Chicken Dancer Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 We will definitely be the team in Pot 4 those in the other pots will be wanting to avoid. I'm definitely not saying we would beat the likes of Bayern, Real Madrid etc at home, but we have a fighting chance of making it very competitive in a one off game with a bouncing St James'. I know the stats show it was more down to sheer luck, but I remember Celtic beating Barcelona back in 2012 at home. I'm sure they had like 16% possession but they went 2-0 up (I think) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Maybe with the exception of Real Sociedad, we'll be the team nobody in pots 1-3 will want in their group. Undecided for me yet if I want us to form part of a group of death, or get an easier draw with a better chance of reaching the knock out stages.

HaydnNUFC Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Regarding the earlier discussion with us in pot 4, want a group that gives us a very good chance of getting to the RO16 but want at least 1 huge club. ie Feyenoord, Real Madrid, Red Star Belgrade, Newcastle. Many other combinations I'd love though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or PSG plus two beatable teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 What's most pleasing about this for me is that during the horrible Ashley years I had an unshakable feeling that the damage he was doing was setting us so far back we would be beyond repair, or that it would take a decade or more. But look where we are off the back of some sensible investment over 18 months. An incredible achievement and one that should make our growth all the quicker. Can't wait for those CL nights next season, I'll be so excited and proud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 With Dortmund bottling the league, Bayern take their place in Pot 1. So we could now get Bayern and Real Madrid… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Very similar to us actually. Qualified for one CL campaign in the late 90s and played it again in the 02/03 season. Been down to the second tier and back. Guessing they'll be pot 4 also, though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 What's the story with Lens? How come they've suddenly had such a worldie season? Tend to think of them as French yo-yoers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
