Sounds like Joe Hart's farewell game. Captain for the night. His image has already been removed from the outside of the Etihad. There's wanting to replace your keeper and there's wanting to replace your keeper. Think he deserves better treatment than he's getting.

That kind of result has been coming for Ajax. Scraped past PAOK in the last round and needed a penalty to draw level in the home leg last week. They're yet to keep a clean sheet in a competitive game this season and I don't think they've adequately replaced Milik or Fischer. 

The commentators came out with 'this is the biggest shock of the round', despite the fact that Rostov are unbeaten on their own patch since May 2015 :lol:

Red Bull Salzburg must be up there with the biggest underachievers in the CL qualifying process. Amazing that despite having talented players and Red Bull money, they haven't ever made the groups.

50/50 chance of a Scottish v English game then yeah?

My probability knowledge is a bit rusty, but I think you may be right. Each pot is independent and you can only have one team from a given country, so 1/8 + 2/8 + 1/8 = 50%.

8 groups, 4 English teams that need to stay separated.. Simple as that is it not? Could be wrong. Would like to see it happen

 

It's not as simple as that because country protection and the TV groupings make certain combinations more likely that the others.  It still won't be that far off 50/50 though.
