Right, now the CL malarky is over, we can get down to business and get to what really matters, the europa league.

Draw is the day before Pompey, 18th December. Where do you fancy going?

ajax
lille/valencia
hamburg/tel aviv
sporting lisbon
roma
galatasaray
salzburg
fenerbahce
benfica
shakhtar
psv
bremen/bilboa
juve
unirea
wolfsburg
marseille

Not a bad list. Just our luck we will get fucking PSV...

would get a couple of days in Berlin out of it, which would be sound, but would have to spend matchnight in Wolfsburg because you can't make the last train out of the city if you're at the game.

You can if it kicks off at 6.

Ajax please. Missed out on that pre-season tourny a few years back and wouldn't mind meeting one of europes other big clubs.

Tel Aviv would be tasty. Mazel tov!

Alf · « **Reply #10 on:** December 10, 2009, 01:59:57 pm »

Anyone but Marseille or PSV. Never been to Germany or Portugal so any team from either will do me.

Bilbao.

Not great weather wise in February, but it's a wonderful city. Their fans could teach ours a lesson or twelve as well.

Also, you'll also get to see how wonderful Llorente is and join me in wanting to sign him

I suspect that we won't be picked for a 6pm game, however this is indeed true.

I'm pretty sure that one leg WILL kick off at 6pm.

anon-y-mouse · « **Reply #19 on:** December 10, 2009, 09:32:03 pm »

Got an extra days leave so now have enough to squeeze in an extra euro away before April 1st that i wasn't expecting. Tel Aviv please. No Mark Gonzalez songs.

AJ · « **Reply #20 on:** December 10, 2009, 09:49:34 pm »

Sporting or Wolfsburg from the definites.

Valencia or Bremen from the maybes.

The Old Lady, a new ground for me until there new/old ground is re-built.

Are the unseeded teams definitely away in the 2nd leg? Also, the UEFA website seems to indicate the 2nd matchday as 25 Feb - which is fixed, I would imagine, as 16-24 Feb are indicated as CL 1st leg dates.

Would be keen on a visit to

Definites:
Bucharest
Donetsk - not too sure though, as it is a hole by all accounts.

Probables:
Genoa
Tel Aviv
Bremen
Bilbao
Rome - maybe...

Don't forget that they'll be drawing the following round on the same day as well.

ferris05 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 11, 2009, 12:02:50 am »

Want first leg to be away, and anywhere but Juve. If them factors sway my way, I'll have another European trip on my hands.

In answer to your first question: Yes. In theory. See, UEFA have a problem in that there are two teams from Lisbon, Istanbul and Liverpool all on the same side of their respective draws, meaning that they'd both have to play at home on the same day. Which won't happen. Whether they'll force some ties to switch (not popular with the seeded side who lose their advantage) or play them a day or two before (not popular with UEFA because it's CL matchday on the Tues and Weds) nobody seems to know. Of course, if both Istanbul sides were drawn against both Liverpool sides, for instance, I'm not sure that the police would be happy at either end having each set of fans in their city a day apart.

They could possibly postpone some of the ties by a week, but that would depend upon domestic considerations.

And yes, the matchdays are fixed as 18th and 25th of Feb.

Hmm, interesting. That would be hilarious if us and Everton got Gala and Fenerbahce. It might give that gobshite William Gaillard, and the other one Twatini a heart attack and kill them both.

Would love to play the Basques as well, always keep an eye out for their results

Do we definitely have a chance of playing the top 4, 3rd place CL teams? Thought Uefa might have tried to keep CL teams apart as per previous Uefa Cup seasons.

As for who, always wanted to go to the Mestalla.

Bilbao is also a shout.

I have a couple of 'definitely don't wants' - namely Marseille and PSV.

I'd rather Unirea, Fenerbahce, Salzburg, or Tel Aviv, but so long as we swerve the 2 sides above I'll be happy.

Juve or Roma can fuck off, too, actually - I don't like games in Italy and constantly having to watch your back all the time. Wolfsburg's a shithole, too - would get a couple of days in Berlin out of it, which would be sound, but would have to spend matchnight in Wolfsburg because you can't make the last train out of the city if you're at the game.

Lisbon and Benfica are sound, would definitely like to go back to the city and explore a bit more, Gala and Fener would be a good type of mental, Salzburg and Urziceni would be a new experience, and Donetsk would be a good trip without many whoppers (the town's not all that, but Kiev's fun enough and could stay there for a day or two and fly across for the match or something).

Ajax would be whopper central if we got them, which I'm none too keen on, although a return to Brussels might be fun. Valencia'd be a new city for me, so wouldn't mind them at all, would happily take Hamburg but would absolutely love to get Tel Aviv, and I'd rather Bremen than Bilbao.

Pretty much with you on all of that bar Valencia, there in 2002 and it's deffo no Budapest.

CHOPPER · « **Reply #29 on:** December 11, 2009, 12:35:51 pm »

Surprised so many don't want Juve, are you all a gang of shithouses?

Or is there some other reason not to visit a great country which has great food and great wine?

I'm guessing it's because of the hostility from their fans in 2005.

Am I right in thinking they're currently playing in the Stadio Olimpico in Turin rather than the Stadio delle Alpi?

There's always a bit of an atmosphere for games in Italy, which can be a pain in the arse (literally, if the Vespa boys are out in force). I'd still go (I'll go whoever we get), but it's not up the top of my list as there are eminently more preferable options.

Yes, they're playing elsewhere while they redevelop the SdA. Due to move back in the year after next, if I recall correctly.

I'd go along with that first part. Plus when I went to Juve in 05, I lost my wallet so not all good memories!

I thought the delle Alpi was quality. The new one must be pretty special I'd imagine.
