It's only the group of death for PSG Dortmund and Milan, because they are in here with us. 🤣

Even though it's difficult st James Park will be rocking for those games, we'll be capable of getting points in the group I feel
I'll Hazard a guess

Some great away trips in that group and generally affordable destinations.

Might have to pop to Paris to see some mates the day of the away fixture. Bugger all chance of getting a ticket but can hit a bar or two with them.

Messaged a mate in Milan as well to keep his spare room free.

With our home crowd I wouldn't put it past us finishing 3rd. But then we drop down to the Europa which means a lot more game.

Wow. The problems we have now haha

I'd think the home ones will be a ballot like the league

Be nice for Mbappe to have a tour of his future home stadium and meet his fans.

What a draw! Delighted with that.

Does anyone know when the dates for the games are confirmed. Eager to get some flights booked.

Not for a while, weirdly enough that crossed my mind earlier today!

Next day or two. I'm hoping we play Tuesdays so Brentford moves.

I know the story here will be about how tough the group is for us, but let's be realistic the biggest hope was to get out the group beyond that what really is there for us barring an extra round maybe, not a chance we can have a significant run in this competition really so at least we get to butt heads with some of the biggest teams in the competition and potentially still drop into the Europa League or whatever it is now, we might even throw up a surprise and squeeze into the next round, I definitely fancy us to give those teams a run for their money at SJP.

The bookies have us second favourite for the group, I can see us getting through. Milan aren't fantastic (and we just pinched their captain), and Dortmund are still decent but not as strong as they have been.

As soon as the 3 teams were drawn in Group F, I knew we'd be the 4th. Nightmare scenario for qualification at first look but Colly makes a valid point.

If we win our home games and pick up a point or 2 away we're comfortably through.

I'm off to live in Turin so keen to see when the Milan game is at SS.

Group of Death- we will do very well to get out of that

Isn't this what CL is all about?

I may be wrong - but I have a feeling we have never played a competitive game against either of these 3 teams?

Not since 1969 anyhow ?
