Why feel sorry for a rival ? I hope they get smashed , same with Manure

I feel sorry for them, but not that sorry

I think it's a tough group for them as well but don't feel sorry for them at all

I remember Red Star knocking us out of the European Cup when I was a kid. We actually changed our style of play after that defeat, the likes of Shankly and Paisley noted how comfortable Red Star's defenders were on the ball and instead of big bruising centre halves like Larry Lloyd we moved Phil Thompson from midfield into defence and scoured the country for young up and coming ball playing CB's like Alan Hansen.
It's going to be nostalgic for me to see us play them again.

The draw

Feel they will all be big challenges away but I fancy us to beat Napoli and Red Star at home. PSG games will be fire what with their front line shooting out against ours. Not easy but wonderful entertainment.

We'll go through fairly comfortably
Imo , more about whether we can finish above PSG and get 1st place. We will have too much for Napoli. They're are a good team with an experienced manager in charge but they won't be able to live with our speed of play.

City will cruise their group. Utd have a tricky group imo. The Valencia games could be really tricky.

Spurs group looks difficult on paper but both Inter and PSV are not really the teams they used to be. Inter will pose them questions but think spurs will probably edge 2nd behind Barca.

Let's hope Man Utd get stuffed home and Away versus the young boys.
Valencia will give them a game I'm sure and they will definitely get stuffed by Juventus.

Don't feel so positive as the rest of you. I believe we'll go through but I think we got the hardest group.

Interesting draw we've got some epic game which will be difficult. Well time has come now when squad players will be given a chance. PSG is a mouth watering tie i can't wait.

Just realised we've got Chelsea at Home in the Caraboa cup. Tough fixture to begin with.

Chelsea twice in space of 4 days and City after that.

With us being in pot 3 we were always going to be in a group with 2 other half decent sides, one good thing about being drawn in the same group as a potential winner like PSG is that if we both get out of the group we can't meet again until the final.

Group D. 
Who gives a rat's a$$!!

Should make for some magical Europeans nights of football

These days the fans of those other 3 clubs should lamenting that draw far more than us

PSG should be CL favorites along with City. Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli will be a big test for us and Red Star are no mugs. A lot of talk about Spurs having the hardest group but I'd rather have Barcelona and Inter rather than PSG and Napoli. I think the first 2 games of the CL will be decisive for us.

Not unhappy with that draw. I always view the pot 2 sides as more dangerous than the more 'known' quantities in pot 1. I'm glad we didn't get Group G - pairing us with Madrid and Roma would have felt a bit samey given last season.

PSG are a good side, no doubt about it but they love bottling the CL, they have it too easy in their league so we can beat them at Anfield.

Not sure how Napoli will cope going from Sarri's style to Ancelotti - Carlo has proven he's no mug in Europe - but they didn't cope well when they came up against a half decent side.

Red Star is anyone's guess.

Win our home games and we'll be fine
