Insane.

What's the source for that?

I saw it on twitter from someone that writes for the Huffington Post. Fecked if I can find a source though.

The bookies will be overjoyed

No they won't. They'll issue a press release saying that they're terrified of losing all their monies again, and that they could go bankrupt.

We're the reason that you see so many homeless bookmakers, didn't you know?

Actually I know someone who works in Head Office at one of the major bookies and he confirmed they'd lost more than a million over all on who would win the PL. Not many 5000/1 bets, but they kept the odds high over Christmas and lots of people backed us then.

If the seeded teams progress through, this is how the Champions League will look:

That's a bloody strong pot 2.

 

[camberwell fox]

That's a bloody strong pot 2.

Not as strong as pot1 though.

Pot1 has Leicester in it.

Been told today, the club are going to market the three group games as a package for £99

Depends who we get but not the end of the world.

Three games for £99 is a very good deal IMO.

So, all the teams are now known. We will play three of the following sides (excluding the English ones):

Pot 2 - Atlético Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla, Porto, Napoli and Bayer Leverkusen
Pot 3 - Basel, Dynamo Kiev, Lyon, PSV Eindhoven, Sporting, Club Brugge and Borussia Mönchengladbach
Pot 4 - Celtic, Monaco, Beşiktaş, Legia Warsaw, Dinamo Zagreb, Ludogorets, Copenhagen and Rostov

The only side I'd want to avoid is Athletico - due to them being the strongest side in Pot 2 and a team we've already played twice in Europe before.

There are clearly some very different combinations which would make our chances of doing okay range from nil to reasonable. The draw takes place live on BT Sport, Eurosport and is on Radio Leicester from 5pm.

Exciting times.

Should be on SSN as well

 

[City Fan]

Any three that aren't Rostov, Kiev, Besiktas would do just fine for me.

Sky Sports seem to think that Celtic would be a nightmare scenario for us WTF! I don't care who we get the fact we are in it is enough for me, I think the atmosphere will go up a notch for our home games cant wait

 

[Lako42]

Celtic

Christ, I would have taken Celtic when we were in league 1

 

[Graz]

I think we'll get Athletico, PSV, Ludogorets

 

[Blaarev]

We're bound to get Athletico Madrid.

We're bound to get Athletico Madrid.
