FlippinEck 3,680 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Being in pot 2 is only good because we will avoid a group like Man U/Real... Chelsea/Inter... but Pot 3 still has some fantastic teams in it, the only one I would really like right now would be Olympiakos, BJK or Stuttgart Worst group for us? Man U/Rangers/Atletico Madrid/Wolfsburg Barcelona/Rangers/Marseilles/Wolfsburg Best group? Sevilla/Rangers/Olympiakos/Apoel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersKenny 0 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Why do Arsenal, who had to go through the qualifying stage, automatically go into Pot 1? I know they are awesome just now, but surely the ratings must be taken from last years standings? Or is it just cos theyre in the EPL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGers 96 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Any team from pot 1 will be difficult. Atletico is the team I'd most want to avoid from 3, and obviously Wolfsburg from pot 4 would be extremely difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(otherwise, all the teams who had to qualify would be in pot 4 i suppose!) Thanks mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenose_72 198 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I love hearing us mentioned in Pot 2. It sounds absolutely fucking brilliant. Can't wait until tomorrow when they say "And Scottish champions for a 52nd time, Rangers, will be alongside Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Juventus in Pot 2 for the 09/10 Champions League Group Stage draw."
