Would absolutely love to draw Real Madrid. Chance to line up against Luka and Bale would be superb.

Don't...just don't.

There's not much point of playing EL if Poch will play a skeleton side in the latter rounds like Dortmund away

Depends on where we are in the league.

Russian season just finished
CSKA Moscow champions - go straight into group stages
2nd FK Rostov - go into qualification round

Zenit miss out and go into the EL

I will be very interested to see how well Rostov do and whether they can win their play-off - seems unlikely as they'll have to win two qualifiers as an unseeded team. Third qualifying round they'll have Shakhtar, Ajax, Anderlecht, Fenerbache or Sparta Prague, and even if they win that they could get Man City, Villarreal or Porto. Europa group stage seems like a more realistic aim for them. Meanwhile if they'd turned one defeat into a win they'd be top seeds for the UCL group stage, because infinite wisdom of UEFA.

We are going to be in the group of death because we are in it.

There'll be some pot 1 & 2 clubs praying we won't be the pot 3 team in their group without a doubt

Would love Real Madrid in the group stages, as long as Modric and Bale play. Gives them a chance to say goodbye to White Hart Lane too.

We won't be playing at White Hart Lane. Champs League games next season are very likely to be played at Wembley before we move there fully for the 2017/18 season - announcement expected this week according to some papers.

Will be at Wembley though by the looks of it. European nights at the Lane are done, sadly.

On phone, so the text was too small and I was too lazy to magnify/ click the link. Sorry, I shall endeavour to do so from now on .

It looks like we are going to be 3rd seeds in the Group Stages of the Champions League.
With 15 clubs so far above us in the UEFA coefficients out of the definite group contenders (These include Leicester and CSKA Moscow who although with lower coefficients, will be top seeds as Champions of the 7 top countries).
Only if Man City, Shakhtar Donetsk and Porto all fail to qualify from the Play-offs (Shakhtar start in the 3rd Qualifying Round) will allow us into the 2nd Pot!!
So, since Leicester cannot be drawn with us in the same group, preferable for our group seeders would be CSKA Moscow!

TOP SEEDS: Barcelona, Real Madrid, Leicester City, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Benfica, PSG and CSKA Moscow.
DEFINITELY IN SECOND POT: Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Arsenal, Dortmund and Napoli
PROVISIONALLY IN SECOND POT: Leverkusen, Basel and Spurs
IN SECOND POT IF THEY QUALIFY FROM PREVIOUS ROUNDS: Man City, Porto, Shakhtar (provided one of the other two fail to qualify)
