*Opening group games 16/17 September. *

Arsenal have a tough draw - it’ll be tough for them to get through compare to Manchester United who got an easier draw

:smokin2:

Man U :yukh: :yukh:

I think the most interesting matches wil be

1) Juv vs. Galatasaray
2) AC MIlan vs Ajax
3) Arsenal vs Inter

Fraudz on paper Arsenal against Inter seems a huge match up but Arsenal never really seem to perform in Europe so I think it’ll be rather one sided home and away - Though the Ajax VS AC Milan matches will be pretty big - and also of course the Juventus - Gakatsary matches.

:smokin2:

never really seem to perform?
absolute statements are so easy to kill that I wont even try ;)

looking forward to the new season :k:

Group D seems to be the toughest one with three top teams on show, Juve, Sociedad and Galtassary.

Its true Fraudz! They have completely failed at home, they have not beaten sides with 10 men and not even really up against the toughest of opposition either. I mean us (Newcastle) and Arsenal had the same amount of points in the final group stage last season - they have Ajax and Valencia whereas we(Newcastle) had Barcalona and Inter Milan! They have only won one of their previous nine Champions League matches - need I go on?

:smokin2:

hmmm it’s hard to say actually which one is the toughest group - there’s no real ‘Group of Death’ like last year when AC Milan, Bayern and Deportivo were all drawn in the same group - there are about 2 or 3 relatively tough groups this year.
