From a Köln perspective, that's got potential to be such a difficult campaign. 

Pot One has Arsenal, Lyon, AC Milan, Villarreal, Zenit, Bilbao, Lazio and then even Copenhagen and Braga wouldn't be easy. Pot Two has Everton, Nice and Marseille and even Pot Four has some tough sides in there that might be slightly unknown but definitely won't be pushovers. 

Arsenal or AC Milan; Austria Wien, 1. FC Köln and FC Zlin would be my preference.

Reckon Istanbul Basaksehir are the best team in pot 4 Stan, the one to avoid

was meant to put them instead of Red Star in the 2nd group of death xD.

I saw they held Sevilla few days ago and noticed they had some good names in their squad! Didn't realise Inler had found his way there too. Clichy & Adebayor amongst others too.

Arsenal drawn with BATE, Koln and Red Star Belgrade

Everton in a group with Lyon, Atalanta and Apollon. Not too bad travel wise!

Milan get Austria Vienna, Rijeka and Athens - they should qualify comfortably from that.

 

Braga, Ludogorets, Hoffenheim and Istanbul all drawn together looks to be a tough group.

Delighted for Köln, I'm really going to try and get a ticket in the away end at the Emirates. 

Arsenal aren't going to take it seriously apparently, which offers hope, though away's at BATE and Red Star will be tough, though a result at either of those and wins at home against them to should be enough to see Köln progress.

Tough group for us but there's no reason we shouldn't get through it. Atalanta and Lyon away will be difficult but we need to be making sure we win the other four games and we'll be fine.

Playing your games at Sassuolo as well as Atalanta's stadium being redeveloped.

Koln games might be decent just for Poldi's tweets but overall the group stage will be a good opportunity to play the fringe players.

Don't think your fringe players will like the Belgrade atmosphere xD

Hopefully Wenger will play better players later in the competition. It probably depends on how we are doing in the league
