Which teams do we want in our group?


Stud mark of doom

Well we're second in the league so it was either comment on a rape case or someone who might or might not be leaving the backroom staff or start something more positive.

 

I am fed up with taking one game at a time. I'm not playing so it doesn't matter if I skip ahead a little.

 

Plus I need to decide how much holiday I need next year.

interesting username and then a thread like this. Things must be getting even more desperate in Fratton. Your all welcome to come visit the itchen bridge if you feel really bad. After you jump you can see St Mary's on the way down too which is beautifully poetic.

**** it I play. No Russian sides,, I would like an easy team, a winnable classic team and a nearish team.

 

So Apoel Nicoisa, Sampdoria and Celtic

 

Due to the way the team are seeded, if we ever made it into the CL, I imagine our group would be pretty tough we'd be the equivalent PFC Ludogorets Razgrad......

Somewhere where they take euros: hopefully any left over after my January skiing holiday will be put by in a spirit of optimism.. I've actually got quite a few € in an Italian account but think I owe most of them to the taxman..

 

Specifically Torino or Juventus would be great, or any other Italian team and if not somewhere cheaper to stay, or even Cyprus where I have rellies..

 

(This post is made in the same spirit as the OP: it's good to dream!)

I'll go for Barcelona, Monaco and Zenit St Petersburg

 

Wouldn't mind that for a few midweek breaks.

 

(Would be even better if Pompey are playing Eastleigh on the same night.)

 

I've been to all three places all lovely places going back to Barcelona on our April cruise with the son and daughter in law so the son and I can do the Nou Camp tour.

I'm not sure whether to do all my cash on the group away games. Or wait for last 16, qtrs and semi. Final in Milan so don't want AC or Inter on the way.

 

You know what saints are like, we'll do it the hard way and beat one of them in the final on their own patch :lol:

we were 3rd 12 months ago

 

we wont be finishing top 4

Great news! With your track record with predictions this is best news we've had, top 4 it is!

(Don't give up the dream, this time two years ago you said we would be so far adrift by Christmas we would be as good as relegated!)

 

Funny how if we start badly you would be happy that we are at the right level, and the table never lies.

 

Start well and its all about early days etc.

 

You, I'm sure, are not 100% confident we will miss top 4, fool if you are.

 

Still, unlikely, but still could easily happen - prob less of a shock for us to continue that it was for us to start this well.

 

Enjoy. Dream. If we drop down to 8th, or whatever, at least you have enjoyed the dream while it lasted.

 

I think our points will be enough for top 4, if others underachieve as they have been. Unfortunately I can see its more likely that ars bal and Man U will improve fair bit.

A European tour would be the absolute perfect excuse to get back to Europe. I do miss it! UK doesn't have much pull obviously, but Rome, Barcelona, Turin, Split (are Hadjuk still in the Champs League? probably not), Monaco etc etc, I'm there.

 

To all those miserable fellows, cheer up, we've already got it in the baaaaag. :)

As the OP implies, its rare that Saints fans would even get the opportunity to be as overoptimistic as this, so take the chance while its here. In the summer, if someone had started a "who will be our rivals for a Europa League place?" thread, they'd have been shouted down as delusional.

My vote: Barca (for the magic), Ajax (for Ron), and Steaua Bucharest (for revenge). Hell, its not unthinkable we could get out of that group.

Whilst I refuse to believe it could actually happen I'm happy to dream so, Ajax, Anderlecht and PSG.

 

Easy to get to and easy to finish 2nd in the group!

 

I definitely don't think we'll do it, but just seen this thread, so out of this year's groups I'd take Real Madrid, Zenit St Petersburg and Anderlecht, something for everyone there.
