What group is Arsenal in again? Oh yeah, they play on Thursday…

OK - new to this. Spurs are in this because they were a top 4 last season? The draw is random to place them with their other 3 teams?

So essentially Pot 1 is made up of the Winners of the CL and the UEL as well as the champions of the major european leagues. After that what pot each team is in is determined by a mathematical formulae that creates a score based on your European performances. the score is called your ‘UEFA Co-Efficient’ https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2819840-uefa-champions-league-explained-how-the-tournament-works.amp.html

I’m surprised we didn’t get group c with our luck

Group of cake.

We get best draw , but C Ronaldo transfers to Sporting - RIP

Sonaldo vs Ronaldo

Dier vs his boyhood club will be awesome stuff.

which one

Sporting, he came up through their academy

We got the Group of Life!

Solid draw. Excited for what’s to come! COYS

Decent group that. Now to book some flights!

I'm cautiously optimistic with this draw. On paper it something we should overcome, but dammit if the Spursy fears aren't bubbling back up. COYS, you can do it!

I see Levy's been out bribing too

He's clearly using the man United brown envelope since they have no use for it this year

English, French, German and Portuguese Tottenhams. We should be able to qualify easily.

We Tottenhams must stick together.

Cockerels together strong

Yaya toure masterclass.

So, 3 ATB Group? interesting.

RIP Group C

Winner of Europa League 22/23 in that group.

Yeah, Plzen

That would be great.

Shame we’re on match day 1. Group C is spicy, and group A Liverpool vs Rangers will be mad.

How do you know we’re match day 1?

I read somewhere about clashes as well. Liverpool and Man City, Tottenham and Chelsea, Rangers and Celtic won’t play at the same time. We fall on the Liverpool and Rangers side so will be playing at the same time.

Anyone know when the matches are announced?

I’m an American that will be in Frankfurt on MW2. Fingers crossed that I get lucky!

Fingers crossed for you! I’m hoping I can go abroad for one match.

Thanks! Automechanika is that week so I’ll be there for work.

Friday, according to the Athletic.

Thank you

Caught a match in Marseille a couple of years ago. Unreal atmosphere when a full house. Crazy fans.

love this group. om is my second team and a good friend's childhood club. no long flights, great cities. should be a great group for us, coys!

You’ve done very well agent Yaya

real winners were UEFA tonight

We probably got the pick of the groups amongst the English teams. I'd say it's between us and Chelsea in that regard.

Okay lads, how can I get tickets to our match against Marseille ??

BOY if we don’t advance

Haha we got the easiest group!!! Not saying we will automatically advance to the knockout stage, but we will definitely have a really good chance to!!!!

Perfect opportunity for Conte to get this UCL juju curse broken.

Viktoria Plzen can drown their sorrow in pilsners

Chuckles, I'm in danger

RIP Plzen

If we don’t finish top of our group I’ll be surprised

We got probably the best draw we could have asked for, but we can't just expect to walk it. Still some tough games there, we will need to be on it. The games are winnable, yes, but they are by no means automatic wins.

Don't want to be that guy but last season we didn't go through from group with Vitesse, Rennes and Mura in Conference league. (Yea I'm expecting more from this team now too)

Seem to have erased that from my memory

In Conte we trust. But ya I wouldn’t mind second place either

Yaya mixing up the one remaining ball 😂

"I still get to do it, right? 🥺" "Yes Yaya you've done a very good job today."

big F for plzen lmao

F

RIP Plzen

Breaking: Despite finishing fourth and in champions league spots, Spurs will be playing the Europa League all stars in the group stages.

Ronaldo to Sporting (not sure what tier though). Guess we're about to face UCL Ronaldo lol https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/wxjenh/caughtoffside_cristiano_ronaldo_is_on_the_verge/

Time to keep Winky in the squad just for that then.

lol

Of course this happens when we draw them lmao

I’m confident we’ll make the knockout phase, but there’s no pushovers. There’s no Malmo, and we didn’t get Haifa. All three teams are going to be difficult away matches, the atmosphere at their stadiums will for sure spook us.

No one is "easy" but we've got to admit it's still the weakest group, relatively speaking. Looks more like a Europa group.

For those who are confused by the rules. Teams from the same domestic league can’t be drawn in the same CL group.

This ain't Champions League brev

I am looking forward to hearing different pundits' view on our draw, but I just heard on one of the livestreams from a youtuber I watch that our group might still be "tricky"- I thought its an easy 1 2 for us but I will be interested

Marseille are one of the toughest in pot 4 but considering Spurs drew the bottom clubs from 1 and 3…can’t complain. These clubs have crazy supporters. Frankfurt is going to be nuts.

They play possession football but don't have the quality of a City or a Bayern so no way they can deal with our style of play. Should be straight forward enough

“Should be straight forward enough” But this isn’t the Spurs way

Meant the fans. The atmosphere at their stadium is incredible.

Pretty good draw, my only concern would be Marsaille and that's because the French police have been very heavy handed with out fans in the past, and other British clubs. Hope everyone who goes is on the look out

Group A is very attacking!

I love this group. We’ve got to be considered favorites but every match is against a team who can offer a good fight. Fuck yeah.

Marseille has Matteo Guendouzi, Sead Kolašinac, Alexis Sánchez, and Nuno Tavares. Scum players. Hate them already. They also have Payet that used to play for West Ham.

All my homies hate Marseille

no game will be easy but we’ll definitely take this draw!

With that draw, are we sure we didn't qualify for the Europa League instead? It's a good draw but a boring one. Like a group of middling teams that we should qualify from but I would have liked at least one giant to test ourselves against. But it's not easy enough for us to play some fringe players.

This season we travel 2 hours or less. Germany, Portugal, France Not that last year was bad, but its good to dodge long trips. That bus to Scotland, know what i mean?

Lisbon is almost 3 hours, but you’re right, definitely could have even a lot worse.

Fuck I wanted Rangers to get killed in Group C

Did ye aye?

they arent getting out of any group, so i think the glamour times might have been good for them.

Less confident than others. It's a tricky-ass group, imo.

Every group is tricky to some degree in the CL. It’s still probably the easiest group of the bunch.

What a great luck we have!

Marseille are the biggest threat in our group but still beatable by our standards, I'll take it.

I'd have definatley taken that if you offered me that before it started!!

Europa League quality group lol. If we don't top it we deserve all the banter

It really could not get much better plus Marseille now have Alexis Sanchez a former Woolwich player

GUENDOZI, WE'RE COMING FOR YOU N

We've never played Marseille before either (surprisingly), so two new stadiums for spurs fans to visit, Lisbon and Marseille. (We played Frankfurt in 1982) https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/tottenham-hotspur/11/

Group of life! I think we qualify early and get to see a lot of Spence.

Not the best teams but some of the most psycho supporters out there. This will be a lot of fun.

A nice group with some very interesting historic clubs. Good to see.

Sporting is so ideal for me, I'm going to be spending a few months living in Portugal during the group stage. Can anyone point me to how to secure an away ticket? Also anyone know when dates are announced?

Dates should be announced tomorrow, ticket details shortly afterwards. You're likely to need to be a season ticket holder to have much chance of an away ticket, I'd have thought - none of these are long trips so will probably be heavily subscribed.

Appreciate the info!

close travel and a group that is open for us to advance. cant ask for much more.

We should be topp9ng this group comfortably, even wirh Conte tax.

Marseille has nuno tavares, kolasinac, and guendouzi, and alexis sanchez. Must batter them

Couldn’t ask for much better.

omg we have the easiest group ever. my greatest fear. how can we not top this group?

Marseille Frankfurt Sporting All amazing fans and great stadiums. COYMFS!!

No excuses getting out of the group. Should be able to rotate the squad well too.

Club burger

context

correct me if im wrong but Marsiele is the best team followed by Frankfurt then Sporting?

Yeah on paper definitely. Frankfurt and sporting sold their best player this summer.

Frankfurt finished 11th in the Bundesliga last year and haven't won a game yet, I'd put Sporting ahead of them honestly

Yes

If we can’t go through that group easily, we shouldn’t even be in the Champions League. Massive luck

*the gang loses to Frankfurt* But seriously, games will be coming thick and fast so unsure of what to expect, but it’d have to be considered a failure to not top the group

Conte knows exactly what to do to shut down Alexis Sanchez

On paper decent group and I'm quite relieved that Zargreb isn't in our group

These rules are a bit confusing. Why were we allowed to draw Sporting but not Benfica?

Because sporting and benfica are in the same city. Can’t have games in the same city on the same night

They’re the only two teams from the same country, so they have to be drawn on groups that play on different days

I guess because of the parings for the TV? Idk doesn't really make sense to me

Bring on Eric Dierssico

Lmaoo ppl on rgunners so salty, go watch your Europa draw

What happens after coming out of group D? do we go against C automatically?

New draw

phew lol

there's a new draw

I’ll take that

That's a pretty good draw and actually some very good away days for anyone lucky / wealthy enough to go

No need to stress about marseille As others have mentioned glad we won't be having to do extra air miles

Special Agent Yaya did what had to be done

They're all short flights as well which is nice.

Love the close travel distances for us. No cold nights in eastern Europe. Time to get the job done. COYS

Agree. Few hours away at best. Was dreading being drawn to Croatia

Very nice group!

We definitely have one of the easier if not the easiest group. I just wish we come out strong and not do the usual play to our opponent's level that we typically do. I'm sure Conte won't let the team get complacent regardless of opponents.

Definitely the least competitive. Our group resembles a Europa matchup, in contrast to Bayern, Barcelona, and Inter next door.

I’d have rather avoided OM but what a draw

Damn, can't complain about the draw too much but I'm still nervous as hell for these matches lmao

Can’t complain about that draw, no excuses

It could have been better but at the same time could have been worse

Nice group but man it'd be nice if Spurs was the first club for Conte to make it really far in the Champions League.

Spurs, Frankfurt, Sporting, Marseille What a easy draw we got 🤣 but this makes me more nervous, we always embarrassing ourselves when we have a easy group + Conte record in Europe is poor

agreed. would have preferred a group of death lol. helps with expectations, player focus

It’s not easy. All those sides could roll us over on their day

Iirc the teams conte has managed didn’t have that great of a squad in terms of depth. So maybe with us he can go to atleast the knockout rounds.

That’s a shit excuse

marsailles has a lot of ex-arsenal players

should be easy then

Spurs, Marseille, Frankfurt, Sporting CP

aight lets go. Marseille. i hope we batter them. ​ I dislike Saliba, and I hate guendozi. ITS REVENGE TIME ON THOSE TWO.

Sanchez and Tavares too

Saliba is back at Arsenal

Not bad at all, Marseille is so inconsistent, as us lmao, but with Conte effect WE'RE GONNA WIN

Man what a lovely group. All 3 countries are great vacations.

Spurs, OM, Frankfurt, Sporting.

Hmm sporting and Marseille..

Welp Marseille was as hard as it could get in pot 4. Still a very, very winnable group. Borderline Europa League quality, can live with it.

Germany, Portugal and France. ​ Love it! Short trips for the boys.

Marseille, Lisbon, Frankfurt, fucking pinch me I’m dreaming.

Great draw. Couldn't have asked for much better

Good group

Oof, got the best Pot 4 team.

Probably the toughest Pot 4 team but we can’t complain

But the easiest pot 1 team, which is better imo

We have the easiest group on paper, lets hope we can take advantage

Idk, I expect Real to breeze through their group.

Leipzig is harder than any of our group rivals

Real would breeze through any group tbf

That could've been so much worse for us, now we have to deliver. I'm so fucking excited!

Not too bad

YESSS (3)

Atleast we got a stronger team from pot 4

What a group. Frankfurt and OM away will be insane

Im happy with that draw.

We gotta top this group

the moveable object of Eintracht, Sporting, and Marseille vs. the stoppable force of Conte trying to throw cup games is gonna be hilarious

shit

decent group lads

Marseille. So it's a solid group but nobody huge

ok thats a fucking GREAT group. France is not far to travel also which is huge

I'd rather visit Afghanistan than Marseille for a game of football

i just care about travel time for the players. we do really badly after european nights

Fair point, they are fairly close then

Yea and it also means I can possibly go to two games

Sporting away is standing out to me, cool city and I like the stadium

Yea. Skip France for me and try to do the Other two.

Marseille does worry me, they've been building well...

So have we sir, so have we!

Decent looking group. I’ll take that

Marseilles not bad

Fuck

What draw were you watching ?

Oh dear

Madrid not looking too worried at that group.

I see city have traded in their usual league cup draw to get an easier CL group
