I reckon we'll be favourites to win it, we should have a very strong chance to be honest.

nice few days in ireland would be greatly appreciated.
We ARE favourites to win it (though that could change once teams from the Champions League drop into it).

we fear no one, oh no we are in pot 3 we could get celtic or juventus oh noooo. Well be fine, id rather the teams you named, Dortmund, juventus rather than going to some average side on the side of the world.

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.

2 of the hardest teams for me please in group stage seen as in group stage you have more chance of succeeding playing eachother twice getting 6 games each so its more likely to squirm past one class team depending on how other teams do where as if you run into the hard teams in the later stages its all or nothing.

But my biggest concern are the Champs League drop outs which I think is a stupid rule
 
Just a quick update for those worried about this issue - Olympiakos just got themselves knocked out against the mighty Maccabi Tel Aviv. They were seeded above us, Maccabi are...substantially below. Unless the Champions League play-off goes badly for us, and presuming we get through our own play-off, we're back to second seeds.

if we win our play-off match and nothing stupid happens in the CL final qualifying round, we'll be in pot 2.
