Yep, it must be a concern, but looking back at his record, he always seemed to have key injury problems when the big games came along.

I'm just looking forward to six Champions League nights whoever we play. We - the fans, the players, the manager, the club - put so much into qualifying last season that we may as well enjoy it now we're here.

Yep agree, I am buzzing for this seasons CL because we've been out of it for 2 seasons. (feels like about 5 lol)
God knows how the poor gooners must feel.
We really do need to be getting out of the groups at the very least, realistically we should be good enough for the quarters.

Without wishing to undermine the PL, which for me is the toughest competition in European football to win, there really isn't anything to match being able to watch our Club taking on the best in Europe in the CL. For those of us fortunate enough to be present at the wonderful European nights at the Lane in the early sixties, I'm sure that nobody would disagree that we experienced something really quite special, even the European Cup semi final defeat to Benfica, which provided us with life long memories.
A decent run in the CL under Redknapp by a very good Spurs team was high on entertainment, whilst the run thru to the CL final under Poch possibly rates as the Club's best achievement, albeit somewhat surreal at the time it being so unexpected.
I can't wait for this seasons CL to start, and really do believe that we will go deep into this tournament.

Definitely not a bad draw for us. Feel bad for Plzen.

On a progression point ...that is getting out of the group, it's v kind to us.
but there was a part of me that wanted a humdinger of a tie...Barca or PSG or Real.... Tho I guess, assuming we progress, they could well be next!

As some have already stated. Conte’s record in Europe isn’t fantastic.
With that said, he has a great chance to change that this season. The draw has been very kind.
Arrogance aside, we should expect to top the group. Travel wise, we don’t have horrendous distances to travel either which will help the following league games.

Loud groans heard across the country from the Tottenham fraternity.....
On paper you would think it is an Europa League group. Obviously things don't always work out like that but it would have been nicer to have a more glamorous tie in there.
We will only have ourselves to blame for not qualifying from that group

It's certainly a very good draw in terms of the calibre of the opposition compared to what it could have been. But there are plenty of potential banana skins too. And overconfidence is the last thing we can afford. Surely Conte will put paid to that.
Marseilles is one of the most intimidating grounds in European football. Eintracht have a vast following as well and play to big crowds.
Sporting Lisbon will require strong referees in both games. The antics we saw from Fernandes at the weekend is endemic in Portuguese football.
I can't wait.

Tough group. I'd expect us to progress but you can't take anything for granted in Europe.
