Round of 32 draw

[The Cowboy]

If at any stage we get Moscow, that's a trip to make. It's a great city for a 3 or 4-day break.
Easyjet go there to Dodometyevo Airport which is about an hour by local car from the city centre.
Accommodation isn't cheap, but most of the hotels are a good standard and the expensive one are excellent.
Policing is strict, but not ridiculous like France... unless you misbehave.
The Metro Underground system is cheap as chips with unlimited travel on any trip, totally unlike the Tube in London !!!
And the people are very, very friendly and welcoming.

Would hate to accidentally get embroiled in some mischief or be a victim of mistaken identity over there.

It's quite amazing really, that the potential list of teams the RS could face is actually easier (on paper) than the list we could face. Where's the justice in that?!

......Wolfsburg will beat them.

 

[kevdotbadger]

seriously think we can beat anyone in this cup

Really? We lose to Spurs and draw 1-1 with Hull.

...I don't want City to drop down, other than that I think we've got as good a chance as any.

Wolfsburg can face them?

Wolfsburg can face them?

Nope.

.......it's the Cup and games are played over 2 legs.

Wolfsburg can face them?

...I presumed so. Might be wrong.

 

[Eggs]

Nope.

.....shame. Seems daft.

.....shame. Seems daft.

The group winners, like us, and the best dropdowns like olympiakos are in one draw and the bad teams, like the rs and wolfsburg, are drawn against them.

The rs can only get group winenrs like napoli or the like. So they couldn't get celtic, either.

The group runner-ups and the unseeded CL dropouts are in one Pot, the group winners and the seeded CL dropouts in the another pot. The RS are unseeded due to their pitiful CL showing.

Assuming they cant play an English team, (actually, I know that), but can they play a seeded CL team? Must be able to I guess.

I guess so, as it's only country protection, or coming from the same group, that prevents a pairing.

Must be. Otherwise it guarantees a EL club would get a CL one. I think.

....unseeded and favourites to win it.
