Pretty hard set of fixtures, but at least we have most of the tougher ones at home.

I don’t mind this new set up tbh. Some interesting matches against teams I’ve never seen us come up against before in living memory.

Mottaball in Europe. Can’t wait.

 

[Bianconero81]

Top 8 is unrealistic target. We should aim at top 16 to get an easier opponent in the 1/32.

Why is it unrealistic? Unlikely? Possibly.

Aside from City, the other games are manageable. Leipzig are tough, and playing them away is going to be very tricky. Villa away will definitely be difficult. However, it all depends on the order of the fixtures. For example, if we play City in the last fixture, we might even be able to get all 3 points, depending on their position in the overall table at that point.

I'd also like to say Fuck Cefelis, sitting throughout the draw like the smug entitled cunt that he is. Brazen, Obnoxious, and repulsive - what a despicable pseudo human shitcunt.

The audacity to shit on the Super League, mock it in that cringo Intro, and then pilfer the idea is just next level thievery.

Not easy, but not tough either, will be disappointing to not make it

That is precisely why. We have 1 almost certain loss against City and 1 almost certain win against Brugge. All of the other games are basically 50/50. Can we win them all? Sure. Is it realistic in our current state? Nope. That's why aiming for top 8, which will require going something like 6-2 probably, is unrealistic.

City and Aston Villa will be the toughest. We should be able to manage others eventhough Leipzig is a threat. We're pretty shit if we don't make it imo.

What's the tie breaker for even points after the 8 games, after the obvious goal difference/goal scored etc ?

Obviously should wait for Saturday for the schedule to be announced but mathematically 3 wins and a draw is enough to progress to next round (9 to 24), a win or two more would get you into the mix competing for top 8 spot..

I was a member well over 10 years ago, then rejoined again recently under their new brand with the same name, for £30 a year its worth it for me as we go to a number of Notts county games too as we have affiliations with people at that club too. Also just to get home and away tickets it's better than being a Juventus club member to only get home tickets. I enjoy the social aspect of the fan club too.

Nice, I remember receiving a scarf a pendant, and an issue of hurra magazine. Would love it if there's one in Manchester. Though I'll probably join the one in Glasgow, just because I find myself in Scotland more than London.

 

[Knowah]

I feel like our draw isn't bad at all. City is probably the hardest team outside Real from Pot 1 so that's a rough draw but otherwise I feel like every match is winnable.

Benfica home helps. Leipzig, Lille, and Villa away are rough but also very beatable opponents imo.

My rough estimate:
- City home: 1-2
- @ Leipzig: 2-2
- Benfica home: 2-1
- @Brugge: 4-1
- PSV home: 3-1
- @Lille: 2-3
- Stuttgart: 2-1
- @Aston Villa: 2-1

16/24

Da fuck is this shit? They haven't decided on the order of games either. And some teams playing multiple clubs from the same country like Leverkusen playing both Milan? Bollocks to UEFA.

You will know on Saturday, so I was told like five fucking times during the draw

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

This new format is weird as hell. I don't like that everyone has different opponents.

 

[Vlad]

Why would we lose against City? We shouldnt fear anyone. Top 8 is certainly achievable. Worst case scenario we end up 9-24.

 

[Siamak]

We are supposed to be the bride of this group

 

[Badass J Elkann]

So basically I have to wait till Saturday for the fixture dates as I'm planning on being in Turin from the 18th - 22nd October for at least the home game vs lazio. If we get a home CL game I may extend my stay by a day or 2 just so I get to watch 2 Juve games at home in the space of days.

 

[Siamak]

New format. New draw.
