Ugh, there goes that dreaded Russia trip. I'm SURE we'll advance from that group, barring us ****ting the bed like last time we were here.

Soon as I seen CSKA Moscow get called up, I had a good feeling they would end up in the same group at ManU.

Poor Celtic.

The exposure (and cash) they get from playing PSG and Bayern twice will make up for crashing out of the group stage. Expectations are pretty low.

Might have a North London derby in the Europa League at some point.

They'll get a result against one of them at home I bet.

I would love that. I don't expect Spurs to advance through the group but they could give Dortmund a good couple of matches.

Spurs can get through that group. Dortmund are not invincible by any means. But that would mean Spurs winning a big match. Something they have just a bit of a problem with.

You can make a pretty good argument Spurs are better than Dortmund and should get through the group stage. Both teams are among my favorites, so I'd love to see both get through. Not happening but I'd enjoy It!

Rose will be back soon, and Sanchez will start to get integrated into the team. Dembele looks to be gone from Dortmund, and quite honestly, I like Spurs' roster more at this point. Then there's the whole Wembley and big game situation. If they get past that, they can most certainly move on.

And not to mention the Wembley factor. The talk of a Hoodoo is ridiculous but this horrible run must affect the players somewhat.

I also think the Wembley thing is overblown. It's just Spurs being themselves tbh.

I think it is all over blown to be honest. I know I'm a Spurs fan so I am more biased but last season during the CL stages they played half the games with Aldy and Kane. Two huge leaders. Also Monaco were much better than people thought.
Losing the tie to Gent was embarrassing but they still drew the 2nd leg at Wembley vs them playing with 10 men once Dele was sent off.

The FA cup semi-final loss was actually a good match they played. Chelsea were just better. Same with last week.

People like to say they struggle at Wembley, which they do but it's not because it's Wembley. It's because they are always playing good teams when they are playing there. The quality of play is usually pretty good.

Seriously

I was already pissed they get seeded #2 because of the damn Europa League but their draw is only upstaged by the absolute cakewalk Liverpool got.

Poor APOEL, they're gonna have a crazy GD against IF Spurs can stop sucking when it matters.

Soooo I'll be in London when Spurs host Real Madrid on Nov 1.

Anyone know how to go about buying CL tickets? I've got some researching to do...
