[BoyBlue_1985]

Dont really care, competiton full of wank teams in horrible places. Be better if we werent in it to be honest

Clueless twat coming out with a stupid statement like that.
1985 is that the year you were born ???
Speaks volumes if correct !!!

No need for that! Call me clueless if you like but Europa league is a waste of time

You can back us at Betfair at 7.2. They have us as clear favourites for the trophy with Liverpool being 2nd favs at 11. We will be the strongest team in it by a long way so how they work out these seedings is beyond me!

It's based on our historical performance in Europe. They can't base it on how good we might be if all our new players happen to click into gear instantly.

Feyenoord - Borussia Dortmund - Bayer Leverkusen - Porto - PSV - Galatasaray - Juventus - Liverpool -

All good European opponents - I'd buy a ticket for any of them.

Well i be fucked

How did some of them end up in there. Okay i take it back. Sounds fun when you name them

Im guessing we dont need to play a team in the faroe islands again then

No but you can base it on the league position that helped teams qualify in the first place

Based on previous european record (ours is dire to be fair)

Well if they base it on past European records then although right, its wrong! If Bjorn Borg made a comeback at Wimbledon they wouldnt have him as the top seed. Seedings should be based on the quality of team you have now not how you have performed in the past.

Either way if we take the tournament seriously, which isnt a given at this stage, I am sure a title charge would be given priority, I think we should win it!

 

[jimbo101]

so the way the pots could end up we could have a group like this!

liverpool
celtic
manchester city
Borussia Dortmund

Not quite - can't be drawn against a team from your own country.

if we have a good season in the europa this year and enter the CL next we'll have a better co-efficient so don't end up having to play the best teams too soon

Following the exclusion of Real Mallorca from the Europa Leage, their spot has gone to Villareal. Real Mallorca had a lower seeding than us, & Villareal have a higher one and as we were already the lowest seeded team in pot 2 of the Europa Leage group stage, this effectively means we're now demoted to pot 3.

The question is this. Is this a positive thing because we're more likely to get drawn against better teams with decent grounds & bigger capacities (more tickets) or a negative thing as it makes qualifying harder?
Personally I'm not too worried as I think our squad should be strong enough to qualify.

wtf is that all about

We should not be overly fussed about coming up against better teams. We are the tournament favourites (wierd feeling, eh!?), so we should act like it. We are the team that everyone wants to avoid, as we will create the "group of death". Then we spank them all.
