Theres so many great teams out there that we could get, im just so happy that european nightrs are back at white hart lane. Making this group stage is ahuge achievement for us but i want to qualify from the group and go further! So hopefully we have a decent draw, no trips to Belgrade, Transilvania or Eastern Russia please, hopefully sunny Spain, Italy or southern France! COYS

[CountPuchi]

Yup !! Exactly what i had in mind! Its not that being in an easy group would mean that we can reach the last 16. It also doesnt guarantee that we will play against the best and more famous teams in europe if we get to the last 16.

This is why i think the best group for us

Barcelona/Bayern/AC Milan(1st pot)
Roma/Benfica/Valencia(2nd pot)
Tottenham(3rd Pot)
Twente (Would love an easy game lol)

of course my choice would be
Barca
Roma
Tottenham
Twente

Best group for me , Oh btw fyi teams of the same nation cant meet each other during group stage.

I actually think Barcelona would not be as hard to beat as many feel.... the Spanish league is a joke and only had 2 teams of any quality for the last 3yrs... competitors like Valencia and Sevilla are severly messed-up financially due to profligate presidents spending for their own egos then getting dumped afterwards...

both RM and Barca have had it waaaay too easy and resemble Celtic and Rangers now....

if we play with a compact back4 and restrict them down the middle and have good pace on the counter (Azza and Bazza) we can certainly take Barca.... RM could prove abit harder...

That is a brave statement.

i'd love an "easy" group if they exist?

[taimedowne]

What a pity we cant play Ajax. I'd have loved to welcome Martin Jol back to The Lane in the Champions League. He got us so close and now we are both there. I still love Martin Jol and Martin Jol still loves me.

If we can avoid Real Madrid form pot 2 then I feel we have a chance. Home games are going to be rocking.
 
I want AC from top group as they are nothing like what they used to be.

TBH i don't care who we get. This is what the CL is all about... Real Madrid at the Lane  , Inter at the Lane  , Barca at the Lane ... what a day out that will be

[ozoha]

Lyon
Panathinaikos
TOTTENHAM
Zilina

Whoud be perfect!

[Gareth Keown]

I would love Barca and Real Madrid in our group.... thats what the CL is all about, otherwise why bother by wishing for the little teams..

just reaching the CL group stage is enough for me.... lets just ENJOY the next 6 games in it, hope for the best but just revel in it win lose or draw.... if we go out of Europe early we have an easier run-in to season-end too, which should help us win the Prem title..

Not possible to have both of them, teams from the same country can't be in the same group.

But i agree, i want a big team in our group too

[Biggs]

We are in Group A

Inter
Werder Bremen
Tottenham
FC Twente

[Gareth Keown]

Inter have an ageing side and also Rafa Benitez is quite a defensive coach... I fancy we could top this group never mind just qualify..

I think the Inter GK is waaaaaaaaaaaaaayy over-rated.... we will score against that back4..

last 16 should be at least possible... even probable (Bremen are no Bayern Munich and now without Ozil)..

[CountPuchi]

Id worry about Bremen more than Inter, Losing their coach certainly didnt help them.

Twente is a threat too. Mcleren is still coaching there right"? Or did he moved somewhere else already?
