One month ago I had never even heard of FC Zurich. Now they are in the CL and you want them to finish above Milan and Madrid, it's something special :D
Well I always want Milan to fail and it's fun to see Madrid's 250 M€ go down the drain even if it were at the price of a club like FC Zurich. But that's just me, I am sure many others here would not want FC Zurich to finish above Milan.

Watching Milan trip over a pebble is always amusing, but if the Germans get our 4th spot that wouldn't amuse me at all.

It depends on a lot of things. They can pass to the next stage, but it really won't be easy. Lately, they are on a roll and if you compare it with the form of Bayern, there's a clear difference. I know it's only the start of the season and that it doesn't means much, but if the form of the two teams continue the same way that would be possible. Bayern are still favourite for topping the group, though ...

    What happened to group D? Did Abramovich have the other teams killed and got Chelsea banned?

    Group A

    1. Juventus (I would be surprised if we don`t top this group)
    2. Bordeaux
    3. Bayern Munich
    4. Maccabi Haifa

    1. Man United
    2. Wolfsburg

    2. Milan
    3. Marseille
    4. FC Zurich

    Group D

    1. Chelsea
    2. Porto (I rate Atl Madrid higher but in europe Porto always good)
    3. Atletico de Madrid
    4. APOEL


    Group E

    1. Lyon
    2. Liverpool
    3. Fiorentina

    Group H

    1. Arsenal
    2. AZ Alkmaar
    3. Olympiacos
    4. Standard de Liege (In this group Arsenal would surely qualify but the other team qualifies could be anyone of the other 3...)

    then it depends on the draw of the second round but if we avoid Chelsea Inter and Barca I say we are through another round if we meet them it would be harder to predict
    the final four are going to be four of the next 5 teams Juve Barca Inter Chelsea and Real Madrid

    You don't think Bayern will qualify and think Milan will finish top?
    On current form, YES! I don't really rate Bayern. They can't buy a win if their lives depended on it right now; in addition, I also think Van Gaal is a pathetic excuse for a coach. If Bordeaux catch Bayern on a bad day, and they have been having a lot of those lately, then Bordeaux will expose them. However, if Bayern regain form and establish some form of momentum going into these CL games, I think they will go through with us. However, for now, Bordeaux will just shade it.

    As for Milan qualifying in 1'st, they always seem to up the level of their game when it comes to the CL, and I don't see Marseille or FC Zurich posing too many problems for them. I think they will beat Real at home, and lose away.

    I am more concerned about Juventus, tbh. We should qualify in 1'st place, but when crunch time come around, I am not sure we will be able to suppress the quality that teams such as Barca, Chelsea, and even Man Utd possess with our current FB setup. I think Moli, DC, and Grygera will leave our CB pairing exposed on too many occasions, and we will get punished for that. That is why we need Rafinha and a LB come the January transfer window. I am also not sold on the idea of playing Caceres as a RB/LB; we need him as backup for the CB position, as we currently only have Canna, Chiellini, and Legro for that role.
