If you look at the out of europe list and compare it to the uefa list, it looks like it is the wrong way round!
Poor Man U, wonder how they'll cope without that 15 mill, I bet they had that ear marked for the Jan transer window, all together now, ahhhhhh!

Man U will have to do what everyone else bar Chelsea have to do
Sell to buy, they could get a fair few million for Fletcher, Saha, Fortune etc

Will Chelsea be kept apart from Arsenal and Liverpool? i should think so, they keep English teams apart, but even though Liverpool don't have country protection they've only just played Chelsea so will not be allowed to play again |

I think it's time for a big clearout at Man Utd, they have too many players either not trying or not good enough... Boro for the UEFA Cup though  I want to see a north east team do something this season... |

Poor Man U, wonder how they'll cope without that 15 mill, I bet they had that ear marked for the Jan transer window, all together now, ahhhhhh! That's rather what I thought. You'd probably want to avoid Betis, Shalke and Udinese but the other UEFA Cup qualifiers really are rather poor. As for us i'm not relishing facing any of those group winners with the exception of Villarreal. Still, we won our group last year and got Barca so we can't exactly do any worse than that. Oh and poor Man Utd, my heart bleeds for them of course |

Oh, and they're currently bottom in Spain so I'd happily have Boro drawn against them.
That can only happen if we finish 2nd in our group...
