Europa League Draw - 2014/15

[Breezer]

Oh cool. So we got fucked off to Serbia, Turkey and Greece(3 areas I'd be asking for personal security for if i was the club). Classic us.

Yet Everton has 3 opponents in civilized countries.

Cool beans, UEFA. Cool beans

Fuck you too Platini

Don't be so rude! You're labelling everyone as uncivilised in Serbia, Turkey and Greece.

I can't comment on Serbia or Greece as I've never been. But if you go to Turkey and treat the people with respect then they'll treat you the exact same way. If you go over there like scummy Leeds fans and start wiping your ass on the Turkish flag and abuse local women then expect trouble.

At least we got a tour guide in Brad while in Turkey.
Good group; we better get use to the competition if we want CL football.

Spot on. As if Western Europe has no hooligan element. Germany, Italy and Holland have some of the worst hooligans in Europe. I remember Feyenord fans coming to WHL in the 90's and trashing the place, throwing bricks at coaches etc.

I was being sarcastic

 

[yankspurs]

You'd prefer to go to Russia at the moment over Greece?

On second though, nahhh. Putin is something else.

Talking of difficult locals - the Arse will be in Istambul at about the same time as we play Besiktas. Wonder if UEFA know ?

Close. It was '95-'96, after he got his working visa denied multiple time trying to play in PL.

Yep whilst the team was managed by Souness.

Hmm, Le Arse playing on the 9th and we play on the 11th. Hope none of their lot stay around to cause trouble for us!

NEVER!

 

[stov]

Shit draw. Don't fancy going to any of those away games.

 

[Roynie]

NEVER!

Agreed, as if if they would ever think about doing such a thing!

I get the sentiment here, don't act like a twat and you will be fine, and that goes for anywhere really. I completely agree with that. Been to Turkey three times and never had any trouble. Locals were perfectly fine. Same with Greece.

But the two Leeds fans that were murdered were anything but scum and didnt deserve to die the way they did at the hands of those two ( at least ) cowards that killed them and implying anything other than that is the epitome of '****ishness'. Sorry, but your post reads as if those two murdered brought it on themselves, which is utter nonsense.

hahahahahhahahahha arsenal fans causing trouble.....hahahaha

Be fair to the lad, Americans don't have passports, so how's he supposed to know.

Where have i mentioned anything about the Leeds fans who died? Nobody deserves to die over a football match.

I mentioned Leeds because their fans in general are scummy and when they went to Turkey they caused a lot of problems. Point i was making, if you go looking for trouble then you'll find it in Turkey no problem because they're fanatical about football. However if you go over there intending to have a good time you'll have zero problems. Ask Liverpool supporters who have been there on a few occasions.

Would fancy Istanbul big time if it wernt for me doing my best Michael Palin impression in January...isn't that right @RickyVilla

You will pretty much be able to find trouble at any football ground in the world. Yes even Arsenal.
