could they make it a bit more complicated, cheers

 

[Kris]

So we can't draw Lazio, Chelsea, Newcastle or Liverpool?

 

[gaz]

correct.

we're away in the second leg.

 

[Kris]

Genk looks like a great away day.
They have a below average Europa record 2W 4L
I think we'd get 1250-2000 seats (21,000 full cap)

 

[Oh FFS]

basically yes, and Chelsea, Cluj, Olympikos and Benfica qre seeded.

Personally, I want us to draw Genk, then face the winner of Liverpool and Ajax.

 

[RockTrumpet]

Don't think we can play another English team in the round of 16 can we?

Edit: just checked, we can. Carry on as you were.

 

[Thelonious]

the away leg is on Valentines Day! You can stick your red roses up your arse!!!

So we can't draw Lazio, Chelsea, Newcastle or Liverpool?

We can't draw Lazio, other English teams, unseeded CL drop-outs and teams who finished 2nd in their respective groups (good thing looking at the standings!)

So except for Lazio, Chelsea, and Liverpool it can be one of


- Cluj
- Steaua Bucureşti
- Olympiacos
- Benfica
- Viktoria Plzeň
- Fenerbahçe
- Bordeaux
- Lyon
- Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk
- Metalist Kharkiv
- Genk
- Rubin Kazan
- Hannover

 

[ArcspacE]

So basically by finishing second we have managed to avoid the followings teams!

- FC Anzhi Makhachkala
- BATE Borisov
- FC Dynamo Kyiv
- Ajax FC
- Atlético Madrid
- UD Levante
- Borussia Mönchengladbach
- VfB Stuttgart
- Bayer 04 Leverkusen
- FC Newcastle United
- SSC Napoli
- FCI Internazionale Milano
- FC Basel
- FC Sparta Prague

:lloris:

I don't want us to play Rubin Kazan - they are fucking miles away.

I honestly don't care who we draw aside from that - I like the fact we could get Ajax, it would be a great trip and two teams with history who haven't faced each other for a long time...and frankly; fuck it - I want to play the best possible teams because I know we are better.

 

[ArcspacE]

I like the fact we could get Ajax,

We can't get Ajax - they are also unseeded like us - have a look few posts up

 

[SadlerTHFC]

Spurs v Hannover would be my pick.

See how good these German fans really are!

I hadn't seen that, must have posted at the same time. Then fuck it! I'm out...

 

[YidoBuckler]

the away leg is on Valentines Day! You can stick your red roses up your arse!!!

First leg of the last 16 is on my birthday. Would love a brilliant away trip for that, but knowing my luck we'll either:

a) go out in the round of 32

or

b) be playing Anzhi/Rubin Kazan.

 

[gaz]

apparently one of these...

Viktoria Plzen (Czech Republic);
Fenerbahçe (Turkey);
Girondins Bordeaux (France);
Steaua Bucuresti (Romania);
Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk (Ukraine);
Racing Genk (Belgium);
Rubin Kazan (Russia);
Olympique Lyon (France);
Metalist Kharkiv (Ukraine);
Hannover 96 (Germany);
CFR Cluj (Romania);
Olympiakos Piraeus (Greece);
Benfica (Portugal).

 

[Dannyboy]

AVB is right, by the by; how can a competition be taken seriously when teams who fail in the CL get a reprieve in the EL but those who succeed in the EL don't get a shot at the CL?

Rewarding failure? I'm sure only Woolwich's contract guru's do that.

 

[Kris]

France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal all sound good.

 

[gaz]

First leg at home on Thursday 14 February.

Second leg away on Thursday 21 February.​

 

[RockTrumpet]

Bordeaux would be lovely. Genk = away day hosted by Belgian Spur

 

[Tucker]

We are capable of beating any of those sides
