CL is a lot of shite. Could count the good matches last season on one hand. I won't bother with it this year.

correct, just an excuse for the big clubs/countries to print money. I'll probably watch when it gets to the semi and final but that will be it.

Benfica, Zenit and PSV in pot one but both Madrids and Man Utd pot two?

Only Champions in Pot 1. It was the same with the last qualifying round, Champions in 1 pot, the rest in another pot

Draw Groups, Red/Blue Groups and Sides of the Draw:
If the Draw is arranged as previously then...

  • Champions League Groups A to D are 'red' groups and on the 'red' side of the draw.
  • Champions League Groups E to H are 'blue' groups and on the 'blue' side of the draw.
  • The 'blue' side of the draw (Groups E to H) is the other side of the draw to the 'red side' of the draw (Groups A to D). Similarly, the 'red' side of the draw is the other side of the draw to the 'blue' side of the draw.

Special Draw Rules:

  • Russian and Ukrainian teams will not be able to play each other!

TV pairing principle:

  • Once one team in a TV pairing is drawn to a red group (A to D) or blue group (E to H) then the second team in the TV pairing can only be drawn to a group on the other side of the draw. Examples [1] if Barcelona are drawn to Group C (a red group) then their pair (normally Real Madrid) can only be placed in a blue group (E-H). [2] If Barcelona are drawn to Group F (a blue group) then their pair (normally Real Madrid) can only be placed in a red group (A-D).

Known TV pairings:

  • France (FRA): Paris Saint-Germain [Pot 1] & Olympique Lyonnais [Pot 3].
  • Italy (ITA): Juventus [Pot 1] & Roma (Pot 3].
  • Portugal (POR): SL Benfica [Pot 1] & FC Porto [Pot 2].
  • Russia (RUS): FC Zenit [Pot 1] & PFC CSKA Moskva [Pot 3].
  • Spain (ESP) [1]*: FC Barcelona [Pot 1] & Real Madrid [Pot 2].
  • Ukraine (UKR): FC Dynamo Kyiv [Pot 2] & FC Shakhtar Donetsk [3].

Note: * = This TV pairing is in a country with more than 2 teams in the draw. It is a pair that id NORMALLY set up by the countries broadcaster(s). That said there is no absolute guarantee that this pairing will be in place for this draw!

Unknown TV pairings:

  • England: Chelsea/Arsenal/Manchester City/Manchester United
  • Germany: Bayern Munich/VfL Borussia M?nchengladbach/VfL Wolfsburg/Bayer 04 Leverkusen
  • Spain: Club Atl?tico de Madrid/Sevilla FC/Valencia CF

My Best Guess At Unknown TV pairings:

  • England [1]*#: Arsenal [Pot 2] & Manchester United [Pot 2]
  • England [2]*#: Chelsea [pot 1] & Manchester City [pot 2]
  • Germany [1]*%: Bayern Munich [Pot 1] & VfL Borussia M?nchengladbach [Pot 4]
  • Germany [2]*%] Bayer 04 Leverkusen [Pot 2] & VfL Wolfsburg [Pot 4]
  • Spain (ESP) [2]*%: Atl?tico de Madrid [pot 2] & Valencia CF [Pot 2]

Notes: 
# = This English TV pairing is predicted as it will guarantee an Arsenal or Man Utd game on any Champions League night. THEY MAY STILL APPLY SKY'S LOGIC OF Arsenal/City & Chelsea/Utd but as there is now only one broadcaster they will want a big game every night.
# = These TV pairings mean the teams with the highest average attendances play on separate evenings in the champions League.

Was listening to 5 live last night while making tea and they were discussing the toughest group Man Utd could get with, name escapes me but he was described as 'BBC's European Football Expert', and in his opinion the toughest group was Barca, Man Utd, Sevilla and Wolfsburg.

 

Now I wouldn't call myself a European football expert but even I know you can only have one team per country in each group.

Never knew that actually. I thought it was based on team's history in Europe.

This is the first year of the new seeding system.

 

The league champions of the top ranking countries are in pot 1.

It's International weekend next week, can already predict the "Scotland are sh1te", "don't care about Scotland", "hope they get pumped" "won't be watching" comments. Then if we qualify for a tourny they will all be giving it big licks

Personally I don't care much for the cash-machine that is the CL either, that's why I posted on a thread about it. To share my views with others.

Nothing to do with "look at me"

I do find it amusing when people with no interest in something join in a thread about it, just to say how much they aren't interested.
