Europa league playoff round.

[barneygumble]

Not Hajduk Split.

After wanting them desperately this round, It'd be a killer to have to go back to Split.

Anything sounds good really, but maybe not Iceland, or a small stadium, so AEK, Red Star, Vardur and even Hajduk yes.
Hafnorfjordur, Altach, Oleksandriya, Viitorlul Constanta would be a nightmare allocation wise.

Based on doing it 1-2-3-4

We'd be inline to face

Ostersunds (Sweden)
Videoton (Hungary)
AEK Athens (Greece)
Viitorlul Constanta (Romania)
Hajduk Split (Croatia)

But i think @ToffeeDan done this last time to some degree of accuracy, and was still a few out.

Should probably know by 9am of which teams we can face.

UEFA have proven that this is a futile exercise. I do agree with the theory but the practice is that they just make up groups of roughly equal total Coefficient. I still agree that 1-2-3-4 is right as the strength of the teams in a draw is entirely arbitrary whereas rankings from 1 to x is appropriately beyond dispute and requires no jiggery pokery that might be viewed as suspicious.

AEK Athens please. Great club and fans.

Apart from the bit where Greek fans go round in gangs looking to beat up families with kids. Maybe you didn't go to Athens and missed being whipped with belts.

That's just their culture stop being racist.

got to be honest, i thought the list was going to be a bit tougher than that. You'd say rosenborg would be tough, but they did get knocked out by a dembeleless celtic.

There's a few 30,000+ I listed there, so fingers crossed we get one of them!

 

[4737carlin]

Away at City and Chelsea are the 2 games that follow, now that is a big worry

 

[Nymzee]

Place with the shortest travel distance please.

For the players not the fans.

 

[Connor]

Suduva, please.

i want to draw the easiest team possible and for them to forfeit both legs

 

[chippy1722]

All of those teams should be a walk in the park but as these ties have shown, it's not always the case.
