He won't be cup-tied.

Gianni Infantino: "From next season, if a player's club is eliminated and he signs for a new club by the end of the summer transfer window on September 1 he can play for his new club in either competition. If he is not signed by the end of the summer window, he can move in the January window."

Milan has not been eliminated so how come KPB is not cup tied?

My question: Is there a chance the game against Southamptoon at home will move??

[Liquidator 5,176]

There are already thousands of people in Romania posting online about Steaua finishing 1st in this Group E. They consider themselves lucky they have drawn Chelsea, Schalke and Basel. There is a real madness here, everybody talks about Steaua qualifying with a minimum of 10-12 points... Insane things happening I must say. Even their coach said he can't think of anything else than three wins out of three at home... They hope the last match against Chelsea in London will decide the 1st place in this group.

They sound like a bunch of incredibly deluded idiots. Would probably get on quite well with this lot for that reason

Don't believe erything he says,most Staua fans are down to earth.There's no way Jose we could get first place in this group.Third is realistically obtainable and with a very good perfomance,i'll say second is in our grasp.

Favourable Draw for Chelsea in Champions League

a nice summarization of the English clubs' groups.

I understand why they're whining. Moping is for free though

Have merged the CL group stage draw thread with this one previously used to discuss the Super Cup game. So anything related to Chelsea in Europe, discuss it in here.

To face those Romanians, it could be a hoot. There is no better fan, than a Romanian one.

High hopes & all. Once the reality sets in, what´s left to say ?

Alex, KPB is cup-tied and can't face us for Schalke. This is from that same link you posted.

The executive committee has agreed that a player who appears for a club in any of the preliminary rounds of the Champions League or Europa League can play for another team in the competition proper, so long as his original team is eliminated in the preliminary competition.

He played for Milan in the play-offs and they qualified for the group stage, remember?

Am feeling quite confident we will top the group, i feelsorry for celtic though

Ok fantastic! thanks!

[Billy. 2,739]

this is our squad for Europe dunno how true it is

Goalkeepers - Petr Cech, Mark Schwarzer, Jamal Blackman (B list)

Defenders - Branislav Ivanovic, Cesar Azpilicueta, Ashley Cole, Ryan Bertrand, John Terry, David Luiz, Gary Cahill

Midfielders - Ramires, Willian, Oscar, John Obi Mikel, Marco van Ginkel, Kevin De Bruyne, Frank Lampard, Eden Hazard

Forwards - Fernando Torres, Demba Ba, Juan Mata, Andre Schurrle, Samuel Eto'o

Michael Essien was the odd man out, a surprising decision considering the amount that he played for Real Madrid last season. I think most assumed that he'd play a good deal this season, but he hasn't featured for the Blues yet and now won't take part in any of the group stage games.

What is it with people on this forum underestimating every team, only to come back livid when the result is not a win.

Did everyone forget that Schalke reached the semi-finals in 2011?

Yeah, I think we're a better team, but don't get carried away so much.
