UEFA Champions League 05/06 Thread

[phrase]

I dont think the draw is out yet cause some teams are yet to play their second legs.

 

[Sulph]

Its on Thursday.

 

[Professor Nutmeg]

FC Thun in the group stages! Good for them.

 

[gerd]

That is a huge surprise...well i like underdogs...

 

[Professor Nutmeg]

Artmedia and Rapid Vienna too. An Austrian club in the CL is quite something.

 

[batistuta151]

I'm shocked, didn't know shit about Thun and Artmedia.

Hope to see them play good football and surprise the big guns.

The more underdogs the better for me.

 

[Professor Nutmeg]

Kim Milton Nielsen is still a prime cocknose i see. Frings falls over himself trying to turn with the ball - Penalty! :lol: Micoud's woeful miss was justified.

 

[munkee]

Feel quite Bad for Everton. a Gorgeous free kick from Arteta , perfectly good goal Chopped off.

Could have been so different

 

[JayM]

Stupid bald referee.

 

[FlawlessCowboy]

Tis a shame, I'm just wondering if Collina disallowed the goal for something else other than Bent's tame 50/50 pushing with the defender

 

[Professor Nutmeg]

Great goal by Sneijder for Ajax. It came out of nowhere.

 

[Interista]

Link for information about seeds and how the draw will take place.

Liverpool is the only team that can be drawn with another english team since they have been granted special entry .

 

[Professor Nutmeg]

I want Liverpool :twisted:

The draw is at 2pm. Can someone post the groups in here when it happens? I'll be out. Cheers.

 

[fd1972uk]

I thought the draw was at 3pm? :-s

Thought Everton where unlucky, didn't see anything wrong with that goal tbh. Villareal are a very good team though and I'm sure they'll be a tough nut for anyone that picks them up as a 4th seeded team. And Panathinaikos, 2nd group? Who's kidding who?

To be fair, if we'd made it we were 2nd group as well and Vilareal beat us 2 seasons ago.

Perhaps it is, i don't know :mryellow:

Not sure about Arsenal being in the 1st seeds :-k

 

[fd1972uk]

CD - I know, but PAO as 2nd seeds? We've reached a UEFA Cup Final, QF and Last Sixteen as well as obviously taking part in a couple of CL. Can't mind PAO doing anything near that.

[Professor Nutmeg]

Perhaps FC Thun will knock them out

 

[Big Boss]

Great goal by Sneijder for Ajax. It came out of nowhere.

True just like babels goal, although it was a typical goal for him to score. Just glad we made it to the CL, first half was dreadfull....hope Blind will realise he should play Sneijder instead of Boukhari.

It's only becasue we've been there for years now and usually manage to make it out of the group stages. I've no idea how their coefficient works!

 

[Professor Nutmeg]

Who knows what goes on in the minds at UEFA :eh: :mryellow:

It doesn't make sens that Arsenal is a first seed above the likes of chelsea and juventus though, does it?

Not if you consider recent form like they do in tennis it doesn't.

 

[Dominic]

And simply because it's the CHAMPIONS league, and these teams WERE the champions of their respective leagues.

C'mon your kidding yourself, its not been a League of Champions for a long time.

 

[ClassicD]

It's down to performance over a number of seasons (five I think). Arsenal have been in the CL the past 5 seasons while Chelsea have only been in there 3 times at most I think. Arsenal have collected more co-efficient points than Chelsea, and that's why they're seeded above them.

Dom mate, you're just cheesed cos Juve are in pot 2 :mrgreen:. But I do get what you're saying .

True enough, but doesn't take away the logic if it; the champions being the first seeds.

Haha, right you are. You got me .

 

[RuneEdge]

Chelsea and Liverpool together?!?!?!?!?
This is f*cked up.

 

[:: JJ ::]

No it's not fucked up, it's true! :|

Also Man USA and Villarreal in the same group, I hope Forlán comes back to haunt Fergie! :lol:

 

[Vannizzlefashizzal]

I hope Forlán comes back to haunt Fergie! :lol:

Forlan will get snapped in half!!
