Arsenal @ Dortmund and Milan @ Barca to open those groups. Sucks that they take away terracing, the Westfalen won't be as intimidating, but will still be nuts.
Provided that the Serie A strike goes forward, Milan's second match of the 2011/2012 season will be at Camp Nou :(
arsenals coeff is actually higher than RMs our efficient is 3x citys, but thats because they have years of no Euro football in their index even in our CL final loss to Barca last year, we earned more points for that euro season than they did, i knew numbers could be very close, but never have seen the runner up with more pts (36.67 to 36.64) uniteds rolling 4 year coefficeient from 7-11 is the 2nd highest of the 'modern' COEFF ranking era 1. RM 99-03 (with a good CL showing this season, barca will overtake this spot) 2. Utd 07-11 3. RM 98-02 4. RM 00-04 5. Barca 06-10 6. Milan 03-07
Oldest club (average age) -FC Internazionale: 29.61 years & Youngest club (average age) FK Olimps Riga (LVA): 19.02 years
Marseille might be tricky, but I don't see Olympiakos giving them much trouble. I still think Arsenal get through, but it won't be easy. I think I read Dortmund has won 2, lost 2 and drawn 1 in 5 Bundesliga matches? How have they looked in these matches? I know lost to Hertha this weekend, but were't they resting players for tomorrow?
Marseille have yet to win a game in Ligue 1 this season so I wouldn't be too worried about them unless they get there shit together.

the predictor is fun and I wish the premier league one was like it. It gives you different point value based on your prediction. Also you have to pick the club that will score first.
Yeah, they rested a few regulars. They also lost at Hoffenheim and drew at Leverkusen. Westfalen is nuts, though there won't be any terracing allowed.
strange that is coming up now considering it was published in January of this year and FK Olimps Riga is not in any European cup competition.
