What am I missing, there were 6 matches also last season? Anzhi, Sheriff, Tromsø?this will be fun. some decent teams instead of the crap we played last year and 6 games instead of 8. like someone else pointed out - a proper warm-up for champions league. Id much rather watch us play Betsikas and Partizan than Tromso and Sharif, even if we dont advance.
It is a way into the Champions League, so nope. Lets go for it.
At least Besiktas play in Istanbul, so the travelling isn't too bad.
Our group isn't exactly easy. I think we may stuggle against Beşıktas. Partizan aren't pushovers.

Platini doesn't want the aggro that happened last season on his doorstep again (UEFA full of frogs and Italians). That's why we have been shipped out to the arse end of nowhere. Be happy. It ain't Russia.It's the draw that's pissed me off. Really wanted to go to an away game in a close EU country. I want us to win it, but I don't see it happening.
