Holy crap, City never catch a break during the group draw! Madrid, Ajax, and Dortmund is tough

Tough, but if your a City fan planning on travelling, brilliant. a few days in Amsterdam and Madrid just ROCKS! And Dortmund, whilst not as attractive, is a great place to drink.

But yeah, football wise, that's a BIATCH of a group.

Hail.

I HATE Utd. Trips to Braga and Istanbul I'd kill for around now damn it. And City too. That's a boss group with trips to Amsterdam, Madrid and Dortmund.

Don't so much care for Chelsea's group. Highly expensive trip to Russia. And Turin which is NO fun. Same with Arsenal. Kiev's a biatch with cost and visa's. And Zagreb could be VERY naughty for anyone travelling.

But the two Manc clubs .....

Humph!

Hail.

Group D (Real's group) is going to be fun to watch. Ajax and Dortmund surely aren't in the same class but they can definitely get results that will mess with the standings.

Are you a City fan? If so, I'll congratulate you now because you are the FIRST city fan in America I've met in 34 years. This is what Neil Armstrong must've felt like.

Yeah, I've come out as a city fan on this thread before.

Before you call me out as a bandwagon fan I started watching the EPL in 2006 when I was immediately attracted to City and I've been follwoing them faithfully ever since. City has a huge following in NYC too

*Resists urge to joke on finding a Utd fan in Manchester .....

We found a Wimbledon season ticket holder once in a bar at Euston waiting for a train home from West Ham. He even got his book out as it was at the time to prove he was, lol. It was surrealy bizarre and funny as all heck at the same time.

Thought I'd share, shrugs.

Talking of draws, It's the League Cup's turn later BTW for anyone interested.

Yes, trying to be funny but also sincere. Nasri is a douche (even when he was with Arsenal) but City have a good group. Don't like Balotelli, but the guy can play. But seriously you're the first City fan I've "met".

I live outside of PIttsburgh now, Steeler fans are like cockroaches, they are everywhere in the US and around the world. You can find Steeler bars around the world.

Hey, Elessar man,

Guess who L'pool's left back is tonight ? ..... just for ***** and giggles. (That's the player playing there, not the question, lol. ).

Hopefully Hearts will beat down Liverpool.

Nasri is a good player and he hasn't done anything too bad while at city (yet) but from his behavior on the international level it's clear that he can be a real douche. It appears most french players have an element of douchiness to them.


So what are the team allegiances here? GHH=Lverpooll, El= Arsenal?

Richmond and the ever so endearing MisterP up the page ..... some small club with slightly better European credentials then Nottingham Forest.

Who? Sahin? You cheeky bastard. Martin Kelly? Stuart Downing? I'm missing the joke. Sorry, slow right now.

Downing. With Carroll not even making the bench. Oh yeah, we're treating Hearts in this totally dead game with the utmost of respect.

Hail.

[oscarsandman]

Just saw that Iniesta was voted UEFA's best player in Europe.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Berbatov to Fulham...hopefully that's all the leverage needed to free Dempsey. I hope Liverpool offers 9 mil and sees who blinks first.

Carroll's gone on loan to West Ham for the year. (Which is absolutely ridiculous to me.).

So I'd say Dempsey is a certainty tomorrow.

Hail.
