What's wrong with Qabala? They're the worst team in the comp!

You complain if we get good teams, you complain if we get bad teams. Travelling for ONE game in the group stage is hardly a problem.

I don't think I can face the trolling if we lose. :oops:

Sorry if this has been said before, but any idea when we find the dates out? Could definitely handle a nice earlier autumn trip to Monaco...

Please not Qarabag away on the 5th November (before Arsenal) or 26th November (before Chelsea).

When does the schedule get compiled? Do the matches not automatically fall on days depending on how they fell in the draw or not?

well Anderlect, Monaco & Qarabag is going to be a pretty tough group if we hoped to come top using the squad players. really feel if we want to progress we need to finish top spot, then hope we get kind draws.

with our squad at the moment this would be our best chance to get a trophy and best hope for the hope of a CL spot, no CL 2016/17 means finding a quality replacement for Lloris and Eriksen

Qarabag is a naughty one but other than that it's a pretty nice draw. Not too much travel and against teams we know of! Monaco won't be the side of last season but a wicked away trip!

The Azerbaijan game will be our first game and will be away, it will be a few days before the Palace at Home game.

Atleast we will get it out of the way first :p

why not, it will be a chance for our 1st teamers to put their feet up at home and watch it on TV.

Monaco and Anderlecht games will feature the big guns not Qarabag.

Surely we could beat Qarabag with the kids? Literally would keep the whole 18 for the following game at home and would be great experience for the kids. Would probably get more effort from the kids for that tie than we would from the first team anyway.

I've don't see how Eriksen, in the last 6 months, has shown that he is easily deserving of a Champs League team first XI.. he needs to step it up consistently again for us before I'd bracket him with Lloris, imo.

We say this every season but the first-teamers always go on the trip anyway.

Came to post this too, the overrating of Eriksen on here is criminal.

We are his level at the moment, and that doesn't look like changing for a very long time.

If anything we are more likely to replace him than he is to get a big money move to an elite side
