Yes i apologise. Will be interesting when the seedings are done, would think United and Chavski would be in pot 1 and would avoid the other big guns. Arsenal and Shiteh should be in one of the lower pots
What you on bout Jim? 3 of them in pot one and city should be in pot 3 or 4 going by UEFA guildlines.
I knew Shiteh would be lower because of past performances but wasnt sure if 3 teams from 1 country were permitted in pot 1 So potentially Pot 1 would consist of United Chavski Arsenal Barca Real Madrid Bayern Munich Juventus AC Milan/ Borussia Dortmund/ Winner of French Lique 1

Thats what I thought too. I know that the pot seedings are based on previous champions league permance and going by that man city should be in pot 4 again. in regards to your other point last year arsenal united and chelseas were in pot 1
I find that scenario wrong though, hate Shiteh but they should be in Pot 1. To me the Champions of the big leagues should be all in Pot 1. United only finished second so it wouldnt bother me if we drew Real Madrid in our group
Torres has put a dampener on celebrations by declaring he wants to leave if he is not given a starting role more often. Looks like the club has a big decision to make, personally id re-sign Drogba and show Torres the door
In the wake of a penalty shootout once again deciding a major trophy Sepp Blatter has declared he wants them abolished. He has given Franz Beckenbauer the task of finding a solution that can be implemented ASAP. I can save him a lot of time and money, have said for years just play unlimited ET with a golden goal, the players will get tired and eventually a mistake will be made and a goal scored. I watched an NHL game in this years playoffs that went for 3 OT's and lasted 5 hours, the crowd got their value for money. I just cant see why they dont do this in soccer, who cares if the game goes for 6 hours at least you get a fair result not decided by the lottery of penalties
Have enjoyed watching on SBS 2 the last couple of Wednesday nights with Dynamo Kiev and Borussia Monchengladbach and last night's Anderlecht victory 2-0 (won on aggregate 3-2) over AEL Limassol. Anderlecht completely dominated the second half but blew all their chances until they scored twice in the last 10 minutes.
