To be fair they've done well to get to 6th, that spot really should be taken by the Portuguese or Dutch (even the Turks or Greeks at a push) if either of them had got their acts together
The Russians offered the most money to UEFA simple as that.

Over us is ridiculousChelsea being Pot 1 over Real is ridiculous.

Great use of icons there.PSG, Olympiacos And Atalanta. Tougher group keeps us more focused.
Inter, Bremen, Twente (seen as tough)
Monaco, Leverkusen, CSKA (seen as favourable)
Madrid, Dortmund, APOEL (given little hope)
Barca, Inter, PSV (tough and proved to be so)
We’re a feared team I believe. People want to avoid us, not the other way around.
From the top I guess we are due a game against PSG - I can't ever recall playing them in recent times? Or Bayern in a competitive game.
Would like another trip to Prague if possible.
Overall just want to avoid long trips to Russia / Ukraine.
It's a well-documented calculation of the strengths of different leagues.The Russians offered the most money to UEFA simple as that.
This is always my thinking - where might I be able to get a ticket for? Unfortunately the bigger stadiums tend to be in bigger cities that are easier to get to, so the number of fans wanting to go there is higher too, and the LP cut-off stays high.Give me some nice away days with decent sized stadiums ......
Bayern Munich (719 miles, 75,000 stadium)
Lyon (583 miles, 59,186 stadium)
Young Boys (614 miles, 32,000 stadium)
I think everyone would love a trip to Paris or Munich. Long overdue, as you say. Prague would be great, but they've got a measly fucking little 20k stadium, tickets would be impossible for most. Thankfully we can't get a Ukrainian team. Personally I'd quite like Dinamo Zagreb, would be a fun city to visit and I don't think a massive number would make the trip so I might get a ticket.From the top I guess we are due a game against PSG - I can't ever recall playing them in recent times?

It is and I definitely would love to go back there. Their supporters are a bit naughty though.Definitely hope for Zenit in Pot 1. Always heard that St.Petersburg is an incredibly beautiful city. Would be very costly but def worth the trip.
