Europa League draw

[iggy1966]

after Porto if we win we will play

Legia v Sporting CP.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

Salzburg or Metalist Kharkiv v Rubin Kazan or Olympiakos.
Legia or Sporting CP v Porto or Man City.

 

[Calcio]

good draw overall. Porto is not as strong as they were last season with Falcao and Villas Boas. Looking forward to see what Hulk and J. Rodriguez has to offer

Nice!
What's bent about it though?

Just coincidence that the 5 English clubs got the toughest opponents possible.

Nah, just the way it's turned out. There's no way you could fix 5 matches in a draw which people are watching live.
The ties in the EL are good for its viewing figures, United / Ajax and us v Porto. Quite looking forward to it now.

Re: Re: Europa League draw

I really dont understand this idea of play a weak team and go out, so we can concentrate on the league etc. Even if we win the league by going out now and not having a good run in Europe we would be shafting ourself and probably end up in another group of death for next years champs league.

We will still be in the group of death if we won the Europa, the only way of getting seed 1 or 2 in the CL is if you either win the competition or be a runner up, semi or quarters on multiple occasions.

Wrong

No extreme travel for the first two fixtures (if we make it to the round of 16). Good draw so far.

Wonder what the odds of things "turning out" that way were.
