Leicester's inevitable failure will be even sweeter with that group.

As supporters will be aware, we have already sold Group Stage Packages to our One Hotspur Season Ticket Holders and members in recent weeks. Almost 51,000 were sold during this sales phase with the majority of seats available on Levels 1 and 2 completely sold out.
Due to us not being able to guarantee certain seats would be available for all three matches, we have held those seats affected - which are across all price points - in order that they can be available to purchase on a match-by-match basis.
As previously advised, priority on these tickets will be given firstly to Season Ticket Holders, and then to One Hotspur Bronze and Lilywhite members.
Sale dates for our first home match at Wembley Stadium will be announced in the next 24 hours. All supporters are strongly advised not to make any travel arrangements for either home or away matches until the full Group Stage schedule is confirmed and not before supporters have received confirmation that they will be allocated a match ticket for away matches.

100% agree we should smash them, they are the only "proper" team in that pot though.
Also when I look at European games I firstly look at whether or not I'm going to go to the away game. Russia can go fuck itself, Leverkusen I'm all in for and Monaco I've been to before (non football) and I didn't like the place so won't be going back
They won't win a game.
When you see this draw overall it all of a sudden becomes apparent why Uefa would entertain the "historical merit" qualifying places.
No TV company is going to pay more, or any where near even, as much for this as they would for the Premier League.
I know it's only our second season ever in this, but Uefa need a complete rethink on the format.

If you want more glamour ties, you need to have fewer places for the eastern European sides and more for the top leagues. You need Manchester United rather than Ludogorets, Villarreal rather than Rostov, Schalke rather than Legia Warsaw, Inter Milan rather than Dinamo Zagreb. But I couldn't see such a proposal really going down well.
Can't see us selling out for any of the games with that draw unfortunately.
I said yesterday that CSKA, Leverkusen and Copenhagen would be the draw for best chance of progression. Monaco we had no trouble against last season so you'd have to be pretty happy with that group overall. I think we'll win it.
Fun away trips will have to wait until after Christmas.
I'll do Leverkusen or Monaco, just awaiting the dates.

Moscow is a pretty awesome city for an away trip, don't sleep on that.
That's what they're taking about. This 'heritage' allocation bullshit which eveyones so upset about (& rightly so!)
Bloody hell. United could get a harder Europa draw than Leicester did CL .
The foxes draw is softer than a pensioners turd.

Lol yeah. It's a great city - but go to Russia for football? To support a perceived Jewish club? Lol fuck that shit no way José!
The heritage thing is to do with allocating places away from 4th placed sides in the top leagues to high coefficient ones though - so Schalke replacing Bourussia Monchengladback for instance. It doesn't remove the east European teams because there's an attitude that as many national champions as possible should have a realistic chance to qualify, and it isn't politically astute for a UEFA President to do so with so many votes at stake.
Really wanted Barca, but it'll do I suppose. We'll have to play very, very well to qualify. Tough group. Not as tough as it could have been but tough all the same.
Don't really see the difference in the Príncipe - it's a method of taking out less glamorous teams and replacing with, normally, bigger name teams no? Or am I misunderstanding?
That's a good point. Wouldn't want to risk egg on our face.
Leverkusen have rebuilt their ground since the last time we were there. Not sure what the new capacity is.
The old one was pretty small and getting tickets was hard. I kept very quiet, but jumped up when Berbatov scored and realized pretty much everyone around me was Spurs as well.
