Forking hell

The only reason I know this is because I am a sad tw*t and watched last year's draw on youtube on Monday to cheer me up after Sunday.

The teams from countries that have 4 representatives are split into pairings for TV purposes - so can have 2 Spanish teams play on a Tuesday and 2 on a Wednesday, by the look of the above Real Madrid must be paired with Sevilla. Groups A-D will play one night and E-F another. Only E and F have second seed slots left.

33 hours to go.

Aye

Looking back at last year's draw - the draw was on Thu 25/08/22, yet clubs did not seem to announce their specific fixtures (which teams they were facing on which dates) until after 9am on Sat 27/08/22. Note sure if there is going to be the same delay this year. It could be we will know the group Thu but not necessarily the dates, etc until Sat.

Aye, that is what I thought also.

I did one of those draw simulators on line.....got this.... Some group that...

Does anyone know which TV channel the draw on Thursday is on? I feel a trip to the pub to watch it could be in order. Or cans at the very least.

Eddie maybe got some things wrong yesterday, but he is a good manager. I'm not saying he's should be immune from criticism, but for me its a bad day at the office, learn, move on.

Aye it was gutting yesterday, I agree with what some have said about the substitutions, but then again there may have been fatigue, etc issues that were a factor. We throw away a 1 goal lead and got beat off 10 men, when that happens the manager will get criticed and that is fair enough. However Eddie is a good manager none the less. A few of the lads just look a bit out of form, doesn't make them bad players. It's just one of those days where you've got to just take it on the chin. Onwards and upwards. HWTL.

Needed cheering up after yesterday's heartbreak...so watched last year's CL group stage draw on YouTube- a bit sad I know....can't wait for Thursday now.

Spot on....it hurts today but done now...learn our lessons and move on...CL draw Thursday...HWTFL....

I tell you what lads...let's hoy Eddie under this bus..yeah why not...f*ck the c*nt...worst manager we've ever had (he was fine and dandy 15 days ago)...come on man...he made mistakes today...OK...he's a good manager....CL draw Thursday....HWTFL

Yep

Whoever everythingnufc his...he's a helmet

Didn't understand a couple of the substitusions...however I'm behind Eddie 100%...look what he's done for us man...hard one to bare today...one of the worst I've ever felt when walking out of SJP...done now...its how we bounce back..

When I go on cup schemes the CL bit says 2 tickets! When I click on the tickbox next to it and then click tickets on the right hand side it takes me to another screen and lists 3 tickets but match day one has a status of waived? I assume yours does not say waived?

The 2nd and 3rd £55s were due to come out of the bank today. Just checked account and it has not come out yet. Has anyone else who is in the scheme had the money taken from their account?

The way I feel about the Saudi ownership is that some of their actions are abhorrent to me, but I can seperate that from NUFC, I accept and respect not everyone can or does, but I can and I do. I also think a lot of people use it as a convenient stick to beat us with.

360 defecated his pants, no 2 ways about it.

Agree with this - we are in the best place we have been for f*cking years, yet one dip in form, delay in things happening, etc, etc and people fall to pieces.

That's a fair point.

It may not be related...guess time will tell...I know lads with 100s of points who maybe only go to 5 aways a season but pass tickets on to others (not saying that is fair btw)...so in essence you may get say 10 lads who rotate going to matches on say 2 season tickets with 200 points...8 of the lads may have no points so can no longer go...people with say 20 points now can...so the mix in the away end is different....not necessarily worse in terms of noise...but different...time will tell if last night was a one off.

Wasn't there but by what I could hear on TV we were shit in terms of noise which is a worry....question for anyone who was there.....were they doing ID checks on the gate?
