The Big Europa League Adventure

MunichHammer

Bubbles - not in the same group. But what you've posted are the pots.
There will be 8 groups of 4 teams and no two teams from the same federation may go in there.

Will the draw actually be at 11am? Or will they waffle for an hour beforehand?

Assuming it will be waffling.

Thanks for that, for a moment I'd actually started to doubt Aslef's info.

Whitehorsehammer

That is the pot they are drawn from not the group they will play in, I think.

MunichHammer

I would like Eintracht and sturm Graz or Rapid Vienna. Not too keep on Bayer Leverkusen but if we get them then I would like Eindhoven from Pot 2.

That would all be places that are reachable from here

Expat_Hammer

Each of the eight groups of four will consist of one team from eight from each of the four pots. So we will not play Leicester from pot two.

There, and as Alexander Orloff would say ........ "Seeemples"

Answered. It's waffling.

Hamstew

They've just brung out our trophy.

Lukerz

May as well just hand that to us now

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

They're talking us through the technical details.

Nobody is listening anymore. We'll take your word for it, UEFA.

Just draw the teams.

Hamstew

They are now going through the technical details of how the draw is made and my head just exploded.

ScotHammer

Didn’t know a specialist degree was required to watch this draw🤪

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I thought they'd said clubs from the same country would be split into different halves of the same draw, and then they banged Lyon and Monaco into groups A and B.

The one thing I thought I'd understood and I was wrong.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

What are the odds they forgot to put us in one of the little balls?

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Dinamo Zagreb and Genk? I'll take it.

Lukerz

Wonder what group we’ll be in for next years Champions League?

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Dinamo Zagreb
Genk
West Ham
Rapid Vienna

Best get a head-start on engraving our name on the trophy now.

OutcastLondoner

That's a great group for us, kinder than Leicester.

steve

Leicester looks like a group of death

ScotHammer

We shouldn’t fear anyone in that group ⚒

Pearces_Left_Foot

Not too far to travel no trips to Russia for us at the moment

Lukerz

Part of me is a bit gutted we didn’t get one bigger name team but it’s a good group on paper

We'll get them in the knockout stages.

We'll get a bigger name in the final.

Glory.

claretandbluesky

Great draw and couldn't really have hoped for better other than possibly group F.

The groups C & E would have been awful

Ironduke

It sounds like its all gone to pot

Fortuneseeker

candbsky, Fortunately we couldn't have been in Group C due to Leicester already being in it.

Genk have got the giant centre forward we were linked with, he is 6ft 7in. Good thing that Zouma, should he sign, has got a good leap on him.
