The re-branded UEFA Cup may play second fiddle to the Champions League, but it continues to be a tasty alternative to its big-eared cousin.The draw was held this morning, and if you're into conspiracy theories, then an anti-England bias is your flavor of the day. Sarcasm aside, the groups are brutal and ultra-competitive for all the competitors. Manchester City has some miles of travel on its docket with trips to Germany, France, Spain and Holland. Tottenham too; Spurs bound for Russia, the former Yugoslavia, Italy and Holland. Same goes for Portsmouth and Aston Villa.
As is custom, if we're looking for a Group of Death, may I suggest, well Group A. Not only is the nouveau riche of City in the Group, but the equally dangerous Schalke, Racing Santander, Paris St. Germain and FC Twente.
Here are the groups:
