Looks grim compared to Charles Street, Belgrave Road and Granby Street....

If its any consolation, it will probably be ****ing freezing in November

I went to Bergen (which is further south) in June a few years ago and it was ****ing freezing then!

Praet's knee looks fine. Don't want to hear any bellyaching from him come Sunday.

Maddison to get the nod instead?

I’ll be livid.

Another change to the forecast with Slavia  Prague going down tonight and now joining pot 2. PAOK and Tel Aviv also joining the EL after losing their final CL qualifying game.

[NewEnglandFox]

Slavia Prague drops down. Midtjylland to the Champions League. PAOK and Maccabi Tel-Aviv confirmed. Green is the bookie's picks for the lower coefficient to win tomorrow.

Why do Rapid pissing Vienna take preference?

More recent points or something like that I think. 

[CosbehFox]

I’m coming around the idea it’s better to remain in Pot 3, too many teams from the top leagues alongside us who have low coefficients

Because they were quicker.

I can forgive perhaps scheduling the tweet/article going live on the wrong day. I can't forgive thinking we can draw Arsenal or Spurs in the group stage. That's UEFA competition basics, honestly.

 

VERY excited for this. I know we can't go, and that's a proper bummer, but this is only our fifth ever foray into Europe. We get six games against three other teams, testing our metal against European teams and the opportunity to go deep in a competition which gains prevalence as it goes on.

 

The draw will be a buzz, the games will be a buzz. THIS is what 38 games in the league is all about. Whether it's UCL or UEL, we should be aspiring to this and not treating it like an inconvenience like some fans are.

Whatever pot we are in, I just hope we draw Rangers or Celtic. Celtic would be my preference. 

 

Saying that, Rangers might not even be in the competition and a lot of their fans would prefer it if they weren't.

Nothing more underwhelming than playing clubs in the same island in European competition.

Brendan figuring his **** out against Man City changed the whole look of this for me.  In one stroke, he served notice that he can and will set up flexibly against strong opposition.

 

He has one of the strongest teams.  In one ranking, we are going to enter the groups as the highest rated club.*

 

Still only eighth favorites in the betting**, but the odds have already shortened from 25-1 to 20-1.

 

Whether or not you think we’d be favored over two legs v Napoli or Spurs … YOUR CLUB is badass.  I know it doesn’t compute.  I know every protective fuse in your brain is trying to short-circuit.  But get on board the Optimistic Bus!

Still find it mind-boggling that we're considered in the top 20 clubs globally. Feels like only yesterday that we were duking it out with the likes of Colchester and Walsall in League One, and now we're nestled in between Juventus and Napoli. Bonkers.

But absolutely humping Celtic at Parkhead would be worth it!

I'm not sure on the latter, they are financially precarious again so they really need the money the Europa League offers just to stay affloat. For example, they needed a £10m injection of cash from directors last season just to see out the season.

 

It's probably different as in the EPL you play top teams every week but I love getting English sides in European competition, great dynamic to the ties and we always seem to do pretty well and punch above our weight against English sides. Sad thing this season will be there will be no crowds of course which will take a lot away from it.
