If we get through it’ll be nice to see an english team not named tottenham hotspur actually play a team that has a pulse

I hope we get City.

Facing the hard teams has given us a steel that will come into play in the next round if we get there.

Not sure how much this has improved our co efficient as we need to get into the 2nd tier to save getting 2 tough opponents in the group stage if we qualify next season. Whilst some supporters love playing the tough teams it is better to get through and only having 1 tough team is an advantage that other English teams have over us.

Weird thing to say after we beat 2 tough teams easily in the group this year. Was far greater motivation having them in our group than the shite we had last year.

I'm not sure how having an apparently easy group had any bearing on what clubs the other English teams drew in the round of 16. There was a fairly even spread of the best teams across those that finished 1st and 2nd in their groups, so it's really just luck of the draw.

I know it was luck of the draw but many on this forum were saying they wanted to play a top team but that would happen eventually but better to progress against a lesser team than go out before the quarter final. After all we wanted to win the group to hope to get an easier tie and got Juventus, last season's finalists.
As to the group stages if we have an easier group then qualifying is more likely and we can do some rotation which helps in the Premiership.

also...
lets not forget we are still CL new boys.
The classic "top 4" have been almost ever present in the CL for 20 years, just 4 trophies between them in that time......in 2010/11 we were smashed by Madrid, last year we were terrible, this season we smashed the group and were very competitive against a "european giant" in Juventus.
if we are in the CL every season for the next 20 years and haven't won in then the term bottlers can be used.

Do you mean like a certain club from South London?

So we would have drawn Real Madrid in the QF.
Apoel Dortmund, Real, Juve and the Real again.
Talk about doing it the hard way.
The. 10/11 campaign would have seen us face Barca in the semis if we’d have beaten Real Madrid in the QF
