We are going to get Dortmund.
hopefully not as Germany put restrictions on crowd sWe are going to get Dortmund.
Fair enough. We'll get a good game, but would rather go deeper in the competition
If we get through this playoff round then we will play a group winner. There is also no group protection (only country protection) so we could get through this round then draw Lyon.On your original point, I'm past getting too worked up about seedings and the likes. It's not gonna change. We know what it's done for and it's just part of the competition. I don't know that any of the 3rd place CL teams are much harder a prospect than facing most of the EL group winners if that's the other option.

What's the script there?hopefully not as Germany put restrictions on crowd s
maybe change by February
Think that part of germany has had it quite bad compared to other partsWhat's the script there?
Dortmund was still half full on Saturday but Leipzig was totally empty last night against Man City.

And St Petersburg is possibly the most beautiful city I have ever visited.Zenit away please. Want to visit Russia again
Next MondayWhen is the draw ?
Hope not ,he always hated me.John Brown playing?
If Barca finish third that’s exactly what I think too.Its got GVB going back to the Nou camp written all over it
Great trip Barca Benidorm for a week lolIf Barca finish third that’s exactly what I think too.
A 5 hour journey both waysGreat trip Barca Benidorm for a week lol
That would be a tough shiftGreat trip Barca Benidorm for a week lol
How the heck are Sheriff so good by the way? Beat Real Madrid, Beat Shaktar 2-0 at home and drew with them away. Beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 on aggregate. Beat Red Star Belgrade (who are strong just now). They were more comfortable than Alashkert too. They have performed better than we would have with those fixtures. Can you sign their scouts
3400 going by the 68K capacity but are they operating at full capacity?Anyone know what kind of allocation we would get for zenit?

In my view Sheriff are better than Porto and Zenit. No idea why folk think they’re the easy tie.
I would say it’d be about a coin toss v Sheriff. Both around 66/1 in the outright betting. Nobody who drops in to the Europa League will be bigger than thatThey certainly aren't an 'easy tie' by any stretch but I don't think they are better than Porto. Zenit are probably a better team too but it's much of a muchness, whoever we draw we will be heavy underdogs.

For Dortmund they would be about 1/6 to win the tie. They are current favs for the comp.
Wait and see anyway but wouldn’t be heavy underdogs v Sheriff.
I wouldn't say there were many metrics that would rank Sheriff above either of those teams.In my view Sheriff are better than Porto and Zenit. No idea why folk think they’re the easy tie.
The only thing I would say against that, is getting the likes of barcelona, the worst thing?These threads always make me smile. In every other facet of our support of the Club the mantra ‘the Club comes first’ applies.
Start a thread about who we draw in Europe and the majority are focussed on what’s the best trip for them rather than what tie gives the Club the best chance of progression. Selfish.
Of course Sherif Tiraspol is the best draw as it represents the best chance of progression. Every other club in the draw with us will, like Rangers, be hoping to get Sherif.
Thing is the EL offers them another opportunity to reach the CL.The only thing I would say against that, is getting the likes of barcelona, the worst thing?
They may not bother their backsides about the el. Lets face it, they're only interested in the cl and would treat it as a step down. They will probably make sure their league position becomes priority.
Maybe so, but I would imagine they have a better chance through their league position.Thing is the EL offers them another opportunity to reach the CL.
Well that’s clear, odds on to finish top 4 at minute - be 6/1 area if they end up in Europa League. Don’t think they’d toss it off mind with how they’ve dropped.Maybe so, but I would imagine they have a better chance through their league position.
You better believe we would!Would love a shot at Barca. They'd be favourites but I'd fancy us to make a good contest of it
The amount of goons going to Barcelona would be a shambles. Absolutely do not want them
Looked to be quite busy going by the cameras3400 going by the 68K capacity but are they operating at full capacity?
Chelsea got an allocation just under 1600
