That moment when you get knocked out of the EL by Astra Giurgiu two years in a row.

Fuck off http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2398899.html

  • The top four clubs from the four top-ranked national associations will now qualify automatically for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
  • Historical success in the competition will also be acknowledged in coefficient calculation (points for previous European titles with a weighted system for UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League titles)

So less teams for the smaller countries, and teams might now get a higher coefficient because of their results in European football god knows how long ago. Can't wait to see clubs like AC Milan with a high coefficient even tho they haven't performed at all in the last few seasons.



Man city have some odd luck with these groups, when they win the league the new rule about winners being seeded isn't there so they face Barcelona, when it is there, they don't win the league so they face Barcelona. When they don't face Barcelona in the group stage, they face Barcelona in the next stage.

Sucks to be Man City in Europe.

EDIT: On the above. Seems UEFA like money huh? Stupid ruling.



Hmm, pie.

FUCKKKKKK THISSSSS DRAWWWWWWWWWWWW

That's good for Feyenoord though, they have three European titles.

MANCHESTER UNITED, Fenerbahce and Zorya Luhansk



An OK draw for Steaua, with a bit of luck they can finish above Zurich hand take the 2nd place. Astra, however, might be completely fucked.

Ignore them and perform well in the other 2 and they should go through.

It's always annoying when a big spending good team don't do well in regular season and therefore go into things like the Europa.
