AEK Athens can be quite tough if their fans decide to get all hostile (Or are actually allowed into the game )

Obviously, but UEFA are too concerned with the political mess that is the voting for presidency. By 'offering' more smaller nations entry to the CL proper by removing their champions from the quali process, more of them get entry at the expense of better teams (and thus making the CL weaker in the process).
And its all done to guarentee Platini enough votes to remain in charge come the next election.

I dont mind, its just frustrating that everything is down to politics these days.

City/Juve could be good! Although i expect City to win quite comfortably.

Anyone else notice they made a huge mistake in the draw? or am i imagining things?

They said Palmero cannot be drawn in Liverpool's group because of TV clashing between clubs from the same country (sampdoria) in the same 'tv block'.
And then they go and draw an Italian club in the next pot?

Edited first post.
