Uefa Cup last 32 draw

[Philw]

I know it's early, but who would you like to see/avoid in the next round.

Possible opponents include:

FC Copenhagen (nailed on 3rd in Grp B)
One of;
Villarreal(!!)
AEK Athens
or Fiorentina (outside bet) from Grp C
One of;
SK Brann (probable)
Dinamo Zagreb
Rennes from Grp D
FC Zurich or
Bayern Leverkusen from Grp E

And any number of teams from the other groups. highlights being:
Bayern Munich (v. unlikely)
Getafe
Bordeaux and Galatasaray.

I've emboldened the teams which i think will finish 3rd in their respective groups.

 

[TX Bill]

Wondering about that myself.

I'd want Copenhagen, Brann, or Zurich myself.

No thanks to any clubs from Spain, Germany, Italy, or France.

Same choice as me!

Is not as though we couldn't beat the other team but would have prefer beating them at a bigger stage like from Quarter-Final on-ward!

I'd get a real laugh if we drew Fiorentina and Kroldrup played a blinder against us in both legs. He'd probably come in for a bit of stick at the Goodison venue even though that whole deal comes down on Moyes.

Getafe, fancy a trip to Spain me

 

[Dom1878]

i would like rennes to be honest, and any clubs from france or spain, or germany, cos there the only places im allowed to go to with me mates for an away match

i'm a bit confused about UEFA cup format, i was under the impression that we would play the 2nd place finishers from each group, and that the teams knocked down from the Champions league would play the 3rd place finishers. If we're playing the third place teams, does that mean the 2nd place finishers are playing the demoted Champions league teams, if so, with the likes of Valencia and possibly the redshite dropping, it might be a better choice for some teams to finish 3rd

Haha, we could always save that for later I am sure they could get past R32!

Although Moyes brought the player, but how he perform when he is playing is his own fault can't blame Moyes for that, he just didn't suit our game that's all!

I've always said that he was never even given close to enough games to prove himself here but that's a different opinion for a different thread.

Ok, to be fair he should have got more chance but he looks so bad in the one he play it was just hard to give him much more chance before he left, he's a defender his mistake normally would lead to goal, it's not like giving midfielder or striker time to settle, didn't see Lescott or Valente need much time to settle!

Well, if we do play them in R32 let's see what he really made off or is he just not good enough!

Second place in the group plays the Champs League drop outs defo. Its better to finish third in reality.

so UEFA believes teams dropping from the CL are a lower seed than us, but are a higher seed than teams that place second? that's.... interesting. i'm just glad this rubbishy seeding formula doesn't effect us .

it'd be a tough draw but i'd fancy Villarreal, i've got revenge on my mind and i'm sure the boys do as well. no collina to rob us this time.

plenty more where he came from, a convey belt producing polls and clattenburgs aplenty.
