True true. I guess I'm just thinking of Milan last year in the semis and Newcastle becoming a top club so maybe it's recency bias

Also I lied. I wish we were in Group E haha

Last year was weird in that it was a totally lopsided draw from the quarters on. The two Milan sides faced each other in a semi final having played no one whilst on the other side city had to slog to get there. They are not that great a team. My bias towards them would be from the 90s and 00s so I try to think of their current team rather than their reputation.

Not our B team lol

Sevilla is tricky especially away as u well know..... haha (they were tricky at Old Trafford too)

We split with PSV in Europa last year and they've started off better this year in their league

Lens away will be interesting but we should win both vs. them

They weren’t really. Not a great side. Min 4 points you should be getting. We were shit really shit. We were well in control and imploded. Even as gutless as we were away it took three de Gea howlers for them to score.

I must obviously not have paid attention because today was the first time I read that this is the last time the champions league is doing groups and switch to a strange league model next year

Yeah their attempt to stave off the dumb super league is some dumb format called the Swiss model which is an odd all encompassing league in which you only play some of the other teams. It’s moronic. But it fits an extra couple of teams in so €€€€€€€
