    copy + paste.

    I like Bayern's group, because the players get the chance for early revenge. Time to show the world who should've made it to the Final. PSV and Rostov are easy.

    Also like Leverkusen's chances, but Gladbach again got ****ed. Third place is realistic.

    UEFA seriously should rethink the new ranking procedure. Group B and E are a joke.

    Looks odd to see the lack of Chelsea or Manchester United on here.

    CSKA, Leverkusen and Monaco aren't ****e teams. I think that group has teams that are evenly matched. Anything can happen!

    Sux for City to get Barca again but i'm sure they can get out of their group...will all due respect to Gladbach and none Celtic.

    Looking forward to seeing how Leicester, Sevilla and Lyon perform in their individual groups.

    Mediocre season or bad season.

    Serves them right but I think they will bounce back soon enough.

    Bundesliga back in a few minutes with Bayern vs Werder as the opener. Finally!

    Predictions anyone? Bayern will make it five in a row of course. 2nd tier Dortmund and Leverkusen, after them Gladbach, Schalke and Mainz. Relegation candidates are Darmstadt, Ingolstadt, Bremen, Frankfurt, maybe Hoffenheim. Don't think there'll be a surprise team like Hertha last year. I guess there will be a mediocrity race and not much room between 7-8th and 13-14th place.

    Schalke had some superb transfers, could end up 3rd or 4th.

    Lewandowski alone should've scored at least three goals. Guess Werder will collapse in the final minutes, 4-0 or 5-0 is the minimum.

    So glad that we finally have a likeable coach again, and not a false snake.

    In the way he treats players who are not his favourites. He doesn't tell them straight up. He will always tell the media "oh yes, he is the best, I wish I had 1,000 of him". Then proceeds to not play him a minute. But he doesn't go straight up to the player and say "I am not planning with you" either. Etc. I don't even want to think about that guy anymore.

    As we're seeing him do at Man City already with Joe Hart and Yaya. Although he played those two midweek, It'll be interesting to see if either of them ever get to play for City again.

    Arsenal pays 40M € for Mustafi. :rolleyes: Looking forward to the day, that bubble named Premier League is bursting.
