E or H I'm on my fucking knees UEFA pls

Give Milan to City I beg

Watch it be PSG, Dortmund, Milan and us.

We'll be in E-H

New format is fucking vile, la'. Just glad we've qualified for the usual way once more.

This piano and sax stuff.

Liverpol would go into the CL and their EL spot would be vacated, no extra spots for teams below them.

Yep. Shorter than Napoli and last year's runners up Inter.

Dunno whether this is odd or not but I don't fear Lazio like I do Milan. Maybe the Tonali factor or that Milan have an amazing history in this competition whereas Lazio don't. Even though Lazio finished 2nd in Serie A.

Want 2 teams we should be looking to take 4 points off at least and 1 giant.

Qualified for the second group stage when there were two, and we were. Until Atalanta did it in 2019-20.

This all feels slightly surreal still. How were people for this in '97 and '02 if they can remember? I'm fucking giddy like a child. (will then proceed to be the most miserable cunt on the planet if I can't get tickets but cross that bridge when we come to it)

Got 77/100, not bad for someone who wasn't alive when a lot of the things on there happened. Is from 2020 so some questions are slightly outdated. https://www.sporcle.com/games/NUFCThreatLevel/nufcthreatlevel-xmas-2020-quiz

Come on, man. Sunday was bad enough.

Totally get the sentiment, like. Bloody love Dublin to the point of where I'd travel over without a ticket tbh if we got there and we're more likely to get to the final of the EL than the final of CL. But if Liverpool are arsed about it the EL is theirs imo (especially as top 4 for them is not wholly a given, the EL is another path into the CL for them) and I want to avoid playing them where possible atm. As long as we don't get a nightmarish group tomorrow of PSG or Bayern and Real Madrid I think we'll get to the QFs. European football into April, be bloody chuffed with that.

Think I'd rather stick pins in me baals than have to play Liverpool in either a final in Dublin or in a 2 legged European tie.

That scenario is why Livramento is a very good signing. Otherwise we'd have had to play Trippier in all those games or Manquillo against Man City. Wouldn't fancy giving Krafth Man City as his first competitive game back.

By the time the Pot 4 teams start to be drawn we'll know which group(s) we're going to be in. The groups are split into 2 really, A, B, C and D one one side and E, F, G and H on the other. Man City & Man Utd can't be on the same side, so we won't be on the same side as Arsenal. Those 3 clubs will all be drawn before us so that'd leave an absolute maximum of 3 groups we could go into by the time they start drawing the Pot 4 clubs. That'll narrow down the later on we're drawn. On top of that, when there's 4 teams from the same league in the CL, only 2 can be on the same side of the groups for TV reasons. When there's 2 teams from the same league in the CL, they will be on separate sides to each other. So Italian, German and Spanish teams (Sevilla being EL winners skews this slightly but it still applies) plus the Dutch, French and Portuguese teams may also limit the options we have by the time our name comes out. So there probably will only be an option of 2 groups or even just a solitary group for us to go into. So we'll likely know where we're going well before our name is drawn out. If that all makes sense.

Aye, same.

Get tae fuck.

No spaces tonight. Fuck sake.

Everton Spaces have been naff so far this season so hoping an early cup exit will light the touch paper for fume which when channelled correctly could be used as nuclear fission.
