Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Damn, Arsenal have amazing luck. Drawing a team that will be thrown out anyway.

Do they just get a free ride to the group or does another team get drafted in to play against them?

I only think that Zenit would have been a worse draw than Milan for you because Zenit will be much more match fit since our season started over a month ago.

Maybe, but it's not worse than Schalke or Arsenal.

If Balotelli and/or SES are not playing...then maybe we have chance to win against Milan. It's not completely hopeless.

Honestly, the big Italian teams have been from decent to shit this pre-season imo so luck might be on your side.

It's pre-season.

pre

season

United lost to North Korea but they're still going to win the league by 20 points in December.

They were banned by UEFA for 2 years for match fixing, but they managed to get it overturned in the CAS. Currently under a legal battle but in the meantime they have their license back.

At the bottom of all the UEFA draw / match pages it says "* Please note that the participation of Fenerbahçe SK and FC Metalist Kharkiv in the competition is subject to pending disciplinary and CAS proceedings."

Juve-GAF, give us Conte or Benfica-GAF will cut off all ties with you.

IT IS ON NOW!

I can already imagine what he'd say to the Benfica players during their first meeting. Same thing he said when he took things over at Juventus.

"Gentlemen, it's time to stop sucking."

Conte <3

His contract expires in 2015 anyway. :(

If Fenerbahçe beat Arsenal and their ban is subsequently upheld, they'll be replaced in the group stages by Bursaspor, not Arsenal.

Elfsborg were so bad, they'd probably get relegated from the SPL.

Celtic were so shit too

After watching Motherwell over two legs this year and Dundee United last season I dread to imagine the quality of team that can actually get relegated from the SPL.

Oh yeah so lucky. The hardest team we could have got days before a NLD. Sooooooo lucky.

Some of the Dutch folks seem to think Milan is a good draw because the Serie A hasn't started yet. And they think it's likely that Milan will underestimate PSV. I dunno, they have to make up for a big part in quality first...

PSV trashed Napoli last year, number 2 in the league. That's a fact. Another fact is that Napoli didn't give a fuck about the EL and they never really tried.

AC Milan will care about CL. PSV will be the underdog, it should be an exciting match at the very least :)

Lol, I was about to say Napoli couldn't give any fucks but luckily you said that yourself :p

But it's funny to see the different fora. On one forum I frequent everybody seems down and another forum I'm like the only person who thinks PSV isn't gonna make it against Milan. Some dude even makes it personal by calling me out for not knowing anything about football except for Ajax :p

Suen pls. Don't you remember last year when AIK eliminated CSKA?

AIK was probably funded by based Gazprom then. Seriously I was very surprised from that result. Not what I expected at all, Wernbloom and Elm didn't want to betray their country.

Juve will only be seeded in 2nd place in the Champions League if one of Arsenal, Milan, Lyon or Schalke are knocked out in the qualifiers.

Get your shit together Milan, Lyon, Schalke and Arse.....oh fuck.

The only major threat in Pot 2 is PSG. :/

But just to be clear, can we really expect from a fully reformed team with a lot of youngsters who don't really have any CL experience that they can beat the likes of Milan? If you ask me their only chance is Milan underestimating them or Milan having a total off day at San Siro so they can snap an away goal or two.

Yeah no, you're absolutely right. Milan needs an offday and Bakkali needs to shine.
