Road to Moscow

This will do nicely the Champions League draw Group F : Manchester United, AS Roma, Sporting Clube de Portugal, FC Dynamo Kyiv. Though personally I always want a team I've never seen before drawn out of those big bags. No Shakhtar Donetsk, Slavia Praha or SS Lazio then.

Now we have to wait a day or so until the fixture list is drawn up, another week before the United ticket office get it together, and 20 days until the first match. Can't expect another 7-1 win over Roma like last season - an unbelievable night at Old Trafford, but can expect crowd trouble at the game in Rome.
