andrew_2010 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Is that true? What do we need to get into Pot 2 for sure? Don't we need C****c to beat the Arse? Yup, you are sort of right. Craig is spot on too Basically, the teams that are yet to qualify that are seeded above us are Arsenal, Lyon, Sporting and Panathinaikos. All the teams that they are playing are seeded below us, hence if they were to get knocked out, we would move up a place. After Shaktar Donetsk getting knocked out in the last round, we are now ranked 18th, with the 16th seed getting the final spot in pot 2. Therefore we need 2 from Athletico Madrid, Fiorentina, Anderlecht and Celtic to go through. Chances are Madrid and Fiorentina will win. Tims have no chance. but even if they do, will only help our chances! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 To be fair, there are a bunch of teams in Pot 3 that I wouldnt really want to draw either. But certainly not as strong as the other pot 2 teams. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hopefully Arsenal will in the paedo dome and not turn up and not play like AC and Man U have been guilty of. Think their home record is a bit manufactured as they have played some big teams after they have already qualified etc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 What I find mildly amusing is that in the ET yesterday they were waxing lyrical about how Celtic have now exorcised their demons playing away from home in Europe..... after ONE WIN !! And yet conveniently.... they bang on about how wonderful their home record is..... but they just lost their last home tie. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much their away record in the qualifiers anyway, where the quality of opponent is generally very poor. It's their away record in the competition proper that we've been mocking them for I thought? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite us having contributed more to the co-efficient over the past 5 years (and no doubt past ten or more) how come we never seem to have benefitted from that before.
