Anyone know roughly what the pots are currently looking like?

 

I would love something like Dortmund, Ajax, Warsaw. 

Anyone of those, I suppose (except Spurs and Arsenal):

Plus highly likely Celtic, FC Copenhagen, AS Monaco, Ludogorets Razgrad, Legia Warsaw and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The other remaining playoff matches have all ended in draws and are all too close to call.

It is on at 6pm in central Europe (CET), hence 5pm in the UK.

 

Sky Sports say 6pm BST (the time zone currently observed by London)

UEFA say 6pm CET (also the time zone currently observed by London)

I could be wrong but I think UEFA's website is misleading as most of mainland Europe is currently on CEST (or MESZ for you MC) so stating the time of the draw in CET is creating unnecessary confusion.

 

In other words:

 

BST = GMT+1

CET = GMT+1

CEST/MESZ = GMT+2

 

Just don't want you to be waiting around for an extra hour Prush. ;)

I'm with Stan. Hoping for the 'easiest' possible draw. Don't really fancy shelling out a small fortune to see us walloped in Madrid.

Fair, actually.

 

I'd like us to make a go of it and build some really special memories.

Knowing our luck, I'm looking at the toughest possible draw:

 

Leicester City

Atlético

Dynamo Kiev

AS Roma

I'm not sure Rostov is our best chance of progression. They look a really tricky side. I'd fancy us against Legia more than them.

 

PSV is harder than Lyon too. PSV are a very tricky side. Dutch champions and only went out on penalties to Atletico last year.

I wouldn't be opposed to facing Atleti in the semis or the final if by some miracle we do manage to get that far, just to get the rematch with them we've been waiting for

 

Napoli/Basel

Salzburg

Warsaw

would be my preferred group, they all seem beatable imo and would make for nice away trips (although Naples is a bit of a marmite city!)

Basel would be great, always fancied Switzerland.

 

The draw will be massive - we could genuinely end up with anything from a group like that above in which I reckon we'd be favourites to win, or we could get Atletico, PSV and Roma where I think the scrap would be for third and staying in some form of European competition. A very tough group the latter.

anyone from pot 2 bar basel

sporting or brugge would be sick from pot 3

legia or ludogorets from pot 4 

 

gonna face facts and say unless we fluke it vs basel we're gonna lose to anyone in pot 2. pot 3 could all go either way so may as well get a dece draw. pot 4 we'd beat them all bar roma and i don't really want to go to rome that sounds kinda boring.

UEFA clearly don't know the difference between CET and CEST as they have now made me look a right mug and confirmed 5pm UK time next Thursday. 

 

That's convinced me, I'm booing the anthem. Twats.
