Only way spurs would be in pot 2 is if both Porto and man city lose in the play off rounds.  Very unlikely tbh 

[fuchsntf]

Dont worry lads n lasses, we will be drawn into the group of Death...then kill em all.

We dont do easy, we are ....well you all know who  we are...!!

 

por lo generale, mata a gente por dinero, usted es mi amigo que lo mate por nada..

Nosotros, que somos conocidos como los que no tienen miedo...

But surely playing Red Bull Salzburg opens the door for all sorts of zany chants.

Makes absolutely no odds as if spurs are in pot 2 it means man city have been knocked out

Not as easy to get to compared to other places as far as I can tell.  I could be wrong but think it's flight into Munich and then train from there 

There's direct flights from Gatwick and Luton to Salzburg.

Great. I was looking earlier around the first game week dates and couldn't see direct.  Was probably putting it in wrong 

[Vegeta]

frankly I prefer a hard group instead of an easy group...

Do you hope we get Man City in the 3rd round of the FA Cup as well?

I'd be unsure of anything on social media these days, but it's possible apparently they do have 50,000 people of ST waiting list.....according to a Spurs fan I know anyway.

[Stevosevic]

Their fan base is huge in fairness.

 

And i imagine alot of tickets bought with the intention of selling on. Champions league in London at Wembley - tourists will love it.

[CosbehFox]

Revised possible opponents after the last qualifying round and based on rankings 

 

Pot 2 - A. Madrid, B.Dortmund, FC Porto*, Napoli, Sevilla, B. Leverkusen 

 

Pot 3 - Basel, D. Kiev, Lyon, Villarreal*, Ajax*, PSV Eindhoven and Sporting Lisbon 

 

Pot 4 - Legia Warsaw*, Borussia Mochengladbach*, Club Brugge, Red Bull Salzburg*, Besiktas, V.Plzen*, Celtic*, APOEL Nicosia* 

 

* = need to qualify

 

[Manwell Pablo]

Oh dear, Celtic fans getting the air miles in this year  

 

enjoy the West Bank lads  

 

City Roma.....Interesting.

Would be very interesting given that Man City drew Steaua Bucharest and Roma drew Porto.

[Dan]

Play-off draw...

 

Champions route:

Ludogorets v Viktoria Plzen

Celtic v Hapoel Be'er-Sheva

Kobenhavn v APOEL Nicosia

Dundalk v Legia Warsaw

Dinamo Zagreb v RB Salzburg

 

League route:

Steaua Bucharest v Manchester City

Porto v Roma

Ajax v Rostov

Young Boys v Gladbach

Villarreal v Monaco

 

My preferred winner in bold.

[AKCJ]

If we were a London team who managed to get Wembley to be their home for the Champions League and you could get three games for 80 quid then we'd have sold out too.

 

 

[RowlattsFox]

Man City will be fine you'd imagine. I expect Celtic to do enough too and Dundalk have a chance (i don't know how good Legia are really)

They took a picture of the board at the live draw and screen had it the other way round so their fault, well either they did or I've had a mare, but given they've now deleted the tweet in question I am guessing it's the former. 

[leicesterseddon]

Out of interest, does anyone know when the group stage fixture list is likely to be confirmed?

 

The draw is taking place on 25th August, so we'll find out then who we've got in our group. 

 

However presumably the actual fixture list (i.e. so we know which day we'll be playing on, when we're away/home etc.) will have to be drawn up after that. 

 

At the moment all we have are the dates for the six 'matchdays' - but these aren't exact dates...

 

Does anyone know how the process works?

Yeah it's an alphabetical thing so near enough straight away.

It should be within the hour I believe. They have a set format of 1 v 4, 2 v 3 etc. But then that needs to be put into a computer to make sure only 2 teams from the same country are playing on the same day etc etc.
