Champions League Draw

I've nothing better to do on a Thursday night/Friday morning, so I'm going to sit in front of my PC and bore myself silly with the Champions League draw. I should really get a tweeter account and do it there. It feels easier doing it but I'm just going to save everyone the trouble and do this one here.

Group A
Bayern Munich
Juventus
Bordeaux
Maccabi Haifa

Group B
Manchester United
CSKA Moscow
Besiktas
Wolfsburg

Group C
AC Milan
Real Madrid
Marseille
FC Zurich

Group D
Chelsea
Porto
Atletico Madrid
APOEL Nicosia

Group E
Liverpool
Lyon
Florentina
Debreceni

Group F
Barcelona
Inter Milan
Dynamo Kiev
Ruban Kazan

Group G
Sevilla
Rangers
Stuttgart
Unirea Urziceni

Group H
Arsenal
AZ Alkmaar
Olympiakos
Standard Liege


Live Thoughts: After a long long introduction, we finally have the Pot 1 teams allocated. We're in group B. While waiting for the next Pot to be choosen, Paulo Maldini is getting some award. I'm not getting an English feed so have no freaking idea what award he's getting. Not even going to guess.

Live Thoughts: Terry wins European club defender.

Live Thoughts: We avoid meeting Real Madrid. They get grouped with AC Milan.

Live Thoughts: It's CSKA Moscow. Difficult trip to Russia, but we last won the cup there. Maybe a good omen.

Live Thoughts: Xavi Hernandez win European club midfielder. Waiting to see who else we get to play.

Live Thoughts: Damn....we travel to Turkey. Not a nice hunting ground.

Live Thoughts: CSKA Moscow and Besiktas. Tough away fixtures. Dennis Law makes an appearance to hand out the club striker of the year to Messi. And finally we're going to round off this fucking boring draw.

Live Thoughts: We got the Germany champions, Wolfsburg. The home games should be routine for us, but the away games look particularly difficult. Despite chalking up the frequent flier miles, we should still make it to the next round. Thankfully we not in groups A or C. Both groups look like it could go down the wire.

Thanks for putting this up. The UEFA website went down half way.
