UEFA CL Draw - Pot 4 looks like the nasty one!
Taking a quick look at the possible teams that Arsenal could face in the group stage of the Champions League quickly revealed that teams in pot 4 pose the biggest threat in terms of slippery ties:
Anderlecht (Belgium) - One of the weaker teams in the draw.
Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine) - Kiev in the winter!? No thanks!
Levski Sofia (Bulgaria) - Bulgaria would not be an easy trip for the Gunners.
Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) - Ukraine again!
Galatasaray (Turkey) - Istanbul is probably worse than Kiev!
Hamburg (Germany) - Hamburg could be tricky.
Spartak Moscow (Russia) - Moscow, Kiev, Istanbul...
FC Copenhagen (Denmark) - I'd rate them alongside Anderlecht.
Looking at it there is a greater than 50% chance of a nasty trip to somewhere cold or Istanbul! Either option isn't too pleasing. With Steaua Bucharest & CSKA Moscow in pot 3 there's a pretty big chance overall of a trip to the former Soviet Union.
Roll on 5pm, there could be some very tasty ties coming up!
