I can see the rest, but don't think that Lampard is the clear favorite for midfielder. I support Liverpool. We had trouble with Marseilles at Anfield last year in the group stage. We handled PSV easily two years ago. I'm not sure how to feel about Torres taking on Atletico Madrid, his old club.
With Arsenal playing poorly, and, in my opinion, Fenerbahce being a dark horse, and Porto, I think group G will be competitive.
I'm excited to see Zenit vs. Real Madrid and Celtic vs. Man U

I apologise for the unsymetical formatting of the top half and bottom half of the draw. It did not format as I had intended. If anyone knows how to put a space between all the individual groups without the line of space being deleted when the article is published I would be very grateful if you could tell me.
Thanks.

Lets Go F.C. PORTO...surely i dont think they will win but they should go to the next stage..Real Madrid is done for...I truely believe they are the yankees of baseball and thank god Ronaldo did not go there...Ronaldo has way more goals 2 score and way more english people to piss off..Keep up the good work...As for chelsea this may be ur year..should have been last year but they decided to fire Mourinho so once again chelsea bad move...I think INTER MILAN will take it home...Mourinho is the Special One n its time to Kiss the Cup Again....Viva o AZUL!!!!!F.C. PORTO and INTER are causing damage this year.........
