It frustrates the hell did utd of me when I look at Leicesters run in this seasons champions league. I understand they won their league and that and definitely deserved their place in the competition after last seasons heroics but the route they have had to take to reach the quarters is incredible. Not having to qualify is fair enough as champs but they couldn't have hand picked an easier group in Porto, copenhagen and Brugge followed by another sweet draw in Sevilla. These are decent sides but let's be honest nothing to be frightened of.
Now this is where I make my point, every year we have to struggle through 6 nail biting matches to get to the groups alone and when we do every year we land the group of death. And the couple of times we have managed to progress we had landed the current CL champs in Milan, Barcelona who went on to win it that year and the juve a couple of years back.
I know it's all luck of the draw but we have never ever received a favourable draw in either the groups or the knockouts. One of these years who knows we might get a good run with these draws and who knows where it could take us just like we are seeing with Leicester who let's be honest have been pish this year.

As long as we're bottom seeds it'll keep on happening. We can only improve our coefficient by punching above our weight. Slowly but surely we'll get there.

For a team like Leicester to win the EPL against all the spending power ofCity, Chelsea etc. it's difficult to grudge them getting an easy draw. Their route to the CL was harder than ours.

The pathetic and humiliating exploits of other Scottish clubs in recent years shows no sign of improving and indeed looks even worse with the gulf behind us in the spl means we represent a European backwater and suffer the ranking and disadvantages of playing in Scotland.
