It's Official!!: Europa League Thread

Ferencvaros is a dream trip. 4 stops from the airport to digs at Hatar Ut, then a further 2 stops to Ferencvaros. Perfect.

I really want us to be drawn in a tasty group. Bring them on - this is what we all wanted: big European sides under the Molineux floodlights. Sure, there are better sides than us we could be drawn with but we can give any team a good game. They'll want to avoid us.

Can't wait.

This is the thing. For any side in Pot 1 or 2 (bar Arsenal and Manchester United obviously) we are one of the Pot 3 sides they will be praying to avoid. Saying that - take a look at some of the sides in Pot 3. Feyenoord. Getafe. Espanyol. Saint-Etienne. Partizan Belgrade. Standard Liege. Even Qarabag, Malmo and Rennes.

I think Pot 3 is a fair bit stronger than Pot 2 - and the reason is country coefficient. Us, Getafe and Espanyol have no club coefficient, so our country coefficients have dropped us all in the same pot. There are going to be plenty of tough tough groups.

Wolfsburg and Wolfsberger would be somewhat amusing as group-mates.

this is now what I'm hoping for

Please! Loved it there this week!

I hope for Celtic that would be cool

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It would be horrendous. You thought tonight was heavily policed...Celtic in town would make it look like a tea party.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yes, I don't want either of the Old Firm. Not because I'm afraid of them, just that the off the field stuff and media Battle of Britain crap wouldn't be worth the hassle.

Previously I disagreed with you but after our dealing with a few Torino fans it would be a full lock down!

Away trip would be good though

Some extra info for the group stages and knockout rounds, which I've added to the first post.

------------------------

"There are 12 groups of four teams, with each team playing everyone else in that group on a home and away basis. The top two in each group, plus the eight third-placed teams who depart from the UEFA Champions League group stage, progress to the round of 32."

------------------------

"In the draw for the round of 32, the twelve group winners and the four third-placed teams from the Champions League group stage with the better group records are seeded, and the twelve group runners-up and the other four third-placed teams from the Champions League group stage are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.

------------------------

In the draws for the round of 16 onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association can be drawn against each other."

Wonder if the draw will be on 5Live or Talksport? Got to drive up to Scotland this lunchtime so my only hope of hearing it live

Must be hard for a Radio show to cover it. Full UEFA draws are bollocks to watch. Something that can be done in 5 mins stretched out over 80 minutes

That's what I thought. Then again, Man United are in it so a good audience in Surrey...

Might be a sad bugger and order a lanyard for my work pass

 

[CopenhagenWolf]

I hope for a trip to Copenhagen ;-)

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

I want Sevilla

 

[Tredman]

AZ for me please.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We would want to avoid Sevilla really. Best case for us is PSV and Eintracht getting Manchester United and Arsenal so cant draw them. I want Porto or Sporting

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

As weak a draw as possible. Lets win this bugger, easier route to the Champions League than finishing in the top 4.
