Champions League 2014/15

[Pesci]

They're the best team in that pot by too much of a margin for them to end up in a so-so group, that's not the way these draws work. So that's something else I'm worried about.

[Lineker]

Bloody cycling is overrunning on Eurosport :@

[Baddar]

Not watching. Someone keep me updated in here. Desperate to see who we get.

[stokeriño]

Clearly when they said 4:45 they meant possibly 5pm.

Or so.

[stokeriño]

A group of Real Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool and Monaco would be nice.

BBC:

"A number of journalists at the Champions League draw say Liverpool drew Juventus, Monaco and Real Madrid in rehearsals."

Damn, now it clearly won't happen for real.

[Lineker]

Karl Heinz Riedle

[EddieG]

On a serious note, with them dropping the ball (literally), watch the fixing conspiracists go wild.

[stokeriño]

I was so sure we were going to get Juventus there.

But Schalke again!

[Lineker]

Liverpool in with Real and Basel so far.

[stokeriño]

Glad we didn't have to deal with a trip to Galatasaray again. We'll leave that one to Arsenal.

[DavidMarrio]

We'll smash Madrid 4-0 at Anfield again

[Lineker]

Ludogorets could sneak into the Europa League through that draw.

That Group C is tasty.

[stokeriño]

Group C is ridiculously open.

Just need to avoid Roma now...come on...

[Lineker]

APOEL into the Group of Death

[DavidMarrio]

APOEL ruined the Zlatan group

[Lineker]

Anderlecht go into Arsenal's group.

Maribor go into Chelsea's group.
