I'm amazed how many of their fans don't even have Arteta in the top 10
They usually say that Kane can't be considered a PL great, because he hasn't won the league. Surely that rule applies to arteta?

Oh, wait! They are making up the rules as they go, to suit their bias.

I'm actually positively surprised by most of the posts in that thread.

9/10 rates Conte highly, and a lot are very realistic about Arteta as well.

Sporting:


Very even group. We lucked out in the first 2 pots but got the toughest team from Pot 4. Anything could happen.

Yeah not a terrible draw for sure….Benfica on the other hand :D

i'm worried with ours we could easily get 2nd or 4th if we crap the bed.

Super stoked about our group this year. Awful time to sell Nunes.

Definitely possible for Sporting to advance out of this, but the club needs a few additions and to hopefully be injury free when these fixtures come about. Getting OM in pot 4 stinks.

Frankfurt


Tottenham get battered, everywhere they go....

In my opinion, the group is the best thing that could have happened to us.

Good opponents, but they aren't grenades like City, PSG or Real, but at the same time none where you say, "Well, you just have to win there..." like it would have been, without arrogance, in Haifa, Pilsen or Copenhagen... .I'm

really looking forward to it

The Tottenham fans mostly speak of a dream group, an EL group or the possibility of resting players for the PL games during the CL group games. The few voices admonishing caution are laughed at. I've rarely wished for a club to be fourth. I hope we get in shape in time and spank their butts.

Well, from their point of view that is actually correct, with the exclusion of the supposed arrogance. On paper, we were one of the easiest opponents in Pot 1 and Sporting weren't the worst from Pot 3 either. Marseille, as a Pot 4 opponent, is, I think, underestimated per se.

They've never played at the Waldstadion... I think they'll just finish second and get a point against us overall

Isn't it kind of arrogant to assume that the supporters of a rival club would be arrogant if - after a few minutes of reverential pause - they don't see Eintracht quite on the level of Real, Man City and Bayern?

I don't care if the Hotten Totten take us seriously up on their island or not. The more they underestimate us, the better for us.

In Pot 2 we could have gotten completely different calibres. Of course, Tottenham has to be taken seriously, but Juve or Barca would have been completely different house numbers.

We took revenge against West Ham in May for 1976, this time we will take revenge on Tottenspurs for leaving in 1982. How could we not extend our early lead back then and then conceded a late goal. Now the time has finally come to erase this blemish......


...First leg at White Hart Lane was lost 0-2. After all, Tottenspur's Ray Clemens played in goal, Steve Perryman, Ossi Ardiles, Steve Archibald and the legendary Glen Hoddle; he was a real football god.

We probably would have shot the thing with our Grabi as a team back then. Catching the 2-1 in the 80th minute was the end because of the away goal rule. Nevertheless, the games against the Hammers and Tottenspurs were the highlights of the respective European tour. Failed once in March, the other time in April. This year on May 18th finally won the thing again. Next year the European tour will, with a bit of luck, end on June 10th in Constantinople, in the worst case on May 17th in the semi-finals. got a good feeling I even got to see the second leg against Spurs to the end - my son wanted to hatch at North West Hospital. He waited until the next day + now proudly carries the Eintracht Adler on his arm - in London.

Such data is remembered, I hatched during a World Cup qualifying game from D for the World Cup in Switzerland. D became world champion for the first time a year later. It's been a long, long time, I don't know anything, was too young.

Now two wins, like against West Ham, would be my dream for the group games against Tottenspurs.

My daughter will forgive me, she worked for Spurs Academy for a long time. Now she's wearing Eintracht shirts from the finals in the fitness studio in London, so she's cleansed, and for years she's loved drinking her Äppler and a Mispelchen in the Seckbacher Rad. That just by the way

OM


find the draw not too bad, I expected worse. There's a way to do something for me.

So we're going to end up having Ronaldo and Malinovskyi at Vel, one with Sporting, the other with Tott!

For me the ideal classification:
Marseille
Sporting
Tottenham
Frankfurt

I think however that Sporting this year is weakened: loss of Sarabia (rp at PSG), Palhinha and Matheus Nunes. For me without a qualitative leap (or in front with the arrival of CR7, or in the middle) it is the weakest team in the group (and you know that I support them). Defensively it's catastrophic with 3 goals conceded against Braga and Porto (3-3 and 3-0).

The logical classification would be:
Tottenham
Frankfurt
Marseille
Sporting

It is ultimately a fairly open group behind Tottenham

Tottenham remain favorites and for the others it's open.

We should be able to improve

I think it's fair to say that we got one of the best draws from pot one and a lot of people on here are underrating Eintracht Frankfurt.

The second half of the season was them entirely focusing on the Europa League. They knocked out a resurging Barcelona side and knocked out West Ham who was also focusing on Europa league.

Yeah they'll be tough, no easy games in that group, all pretty even I would say. Just realised this morning that Kostic signed for Juve a couple of weeks ago, he'll be a big loss for them.

There's no clear favourite in our group that's probably why people might view it as easy. Personally I feel it's the hardest group to predict.

Might be the case but so far this season they've been absolutely hammered by Bayern, drawn with Cologne and Hertha Berlin who finished 18th last season

Yeah, wouldn't be at all surprised if we cruised it, but could equally see us slumping to 3rd knowing Conte's record in Europe. There are no scary fixtures in there but no easy ones either and the 3 away games will be in pumping atmospheres.

As someone else said, it's reminiscent of our 'easiest' previous CL group with Monaco, Leverkusen and CSKA in which we did rubbish and got dumped into the Europa.
