So far here is our group -

Group G:
Arsenal
Porto
Fenerbache
Dynamo Kiev

Not exactly easy. I think we'll get through, but this is by far the toughest group top to bottom.

OK, so my take on who we got...

First, this group is winable, and definately gives us a good chance to advance. We've had Porto a few times before and were able to handle them well. Fener away will be the most difficult match in the group stage, however they ARE beatable. Kiev are in the general skill-level league as Porto is, so they should be beatable as well.

I'm relatively happy with the draw. Not exactly a cake-walk, but definately better than Liverpool and ManU got, imo.

At least it's a trip there while it's still summer-ish.

Not freezing as hell...

Anyone going Turkey? Could be an amazing experience. Hard group, but we should qualify if we play to our best. Kiev aren't the same side of 10 years ago, nor are Porto [who shouldn't be in the competition anyways]
