Informative.

I wouldn’t mind getting Midget Land again here. Their celebrations against us irked me and I think we’d give them a good beating now Ange has had time with the players.

Wow. The final is in Seville this season. It’s an omen for Celtic.

A lovely variety of options across all pots there.

Everything from high end, fashionable places with fancy dan teams to remote outposts represented by packs of cloggers.

Napoli
Celtic
West Ham
Galatasaray

The above is a pro-forma difficult group.

Must be due to the political tensions between Ireland and the UK.

Leicester City with Napoli.

Nearly got Dinamo but a much tougher Leverkusen instead. Oh my days.

Celtic in with Bayer Leverkusen and Jeremy Frimpong.

He’s got a very deliberate style of opening the ball.
