Europa League Draw - 2014/15

[ralvy]

Group B: Real Madrid, Basel, Liverpool, Ludogorets
Would love to face Madrid or Pool, but I think they'll cruise through, and we've improved a lot since we last faced Basel. If we get Ludogorets we're dreaming!

Hey, fuck you man, Ludogorets will make it alive from this group, they will be this year's CL black horses.

We'll play Zenit. Somehow, someway AVB will return to the Lane.

My dream draw would be Wolfsburg or BMG from pot 2, Feyenoord or Saint Etienne from pot 3 and Lokeren from pot 4. All of them are easy places to get to for aways and some proper historic teams in that list....

Are FC Copenhagen in pot 1? Shame, would've loved a trip there.

Club Brugge, Estoril and AaB would be a nice draw.

 

[KingKay]

Bruges would be a nice away day.

Aalborg is lovely in the winter ;-)

Is this the part where we get fucked off to Russia, Serbia and Belarus

Yep. We've seen off the goat herders, now it's time for the salt mine workers.

Aside from us, I really, really hope we get a Legia-Celtic rematch!

Hoping for:
Celtic
Feyenoord
Dynamo Moscow

Possible teams we can face

Seeding pot 2: Steaua Bucuresti, Standard Liege, PAOK, Celtic, Besiktas, Wolfsburg, Club Brugge, Dnipro, Trabzonspor, Panathinaikos, Sparta Prague and Borussia Monchengladbach

Seeding Pot 3: Everton(we cant play them), Young Boys, Dinamo Zagreb, Zurich, Legia Warsaw, Estoril, Partizan, Torino, Feyenoord and Guingamp

Seeding Pot 3 or 4: Dynamo Moscow

Seeding Pot 4:Krasnodar, Rijeka, Lokeren, Asteras Tripoli, Slovan Limassol, Qarabag, HJK, Dinamo Minsk and Aab

I prefer Celtic, Guingamp and Lokeren. We could be back before midnight

was just thinking pretty much the same thing beats, one of the Swiss sides wouldn't be bad

Hoping for:
Celtic
Feyenoord
Dynamo Moscow

I'd love a match against celtic just to spice things up a bit.

Anyone know why Everton didn't have to play a qualifying round?

Anyone know why Everton didn't have to play a qualifying round?

5th in the league got the FA Cup winners' place in the group stage since Arsenal won that.

Originally it goes:
FA Cup winners - Group Stage
5th place - Fourth Qual. round
League Cup winners - Third Qual. round

City win the League Cup and runners up in that don't get Europe, so 6th (us) gets that spot. Then Arsenal win the FA Cup so Hull as runners up get demoted to the bottom of the list, pushing 5th into the Group Stage and 6th into the Fourth Qual.

 

[StanSpur]

Would love a trip to Glasgow

 

[McGoose]

Something like Club Brugge, Zürich and Aalborg would be ideal. Or it might be nice to get Young Boys again.

Wankdorf. Hur hur hur.

Wouldn't mind Celtic either. Short trip och probably an easy game. Want to avoid long trips to eastern Europe at all costs.

You certainly know your onions.

The worst we could get would be something like Dnipro, Partizan and Krasnodar. Last year we got just about the worst possible draw for traveling distances. This season it seems the majority of the teams from miles away are loaded into pot four, so unless we're really unlucky...

 

[Coyboy]

I hope we get Helsinki, going there in October anyway.

Hey, I'm with you on that one mate - seeing Liverpool or Real Madrid knocked out would be extremely hilarious.
