side effect of CLGS pairings

Pot 1 contains 3 internal pairings (the Milan clubs, the North West England clubs, the Spanish giants).
So the 2 remaining clubs, Arsenal and Valencia, are effectively paired also. If Arsenal is in A-D then Valencia will be E-H, and vice versa.
But Arsenal ARE paired - with Chelsea in Pot 2. This means that Valencia will be within the same half of the draw as Chelsea.
Chelsea must draw one of 5 clubs: AC MIlan, Inter, Real Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia. But Valencia are definitely in the same half of the draw, whereas the other 4 have equal chances of being in either half.
So Chelsea has 1 chance in 6 of drawing the other Spanish or Italian clubs, but 2 chances in 6 of meeting Valencia.

but imagine Barça, Chelsea and Werder all in the same group, with say Kiev, what a horror group
