Europa League 2021/22 Thread

Ludogorets also drop in to the EL group stage.

[NewEnglandFox]

This is based on betting odds from the to qualify market on Betfair Exchange.  All of these clubs already ahead (behind for champions league lose in's) in their tie except for 2 draws. Slavia are barley favored to get through at  Legia Warsaw. And the other level tie is Galatasaray and Randers.

Thank **** both Scottish teams look to be in the same pot as us.

[StanSP]

Based on the above, worst group (on paper) is probably Napoli, Marseille, Galatasaray.

 

I reckon our players (barring Vardy) would literally (yes I mean literally) shit themselves silly in those atmospheres.

Those teams would really open some eyes to our lot about supporter culture. Each in their own way extremely hardcore.

Pot 3 is arguably stronger than pot 1.

Part of me will die when we rock up in some mental place and the club have laid out clappers for us.

I know I’m a pessimistic old futcher, but I really can’t see why we’re first or second favourites to win this. Would be fvckin amazing if we did, though.

I’ve just projected flights to potential destinations for the first couple of match days and if away fans are allowed, it’s going to be quite reliant on clubs and travel firms sorting charters 

Still there, you just can’t buy your season tickets seat if it has now been brought by someone else, but you can buy elsewhere in the stadium and pay the £70/£80 to get the package.

Just realised I missed the deadline for the 3 game package. 

 

Probably happier picking individual games anyway 

You can still buy the package but you might not still be able to get your ST seat if it's been purchased by some one else.

What was with Galatasaray and their silly smoke and flags, they can’t see the players walking out!

Indeed but we better hope that we don't have to play West Ham at any point in the competition.....

12/1 is about the same odds for us winning either domestic cup. No one cares when 12/1 is only 5th or 6th favorite to win something. But for some reason people think it's more likely when that's the betting favorite. Or maybe it's disrespect of the competition in general. Frankly the favorite is going to be whatever behemoth drops out of the CL.

That’s why the odds are so high for a favourite. Because the eventual ‘favourite’ isn’t in the market yet.

Mugs game betting on a Europa winner until the knockouts. We should be gunning for it but our record over two legs is pretty bad.

put a quid on it.

Pot 3 is much better than pot 2 Tbf 

[Bats8711]

Based on those odds I may put some $ on West Ham.  Certainly can't see how we're twice as likely to win it as them.

[NasPb]

As a foreign follower I'd love some type of away trip to a place with a great atmosphere. Ours has been horrid since 14/15 unfortunately. Too many old folks and passive people. I genuinely believe a better crowd would have given us more points.

I thought their squad was cwap even if their first team is good though? Surely that's what matters for this sort of thing? 😋

Napoli 

Leicester 

Marseille

Galatasaray 

[KrefelderFox666]

They will probably announce the away fans situation before the draw on Thursday (CL). Not expecting any travel to be allowed. So hoping for some awful away days but easy ish opponents.

The players heads would be down before they even got on the flight, we don’t have the fight to play away in grounds like this, players would proper bottle it 

[coolhandfox]

Us and West Ham in the Final 

[Steve Earle]

Olympiakos, Sociedad and Rapid would suit me nicely
