Why do UEFA have to make their draws such a long drawn out process?

    Totally agree. I completely avoid all UEFA and FIFA draws for this reason. The bloody world cup draw with FIFA takes almost as long as the tournament itself. It seems to me to be all about glitz and ego's first and football second.

    Man Utd seem to get a straight forward 'easy' group every year. City might find it tough, especially with Napoli dropping in there from pot 4.

    Manure in an easy group, what are the chances of that happening.

    The thing that's got me with UEFA is how can a team that finished 4 in their domestic league and qualified through a play off can be among the top seeds while the German champions where in the bottom pot.

    Easy group? is there a easy group in there, all teams in the Champions league should be difficult to beat, surely....

    Hope Man City get wiped out of the competition though in the group stage, other than that come on the three other English teams....

    Still a load of **** if you ask me, ok they go on a sides recent History Dortmund (german champs) won it in '97 and where in Pot 4, City 3rd in England have never played in the competition but where in Pot 3. Bayern only made they final champions league spot on the last day of last season but found themselves in Pot 1.


    Fixed???? Not a chance
