Find it strange that Stoke are unseeded after winning there group with Besiktas finishing runners up to them, who are seeded??

It still wont stop me having a sneaky bet on Stoke winning the competition outright, 25/1 is a massive price imo.

Besiktas probably have a higher co-efficient

United and City should walk this until they meet

Thats what we said about the CL group we got as well. And there's plenty teams in the EL better than those that finished above us in the CL.

There's a bunch of teams there that can(and will imo) beat United and City's reserves.

Spurs best team would have won their Europa group rather than come third. Similarly City and/or United might not get too much further either if they just use it as a reserve team tournament.

man city didnt walk it last year, beaten in round of 16, pretty much their strongest side too minus Aguero http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/9420004.stm

Weren't Manchester United supposed to walk their champions league group

Giggsy11

Would like ManUtd vs Ajax draw (If that is possible) as SAF can see what a great talent Eriksen is

shangri la

Citys reserve team could finish 7th in the pl imo but betting on outrights in a KO tournament is a dodgy bet at the best of times and stoke dont have much strength in depth so they could field a weak team depending on pl fixtures and points required come feb/march.

From a Chelsea point of view I'd like to avoid Napoli and AC Milan.

I think utd will get that APOEL crowd, they always get a handy draw.

there is a 2% chance of either of them winning it.....

Paco Rodriguez

Hope Milan get an Engish team!!! Come on!

Paco Rodriguez

Hows it going from strength to strength if utd and city are not in?

Raskolnikov

For a league that's dying, interesting to see Italy have the most amount of representatives left in the Champions League. Especially considering that they are set to lose a Champions League place in 2012/2013 to Germany.

Man United have done well to avoid Barcelona.

Every team must fancy there chances seeing as nearly every representative was having a laugh like John Delaney was in Euro 2012 playoff draw.
