Champions League Qualifiers

[Mystic]

Celtic through

so it is one of:

Hoffenheim
Istanbul Başakşehir
Nice
Steau Bucharest
Young Boys

Hoffenheim are the only real challenge in that lot, right?

 

[dee]

Hoffenheim
Istanbul Başakşehir
Nice
Steau Bucharest
Young Boys

So my choice would be anyone but Nice or Hoffenheim

 

[Dreambeliever]

Who wouldn't love to bum Young Boys over two nights?

 

[Hansern]

Nice and Hoffenheim would be two tough games, no doubt.

I wouldnt

 

[Mystic]

Istanbul BB, I've never heard of them, sure the trip would be a cunt, but they have to be the easiest draw, surely?

The only players I recognize are Gael Clichy and Costa (the West Ham one)

Not too keen on Young Boys either - only because of their synthetic pitch and possible injuries.

That's Adebayor and friends.. not sure they are a nice draw at all.

 

[Hansern]

Steaua and Young Boys, then Istanbul, Hoffenheim and then Nice

 

[Insignificance]

Hoffenheim should be ok... we will not give away a 3-0 lead at home 🙂

 

[Zlate]

If we don't get past any of those teams, we don't deserve to be playing champions league football

 

[Oliver Twist]

Well, yeah.

It should be noted that Hoffenheim only have a low ranking because they have no track record in Europe. Otherwise they would surely be seeded.

They put up an excellent performance in the BL last season and were the last team in the Top 5 European leagues to be defeated.
Versus Bayern they beat them at home, and drew away.

I don't want us to draw them.

 

[doctor_mac]

I wouldnt

Your parole officer has noted your response.

That's agreed.

 

[Glen C]

Im not bothered who we get. We'll beat whoever it is with ease. They won't be able to handle our MFS...or maybe it should be MSF...FSM...SFM....nah MFS sounds better.

 

[Zlate]

Hoffenheim have lost their best CB and beast CM, they are strong but not as strong as last season.

 

[Holle]

We all know how Nice would pan out.

Balotelli to destroy us.

 

[RedStar]

Balotelli to destroy us.

And then we bid £50m for him

 

[6TimesaRed]

And then we bid £50m for him

To replace Coutinho..

 

[Dreambeliever]

Only one English team has ever failed to qualify, we'll make it with ease

 

[DHSC]

Only one English team has ever failed to qualify, we'll make it with ease

That's us fucked.

 

[singred]

Only one English team has ever failed to qualify, we'll make it with ease

Everton in 2005 ?

 

[Bogglegox]

Everton in 2005 ?

Those in glass houses.

Welcome to the site mate.

Maybe find yourself an inflammatory or otherwise interesting avatar of some type 😉

 

[dmishra]

We've drawn Hoffenheim.

 

[HC]

Tricky one this but I think if we go balls deep we should do them over two legs.

It'll be away in the first leg

Cheers Froggy. This one is on you!

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fuck, thought this was later.

When do we find out which of the dates we play on?
