The UEFA Champions League draws were held yesterday evening and we got into a group which wasn't that bad.We were placed in Group B alongside Schalke, Olympiakos and Montpellier.
If you were so vigilant, you would notice we'll be travelling to the same countries we went to for last season's group stages fixtures.
Last season, we got Marseille from France, now we have Montpellier from France.We got Borussia Dortmund from Germany and now we have Schalke from Germany.We got Olympiakos from Greece and now we have that same Olympiakos from Greece.Isn't that awesome?
Also, the draws for the 3rd round of the Capital One Cup (formerly the Carling Cup) was held last night and we are to play Coventry City at home sometime in September.
