/edit - lol beaten

City have a tough draw. Think Pompey and Villa are out.

 

[Nursie]

With 3 teams going through, both Villa and Pompey should progress(depending on who they play at home).

 

[Gilly]

Forgot it was three teams. Stupidity.

 

[Twinblade]

We have a relatively easy draw, could be hard if we have to travel to Moscow rather than play them at the Lane. However, the way we are playing at the moment I cannot see us qualifying.

Portsmouth have a hard draw, but think Villa have the worst of the 4 English sides.

 

[G|mp]

Ouch, bad draw for EPL teams :/

Portsmouth vs AC Milan, can't wait for that one

Tottenham should make it. But then they should've beaten Hull.

Fixtures haven't been drawn yet have they?

 

[Nursie]

Fixtures haven't been drawn yet have they?

No, not yet. TBH the groups can all look worse or better depending on who you play at home and who you play away

 

[MooMoo444]

The groups were posted earlier no?.. Sorry I have no idea how the uefa cup works tbh

 

[Drawoh Tesremos]

a few mins ago, i heard that it would be about 30 mins before we find who's at home and who's away in each match

Each fixture is only played out once, so Portsmouth will only play AC either home or away, not both

You play each team once. you get 2 games at home and 2 away

Oh I don't mind if its home/away, I'd just love to see AC Milan playing pompey

 

[Tunney]

With three teams going through from each group, there should be no excuses for any of the English teams not qualifying from their group.

Beat the bottom two seeds and you're easily through. Even Villa with their "tough" group should easily see off Slavia Prague and MSK Zilina.

 

[el_dazza]

We need Slavia and MSK at home really. Tough group for us though, 3 teams that could really beat us. Ajax at Villa would be interesting should it occur.
