Looking at the qualifiers for the last CL, we have:

* Celta Vigo vs. Slavia Praha
* Depor vs. Rosenborg
* Marseille vs. Austria Wien
* Newcastle losing to Partizan (oops)
* Dynamo Kiev vs. Dynamo Zagreb
* Chelsea vs. Zilina
* Celtic vs. MTK Hungaria
* Grasshopper losing to AEK Athinai (hmmm...)
* Lokomotiv Moskva vs. Shakhtar Dinetsk
* Sparta Praha vs. Vadar Skopje
* Galatasaray vs. CSKA Sofia
* Anderlecht vs. Wisla Krakow
* Lazio vs. Benefica
* Ajax vs. Grazer AK
* Rangers vs. Kobenhavn FC
* Dortmund losing to Club Brugge (ouch)

So overall, I'd say our chances in the qualifiers are very good. Look at how deep some of the winners went -- and this is true for many eventual CL champions in past tournaments.

If we don't make it past the qualifiers, we'd probably have to screw things up worse than we did at any time this past season.

    From the uefa site:-


    The 2004/05 season will see the start of UEFA's club licensing system. In order for a club to be admitted to any of the UEFA club competitions, minimum standards in areas including sporting matters, infrastructure, personnel and administration, legal matters and financial matters must be fulfilled.

    I was so paranoid that I dreamt that we'd be meeting madrid. oh god, I hope it won't be difficult.
    Maybe we need that kick up the ass
