Tbh i like Man Utd's group, i see a group where any two from 4 teams could qualify and i wouldn't be surprised at all.

The rest to me are boring apart from Arsenal's group, you could pick the two who will qualify and be right 99% of the time.

Man Utd's group is very unpredictable IMO.

Dat history.

With our defense I wouldn't be too surprised if we don't qualify, or we qualify second. We only need two injuries for instance Pique and Masche and we are done (i do not count Puyol, as he is injured every second game by default, so is Adriano).

So FC Brazil Donetsk, Griezmann + Vela and Bayer Leverkusen... that's deceptively difficult. Any of those two teams who slip up a couple times may be in danger

Away at Ukraine on a midweek night... ffs

At least we can't screw around like we did with OteLOL before if Moyes wants to make an impact...

by S Thu Aug 29, 2013 6:37 pm

These Manu fans thinking they have the group in the lock Laughing

This is the first time they are having a tough group in years with 3 very good teams.No game is going to be easy especially the away ones.

Mostly agree with that Mole tbh

I'm not sure Arsenal will make it through.

Xabi prieto said yesterday he would like to play in old trafford Proud

I am really surprised that people are even considering that Socieded can make through, never saw them.
Btw, everyone will be surprised how good Hyypiä is doing with everkussen team

Yeah, one injury in defense, and it's definitely back to score more than opposition-style.

Well if you had seen them before you would know why people are considering sociedad making out of the groups.

One of the most dangerous sides in the world when on the counter.

by rwo power Thu Aug 29, 2013 6:44 pm

I have to agree with HEIL - I think Leverkusen might indeed surprise some people ^^

by S Thu Aug 29, 2013 6:45 pm

Guys when is the fixture list going to be announced ? Want to know who Juve are playing first and when is the Juve-Real game.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Aug 29, 2013 6:47 pm

I have underestimated Sociedad too many times, i refuse to do so any longer.

They have entered my Basel phase of me underestimating them so many times i have to accept they are actually f*cking good.

I say the same about Leverkusen tbh, they are a very good team which a lot of people will be surprised by i feel.

All 4 teams in that group could easily finish 1st or 4th Laughing

Leverkusen are in-form, they can be a tricky side.

Real Sociedad...I am afraid of them. They are playing very good football, watched them against Lyon and they seem to be 'the Malaga' of last seasons.

You realised they signed Bernard, Fernando, Wellington Nem, Taison, Facundo Ferreyra and an Attacking midfielder called Fred?

You might not know much about these players but you soon will do

I wouldn't underestimate Shakhtar at all.

Right, but they are also barely getting used to playing with each other whole the likes of Sociedad and Man Utd are on great chemistry ATM. I would pick Utd and Sociedad to advance

by sportsczy Thu Aug 29, 2013 6:49 pm

There are very few gimmies in CL. Usually only one clearly lesser team per group if any. Otherwise, all the other teams have enough talent to get a result.

Chelsea, Bayern, Madrid and Barca will walk their groups. No need for this faux respect.

And Leverkusen, Sociedad, and Ukrain are rough places to go win at. Barca and Madrid regurlaly struggle at Sociedad ffs

Piss easy for utd. Did I miss the big awakening for sociadad? When did they become a powerhouse? When the 2nd seeds have sold their best players, it's an easy group. It's easy because the other three are on the same level and will take points off each other. It'll be hard to keep up. Done and dusted. Oh and arsenal lolz

by ExtremistEnigma Thu Aug 29, 2013 6:53 pm

A: Man Utd, Leverkusen, Shakhtar
B: Madrid, Juventus, Galatasaray

Sociedad are fifty times better than the Bilbao you faced. be prepared for a rude awakening Laughing

English media talking like Man U have an easy group saying Sociedad & Bayer "arnt up to much"

It begins :facepalm:

ManUtd thought to walk their group 2 years ago, too. I wouldn't be so sure about Chelsea, Mou or not Mou :coffee:

by cyberman Thu Aug 29, 2013 6:59 pm

Becaus they're not up to much.
We faced Bilbao in the Europa leg ffs, we couldn't give two shits about it. Are they better than Madrid who couldn't create a chance v us over two legs until nani was sent off?
Alright then
