UCL Draw Thread

[Milan 17,854]

FFS! Long flight to Russia, thank you very much!

Well yeah, at least the game sandwiched in the madness week is played in England. But still. Fucking Spuds..

Worst possible draw, in terms of that long trip to Russia for the away leg. As it is, we'll be playing away in Russia just 3 days before we play Spurs in the league!

And have added in the quarter final ties and our game time in the 1st post.

Should be quite mild then, around -14 I suspect.

Their summer.

Poor chaps gonna freeze their nuts, then.

C'mon Chelsea, Lazio and Benfica.

Hopefully Spurs progress over Basel..the more games they play, the better for us...maybe an injury or two..

[Milan 17,854]

We have to score a lot in the first leg so that we can rest some players in Russia. Ideal scenario - 4-0 at home and some players then not to even travel.

Can't believe we are still in it. Honestly our boys are playing at around 60% and we are still going through lol.

Fuck it, it is what it is..

That's why we need to do our job in the first leg at The Bridge. Also don't forget that Spurs have the same schedule and they are playing in the same time in Switzerland.

Rather have Kazan than Lazio, Benfica or Spurs. Other good draws could have been Fenerbahce (although their stadium will be hard place to go) or Basel, who have tendency to slay giants

Back To Luzhniki!

I love your sense of fair play though.

russia.. no good

lets win 5-0 at SB and send reserves to russia

First leg is massive in this! like most have said, a big win at home would be ideal!

When it first started out, i kind of wasn't too bothered by us winning the europa league, I'd have still liked to, but wasn't bothered. now i find myself wanting us to win it, theres no English teams in the champions league, so we may as well do well in the europa league and get something from europe.

Im excited. shame about the long trip and the fixture congestion, but we should be able to handle it.

[Milan 17,854]

Luzhniki? FFS, is there artificial turf? That would be even more awful

[Rmpr 8,977]

I didnt like that we will have to travel to Russia, but at least the first leg is at home!

Could have been better, could have been worse...

[Milan 17,854]

I just found out there is Gokhan Tore playing for them!

[Hutcho 8,443]

Another long journey.... Woopadeedoo.

[bushman 2,043]

Boys get ready for some Russian vodka drinkers soon.

You thought those Romanians were bad. Well you haven´t seen nothing yet.

[Milan 17,854]

Well, we can really thank Inter for not progressing. Just imagine us travelling to Russia while Spurs having a week off. It's Basel for them but still, it's a game.
