Champions league 2013/2014 - Dicsussion & Banter

Not too bad draw for Porto, think we can top our group, will be good game with Madrid

On Napoli at 50/1. Come on Rafa lad!!!

I do know why so many people are saying Man United got an easy group. Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Sociedad are good teams. Man United should get out of the group, but it won't be a cake walk for them.

Although ya, Chelsea got the easiest group out of all the top seeds.

^^^ I agree. Although United's group is no group of death there are no walkover's in there either! No free points. Sociedad can play and we saw what happened to utd against Bilbao a few years ago and they were out of Pot 4! I expect utd to come top of the group, of course, but all 3 of the other will give them a game. No freebies in there in my opinion.

It will be interesting to see how well Moyes does in Europe.

You should be happy with Man City's group. They should definitely finish in the top 2 of that group with Bayern Munich.

Yeah, very happy with that group, especially after the last 2 we have had!

Even think we COULD (not will) grab top spot ahead of Bayern, it's definitely possible.

Think Arsenal got the group that was meant for us though!

Got a right touch with our group (makes up for Shakhtar & Juve last year), would be a major catastrophe if we don't make it out the group stages again.
Can really see United struggling in theirs, don't think they'll win any of their away games and Shakhtar, Sociedad and Leverkusen are the kind of footballing teams that will just go for it at Old Trafford and not be scared of the oppostion. Might try and see if I can put a cheeky bet on them to win the Europa League

Nah forget FSW if you want an outsider you wanna go Atletico Madrid, Simeone's doing an unreal job so I reckon they'll be the dark horses this year. Got them at 50s too

Not a patch on Rafa mate.

Atletico are a quality side. Like the look of them as well, no doubt they'll be dangerous but i think Napoli with Benitez in charge are rock solid. He'll have them organised and compact and there's some exciting attacking talent there with the likes of Callejon, Hamsik, the Belgian lad Mertens, Zapata, Pandev, Higuain and Insigne...

Both teams could do well at excellent prices. Napoli for me though, can't believe they're 50/1.
