Europa League 2015/16

[Kenneth]

Quality draw. A crap opponent who our manager knows already.

[Chris]

Oooh Villarreal v Napoli, another good one!

[Fosterbloke]

Valencia vs. Rapid Wien

Fiorentina vs Tottenham

Borussia Dortmund vs Porto

Fenerbache vs Lokomotiv Moscow

Anderlecht vs Olympiakos

FC Midtjylland vs Man Utd

FC Augsburg vs Liverpool

Sparta Praha vs FC Krasnodar

Galatasary vs Lazio

FC Sion vs Braga

That's a great draw I think. Missed a bunch of teams in the middle of nowhere (Moscow, Sion, Krasnodar), missed some very strong teams (Villarreal, Napoli, Dortmund, Lazio, Galatasary, Fiorentina and Valencia) plus some strong teams face off (Fiorentina vs Tottenham, Galatasary vs Lazio, Borussia Dortmund vs Porto, Villarreal vs Napoli).

The round after that is when it gets serious.

Utd get a team of homeless fella's, bin men and carpet fitters.

Explains why they play such dull football...

Roughly ...

Saturday, 13 February: Aston Villa (A)
Thursday, 18 February: Augsburg (A)
Sunday, 21 February: FA Cup 5th (?) Round
Thursday, 25 February: Augsburg (H)
Saturday, 27 February: Everton (H)

Meaning the Merseyside derby will have to moved.

Top top draw for us

[danperkins]

Us and United got decent draws, some really tough to call ties.

Fc sion are playing their Europa league game tomorrow evening, Wednesday with champion's leagues games on later that night. When was this allowed to happen? I thought uefa wanted CL nights to be exclusively for that competition. If this is now allowed, more games should happen on CL nights too. Us playing tomorrow instead of Thursday would've be better ahead of a cup final.

[Fosterbloke]

I think it's stupid that league games can't happen during CL nights. Would certainly help with fixture congestion.

[G]

It is. Especially when they are dragging out the second round matches over 4 bloody weeks!

[redmike65]

Good night for the Premier League co-efficient with Fiorentina and Napoli both gone.

Liverpool, Spurs and Man Utd through.

[Fosterbloke]
