Europa League

[the count]

Not much interest in this then?

 

[ibromurph]

Fabulous group so far. LASK and Union St-Gilloise.

2 no marks and the distance to travel isn't far.

Brighton, Rangers and West Ham have tougher groups. Lmao.

And Toulouse
Great group for travel

 

[ibromurph]

Woop woop! Toulouse. Around the corner from us again.

 

[Fabio]

Couldn't have asked for better really

 

[mark1975]

We should really be walking this, I know there's no easy games later on as they say and we've hit a few banana skins previously, but this should be a good distraction from the league, if we go with mostly fringe players at the start.

 

[ibromurph]

We should be able to rest the full first team for these ties.

 

[Modo]

We should be able to rest the full first team for these ties.

Yeah we can play the B-team for most of those games, unless you know our injury prone players are unavailable

 

[Fabio]

I hope we get through the group with minimal problems with fringe players, then evaluate where we are in the league. The further we get, if this seems our best way for CL we should go all in

MacAllister could end up playing against his brother Kevin who is with Union

 

[dee]

Who the fuck are Union whatever?

 

[dogboy]

I've already booked a hotel room in Dublin.

 

[dogboy]

Tough group for Brighton. Ajax, Marseille and AEK Athens.

 

[jan]

Who the fuck are Union whatever?

"The people's club" from the French side of Brussels, apparently

 

[Dreambeliever]

So Belgium, France and…..?

Austria

 

[Dreambeliever]

Ha laughing.

 

[Bradley]

If anyone works out how to buy tickets for the final, let me know.

 

[tomasjj]

Comolli at Toulouse.

 

[binomial]

Meh. Boring.
Might be a little more interesting if we make the final.

I think they go on general sale in the spring sometime.
You register with Uefa and put your name into the ballot.
Then you watch the final on tv in a pub somewhere

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Good lord - looking at all the teams in the Europa League we should 100% be walking that competition. If we do not, then it says a lot about the depth of our bench.

 

[binomial]

Waits for Sevilla to drop down (deliberately) and knock us out on the way to winning it…again.

 

[SummerOnions]

How do I get an away ticket to the Saint Gilloise one? It's in Brussels so I'd love to go

 

[Dreambeliever]

All the third placed teams in the group stage of the CL still have to drop in.

Oh. Well bollocks to that then.

Hoping af that they finish second to Arsenal in their group.

 

[moron]

If we win our group then we won't face those third placed teams from the CL.

We will on the way to the final and in it.
