Champions league Group Stage

I think Arsenal has a most difficult group, it wont be easy to reach play-offs with Marseille,Napoli and Dortmund..What you think?

There is debate for the group of death. Either Arsenal's group as Napoli and Dortmund both came in 2nd in their leagues last year or Group H. Group H includes Barca, Milan, Celtic and Ajax. All of these teams have won the CL before and all of these teams finished in the top 3 of their leagues last year.

I think Group H is the group of Death.

Well.I think that with adding KAKA Milan will play way better than last 3-4 months. So I think Barsa and Milan are clear favorites of the group. In arsenals group all of them can reach play offs. That's my opinion.

For me, group H is actually the group of death, consisting of Milan, Barca, Ajax and Celtic. Arsenal's group is tough as well, but not as tough as group H.

I consider Arsenal's group as group of death. It's very difficult to predict which teams are going to proceed from the group. Though, I expect Arsenal and Dortmund to make into prequarter finals.

I would say Group H is the group of death simply because you have Barca and AC Milan who will qualify without much problem leaving a fight between Celtic and Ajax to go for the Europa League spot.

Celtic on the other hand despite beating Barca recently have lost Victor Wanyama who was a great asset to them and it showed against Shakhter Karagandy in the first leg.

Well well today we see how well Arsenal is going to play in this first group tie. I expect them to win but I hope that It will not be one of those dull games. I want to see if Ozil will bring the magic in France. What about you what are you expecting from the Arsenal tie.

I think Arsenal has a tough group but they have plenty of quality to make it through.
I think it's more of a group of death than Group H that has been mentioned above, because Arsenal's group is much more balanced, anyone can go through!

Well Chelsea has an easy looking group but they've made qualifying a tough job after losing at home to Basel. They're definitely going through a rebuilding process at the Bridge.

 

[deansaliba]

Yeah, I am surprised people are overlooking group H, if I didn't support Inverness I might feel a bit sorry for Celtic.

 

[petersos]

Let me say that I am really stunned that Chelsea lost to Bussell. Furthermore, they lost at Stamford Bridge the first time in 1oyears. Eto's entry did not make any difference. It was really pathetic. However, knowing their manger there is going something radical that will happen.

I only heard about Chelsea losing after I posted my earlier post and then turned on the radio! :O It sounded like a very poor performance from them, but I don't want to dismiss Basel, good on them for taking the game to Chelsea.

I am saddened to see that Samuel Eto'o seems to have come here at the wrong time in his career, I have hankered to see him in the Premier League for years, I wish he had come 5-10 years ago.
