm up for holland. Never been!

I've been and never going back. Went to a hash café ordered two of the strongest. Ended up missing my train and had to get a £500 Euro taxi back to Germany where I was staying ?

I saw England vs Portugal at PSV's place in Euro 2000. Great, compact stadium. Loads of atmosphere.

Our home matches at Wembley were on Wednesday in the last two seasons. And i think the first year we were in it the home legs were a Wednesday.

I would have though it would be pretty easy to get tickets in the Barca Home end. They rarely ever sell out, whether they’ll be stricter on English purchases for this game I don’t know

It was a long time ago, but I managed to get tickets easily to a CL quarter final in Barcelona on the day of the game, for around face value - that was the season that ended with Rivaldo writing us a nice letter, I think. That was against Panathanaikos - so we might be a bigger draw, need tighter security, I don't know.

Fantastic group to look at but it's gonna be tough. I thought we'd get knocked out last year at the group stage. Some fantastic games, we've gotta play the best teams to better ourselves. Lads it Barcelona
