The fix is in. If the blind school was an option United would have got them, but Midtjylland had to do.

It is complete shit that 3rd place Champions League teams drop into Europa League. They had their shot and they fucked up. United will probably lose anyway.
As for us. Fiorentina are a good side. Probably one we would have liked to avoid but sack it. We'd most likely have to beat them eventually anyway. If we win here I can see us having a good chance of winning the whole thing. Some of the stronger teams are up against each other in this round so it'll decongest the pool.
Fingers crossed!

The thing is, I believe that last year's draw was quite a toss-up. We largely owe our victory to Soldado. And to a major bit of luck during those first 20 minutes at WHL.
Now, Spurs have improved remarkably since last season: Alli, Son, Toby, a more balanced midfield with Dier.
On the other hand, Fiorentina's squad didn't really improve since last year.
It is true that we are currently second in Serie A but we have been definitely overperforming, mostly thanks to our new coach Paulo Sousa's intelligent additions to Montella's tactical framework and to a very good athletic condition. But all in all, we are not that better than last season.
For me it is a 60/40 tie, to the Spurs' favour, and I'm beng optimistic.

Shit draw but think we will do them anyway so no problem.
I will be. Haven't done one of these since Benfica two seasons ago. Hopefully this time around the city council will realise that we're not cunts like Feyenoord and can be trusted to booze without ripping the place to shreds. If not, suppose there's always that Uncle Jimmy's place I heard loads of ours piled into.
And no Soldado, so it's already looking like a good trip.
Making my pilgrimage to London in a week, so can't afford another international trip so early (unless we make the final and I will definitely take out a loan to be there).
