Roma - Totti at the Lane!
Spurs

Jerry - that's a seriously tough group mate. Twente playing out their skin recently and Roma would be suicide away.

I'm not saying it would be easy, it would just be more fun than picking the worst teams. I was torn between Roma and Real Madrid :razz:

I'd like to see us get AC Milan, Panathanikos and anyone from pot for other than Haopel Tel Aviv (as I don't think they should be allowed to play in the EUROPEAN champions league).

I'd like to have a relatively inexperienced team from pot 4 who will likely finish bottom of the group, that way if we do struggle to qualify and end up 3rd we can still get some form of European football in the second half of the season

Its important IMO (and this is just my opinon) that we go all out for 4th spot and champs league again, i would rather that and than go far in the champs league but fail in prem this year because we will be able to strenthen with real quality again next year.

So for me it has to be a group of death like the one above, would be fantastic having these guys at the lane this year and assuming we did go out it would be in a blaze of glory!
