Seems just opponents. May possibly know the the weeks we play each team but not the dates (not sure about that. Would think everything will be sorted by Monday at the latest.

gbandit Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 We’re the best side in pot 4 I’d say. Pot 3 were better than more than half the sides. It’s pot 2 and pot 1 where the majority are better than us generally Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 What is the easiest possible draw then? I'd say Feyenoord/RB Leipzig/Crvena Zvezda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 1 glamour team + 2 poor teams from nice places (Copenhagen, Braga etc) Also, I've had the UCL theme as my alarm clock for the past 3 months so the buzz is actually off the scale. Can't wait for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited August 30, 2023 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Still half of the idea it’d be good to get two giants, finish 3rd and drop in to the Europa League and win it in Dublin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, absolutely fair comment and one I completely agree with. I’d forgotten they’ll be strong favourites, at least until the CL teams drop in, if they take it seriously.

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.

Disco Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Genuinely shuddering at the thought of getting griefed by some part time kopite from (checks notes) Kildare wearing a Liverpool half and half Celtic shirt after Allison scores a last minute winner.

Yeah, you go into a 2 legged knockout round against teams who come second in their Europa League group. See Man Utd v Barcelona last season for example. Win that and you’re into last 16.

Yup, I don’t agree from a point of competition organisation as a whole but we should absolutely be in Europe come February regardless of who we draw IMO. Cannot wait.

Karjala Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Hoping for one glamour team, and then 2 we feel we are better than. Main goal for me would be finishing at least 3rd and continuing on with European matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
