Probably a lot to do with pot 4. They didn't draw any minnows - they drew the two best teams in the pot probably - Newcastle and Athletic. Of course they're favourites in most of the matches as they're an excellent team, but their draw could have been a little kinder I feel. However, the...

Great idea for a poll mate. Have to think on this one but feel it's between atleti and juventus

Yeah that is the big question. I mentioned it recently - 2/3 powerhouse teams and weaker below (but still decent). Or very balanced in totality. A capitalist type vs a socialist type. Seems impossible to have 2 powerhouse teams and then a lot of really good teams. Just can't find the balance...

Are I first watched him as few minutes here and there at under Euros in summer. It really is a bolt from the blue. Thanks for more information.

Hahaha definitely.

The lad seems to have come out of nowhere. Will probably be a decent player but 90m is madness.

If peeps want to try out who has the hardest set of fixtures, you can sort by average coefficient on wikipedia (though of course coefficient isn't a perfect measure, but it's a good one). PSV have hardest and Atalanta easiest according to the barometer. Barca are third-easiest...

144 games in league phase and possible to watch 33 of them (if only watching one at a time).

More money than sense in football. Particularly that league.

True. I was just joking anyway, lol. One of my usual digs at Penaldo.

Hahaha top stuff. Also good banter with your uncle - Belgium also not far from your home Germany too.

Real Madrid, Brugge, Olympiacos and Pafos. The four unfortunate teams who have to travel deep into Asia for the European Champions League. If Kairat can play in this maybe Ronaldo can argue for Al Nassr too?

Find out probably Saturday. The delay is so there's no logistical problems with teams from same city in Europa and Conference. Their final qualifiers are tonight and draws are tomorrow.

Newcastle vs Athletic is a banger for two pot fours teams. Just why we love this format.

Will Almaty travelling to Lisbon to play Sporting be the longest distance in CL history? Previously it was Benfica, also from Lisbon, to Astana. And correct me if I am wrong, but Almaty is further east in Kazakhstan than Astana?

Aye you're right, but as we both know it doesn't always work out that way on grass. Plus Spurs are hardly a super team themselves who can swat anyone away.

Trip to Norway and near the Arctic Circle is hard, particularly in winter.

Hard for Brugge too. Lots of tough games and one of the unlucky four with the trip to Kazakhstan haha. I guess when you get to pot 2 it does get more challenging for them, though.

Difficult for Benfica as well.

Mate of Gazza who hung about with him in the 90s. Bit of a headcase, just like Gazza lol.
