Teams that have qualified to the group stage are as follows.

Posted Image

* United are ranked higher than Chelsea because we finished ahead of them in the league (we are on the same rank points)
** The 2nd leg of the Sevilla / AEK tie is yet to be played to to the postponement out of respect for Antonio Puerta. (to be played Sept 3rd)





The draw for the group stages is scheduled for the 30th August (today) and will occur in the wee hours of tomorrow our time...

i'll be up for it mate, can't wait to see who we get drawn with.

great news that we're in pot 1. who would you like to get? i reckon we could beat pretty much any team from pots 2, 3 and 4...so we should get a decent draw.

dunno if i want roma though...they'll be out for revenge.

I don't think I want Lyon, Roma or Sevilla (presuming they get through) from pot 2 or Celtic from pot 3...

But other than that I'm confident about this year - we have the squad to do it... But at this stage we won't have Rooney till Matchday 5 or 6 (to be played on 27-28 Nov [Day 5] or 11-12 Dec [Day 6])...

i feel sorry for any club who draws sevilla to be honest....tricky draw especially now because of the emotions involved.

I dunno about 3 weeks... My estimat is very conservative I'll give you that... But from my experience United never rush players back...

http://www.manchesterunited.vitalfootball....cle.asp?a=80760

he's 'quite positive' roon will be back in 3 weeks. that's a pretty good sign.

'Wayne is jogging. He's doing fine,' Fergie confirmed

That's brilliant!!!!! I know playing top flight football and jogging are two VERY different things but it is a very positive sign!!

Rooney has no penis.

Juventus will win the champions league next next year...lol

BTW... Juve are looking the good already and the squad will just keep getting stronger.

Juve also only ever play to win. Look out !!!!

mate that is amazing, that means that over the past 5 seasons Chelsea & Man u have done equally well in Europe? the rankings dont really matter that much for the draw because isnt every team in the 4 'pools' given equal ranking when the do the draw? (ignoring hot & cold balls of course)

i want lyon / valencia in Chelsea's group, means provided we top the group we should get a fairly easy 2nd round match.
