[Stitch This]

I stayed up just for this

Group A: Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Olympiakos, Malmo

Group B: Real Madrid, Basel, Liverpool, Ludogorets Razgrad.

Group C: Benfica, Zenit St Petersburg, Bayer Leverkusen, Monaco.

Group D: Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Galatasaray, Anderlecht

Group E: Bayern Munich, Manchester City, CSKA Moscow, Roma.

Group F: Barcelona, Paris St-Germain, Ajax, APOEL Nicosia.

Group G: Chelsea, Schalke, Sporting Lisbon, Maribor

Group H: Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Athletic Bilbao, BATE Borisov

Decent spread. Ruud will probably spew again that Ajax got some toughies again.

Group E the hardest group

[N5 1BH]

Shouldn't be too many surprises from these, can't take anything for granted but happy enough with group D for the Gunners. Group E looks like being the hardest to get out of.

[Judge Judy]

Ajax get ripped every year

[Kim Kallstrom]

Another easy group for Chelsea. Man City's group 3 out of the same 4 teams as last year...
Liverpool and Arsenal should qualify 2nd in theirs.

[Jonny Liḍon]

Underestimate Basel at your peril.

If you say so.

They'll be in the Europa League.

[Blue Mastiff]

Not a bad draw for Monaco considering they were in Pot 4

Still pretty tricky, but could have been a lot worse.

Who the hell are Ludogorets Razgrad?

Is it an anagram of a decent football team?

Dunno, but wouldnt mind them letters with a triple word score!

Their CB won them the penalty shoot out as the GK, was some class saves as well. Napoli are probably saying the same thing though, no UCL for them but some random Bulgarian team gets through.

Can't wait for Real at Anfield, not expecting 4-0 like last time, but will be a good test of mental strength for the likes of Sterling and Studge to play against them at home, under lights. Should be another memorable (hopefully for the right reasons) European night at Anfield.

I must say, I wasn't sad to see City get the group they did by far the group of death

Ajax get ripped every year

It's unbelievable

5 years in a row.

One of you was taking the piss and the other is a sook.

And, for the rest of us, it's DILLIGAF

[Dílligaf]

Keep me out of this.

They're the Bulgarian league winners and have got a lot of cash behind them.

Underestimate the east at your peril. All groups (minus group G) are tough. Wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal don't make it through this time.

Also where will Shakhtar be playing? Swiss HQ?

[Rookie]

any early predictions on who will win it this year?

Real Madrid did, 4-1.

[El Capitano]

Where's Napoli?

[Nice One Cyril]

Where's Napoli?

West Coast of Italy, big volcano close by, you can't miss it

Dont bother visiting, unless you do the short ferry trip to Isle of Capri.

[Del Boca Vista]

Where's Napoli?

Europa League, one step above the dirty mancs
