I really wanted real madrid but ah well. I guess this means that the group stage will take less out of our squad.

Can't wait for a repeat of the Liege thrashing of 1993, anyone remember McGoldricks one and only Arsenal goal that night? What a beauty!

Thanks Moony. That does make sense.

Not published yet, they have to get all the various weird things like that game can't be played in that city on that night because...

I think last year the final fixtures came out the following day.

The only game that seems to fall before a big league game is the liverpool game, we play olympiacos away while liverpool play fiorentina at home, hopefully we will be qualified by then

Yes, and AW might not sign anyone because the current squad will qualify for the knockout stage without strengthening. But in the knockout stage itÂ´s over...
