    Yeah, definitely.

    The fact though that in his first season we had City, Barca and MGB was incredibly unlucky, the worst we could have gotten. If we get a 'decent' draw, say a really good pot A which is a given, but a team from Pot B and C that are like your Benfica's and Spartak's of old, we have more than a chance of progressing.

    I would be happy with Last 16 of Europa or Champions League. Even if we went through the Europa League group I wouldn't be too bothered as long as we won a knockout game, better than getting pumped off of PSG 12-1 on aggregate.

    I picked 3rd in the group but I'd be happy with us being competitive. No more pumpings. Brendan has to prevent the 6 and 7 goal defeats this time.

    If we get to the group stages without adding players it would be an achievement.

    Group Stages, anything thereafter is a bonus

    Need to bring in three defenders to boost our chances to get further in Europe.

    these are the top seeds, we would surely fancy our chances of getting a home win against lokomotiv after the zenit game


    confirmed 2nd seeds are as follows, so if we get through to group stages we could end up with a group of lokomotiv and porto and whoever the 3rd seed would be. Certainly less daunting than our recent groups

    Gettin to the group stages would be good.


    Would also like to avoid any heavy defeats, even up against superior opposition i don't think it's acceptable for us to be shipping 7 goals.

    Aye, so called ‘glamour tie’ or not, it’s painful viewing.
