RDM's reaction to the group stage draw. http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/2905316/title/chelsea-tv-exclusive-robbie-reacts

@, sorry mate. Saw the fixture wrongly. We play Juventus away on Matchday 5 and City are at home, not away, to Madrid.

Brilliant read!

Good luck Thorgan!

http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/Draws/01/85/36/38/1853638_DOWNLOAD.pdf ^ The full fixture list for all the group from Matchday 1 to 6, if anyone is interested. Will put teh list in the first post so that anyone can find it easily.

Just want a simple and straightforward home draw.

And at least our last game is at home to Nordsjaelland. Not the toughest of last fixtures IF we need something from the last game but hopefully we're through to the Last 16 by then.

Now that you reminded me of that Spurs game, it really is crap. And while we are away at Shakhtar before facing United, they'll be at home to Braga that same midweek! Regarding that City fixture, well, they play Madrid away while we are away at Juventus. Fair enough I suppose.

Here's our group's fixture list: Sep 19 Juventus (h) Oct 2 Nordsjaelland (a) Oct 23 Shakhtar (a) Nov 7 Shakhtar (h) Nov 20 Juve (a) Dec 5 Nordsjaelland (h).

If we are to progress, we need to win all 3 home games and beat Nordsjaelland away. 12 points from those 4 games would be enough to see us through.

Not denying that but he needs to be reminded of what happened in 2009 and don't forget that Messi had a penalty against us and couldn't buried it!

That. Still being a sour grape!! :rant:

Done editing the first post with all the 8 groups that have been drawn out.

Why oh why do we always seem to get an awkward group while Arsenal and United get the straightforward ones?!! :rant:

According to RDM in his PC, Marin, Malouda and Benayoun are not with the squad in Monaco. Did not travel. We all know Marin is injured but the other 2, well, safe to say they're probably leaving. EDIT: Bah. Late by second. Damn you Pr22!

Julio Cesar's dream with QPR... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2195418/Julio-Cesar-exclusive-I-dream-winning-Premier-League-QPR.html?ito=feeds-newsxml :lol:

Where's the pity vote then?! It's only the 3rd time by the way.

The League Cup 3rd Round draw will take place tonight at 9.45pm UK time. It will start after the Northampton v Wolves tie is done, according to the QPR website.

Deserved victory for Madrid though they really should have won by more than just 2-1. The amount of chances Higuain squandered is just .

Being mentioned there but looks like it might be true. Have 1-2 backbones to the story it seems. We shall see.

Best to stop jinxing it!

Edited the 1st post already. All the pots are filled now with the teams lining up based on their UEFA coefficient ranking. Draw will take place tomorrow in Monaco at 4.45pm UK time.

Have higher coefficient than Dynamo Kiev and Olympiacos, which was mainly boosted by their run to the Europa League final a couple of seasons ago.
