No Rangers but looks like a good draw avoiding decent clubs.

Good chances of progressing I think.

[Will]

Krakow and Feyenoord AWAY ?

That would be tasty!

[CAPT KAYOS]

GROUP H

NEWCASTLE

Celta Vigo

Palermo

Fenerbahce

Eintracht Frankfurt

Group of death :ph34r:

[philipl]

Has that been drawn or are you guessing?

[Radagast]

Not a bad draw at all. Newcastle and Spurs' groups look almost suited to the Champions League.

[Gav]

That would be tasty!

Tin hat and travel insurance required!

[cn174]

We've definately got a better draw than the other two english sides

[Nayef]

I don't even know which country some of the teams are from:

Braga? (fashion design?)

Mlada Boleslav? (sounds like a bulgarian butler to me)

Zulte Waregem? (isn't that the name of the next James Bond baddy)

[The Fly]

Is Christian Gross still at Basle?

Feyenoord are alright, Nancy should be beatable. We have to get through from this.

[brfcjon]

Basel(H)

Krakow(A)

Nancy(H)

Feyenoord (A)

I think....

How do you figure?

I was thinking Krakow at Ewood due to the cold conditions during winter and pre draw that huy said something about taking weather into account....

And I am rather pleased with this group. Not a money maker but winable.

Good think we didnt get group C...

Taking the weather into account means teams from the artic circle (Russai) play both their home games first, then travel for their two away games.

Braga is Portuguese, whilst Mlada Boleslav is a very decent team from the Czech Republic. As for Zulte.. the flag says Polish

[brfcjon]

ahhh ok! cheers.

Didnt know I lived in the artiv cricle though - Denmark...

[Presty On Tour]

Mlada Boleslav is a tiny village in the Czech Republic....the football team is so good because they are this countries version of Chelsea. They have rich owners who have poured money into the club. They had a great season last year and are now top of the league...about 5 points clear of Sparta and Slavia who are both quite terrible. The village Mlada Boleslav is also where Skoda is made.

Krakow away would be a good day out...great little town!

[FourLaneBlue]

Bert gets to play his old team...

and Christian Gross is still the manager at Basel.

[squaylor]

I think Wagerem is in Belgium, isn't it?

For our away games, I vote for Krakow and Nancy - if you like touristy history stuff. And beer and food.

[The1mattjansen]

Basle and Feyenoord have been respectable champions league sides in recent years, and Nancy will be no pushovers, I cant see where the optimism is coming from.

[herbergeehh]

Sorry, you are right squaylor - the flag also says Belgium!

[roversmum]

You're right. Remember we are Rovers Supporters......

Oh, woe is us, woe, woe and thrice woe. We stand no chance. Who's coming to jump off the top of the Jack Walker? We might as well end it all now. Despair, utter despair................... :ph34r:

[AggyBlue]

Respective league positions:-

Feyenoord - 9th

Basle - 5th

Krakow - 3rd

Nancy - 3rd

[herbergeehh]

Rovers 9th.

It's a battle for fourth place then.
