..the tie tonight, but also our place in pot one of the Champions league draw next season. We are now 9th in the UEFA coefficient rankings behind the likes of Schalke, Porto and Benfica. Going out in the last 16 in the last 5 years has cost us BIG time.
Our only hope will be if Schalke finish outside the top 4 of the Bundesliga, otherwise we face a BIG club in the group stages.
Unless of course the new seeding system comes in next season.
Not only have we lost..

We will struggle to get out of the groups now if we do get into the top four

The new seeding system is going to start next season.
Teams in pot 1 will be: Chelsea, Real/Barca, Bayern, Juventus, French champions, Benfica/Porto and the Russian champions. I am not sure who takes the 8th place may be if the winner is non of the seven.

That's fair enough. We haven't been a top 8 side in Europe for a very long time.

Isn't it five years in a row going out prior to the quarter finals?
And please believe me, not here to wum this time, but it is pretty ridiculous the formula used when you are still in the top ten coefficient thing after five years like that.

How on earth did Arsenal get knocked out by that lot?!?!? Surely this Monaco side are one of the worst team ever to make the champions league last eight.

I am not against the new rule. At least we face some other teams and not the usual Dortmund, Istanbul draw.
