Europa League Draw : Friday, March 18, starts 12pm GMT

[FoxForceFive]

Such a tough draw.

I would place us 6th, 7th or 8th out of the remaining teams.

Hopefully we put in a good show but give us next to no chance of progressing over 2 legs

That's the spirit pat!

Fuck me you're depressing these days.

How you're so pessimistic when you're living in a land of almost eternal sunshine is completely beyond me.

Even being a bit pessimistic I can't see five teams that are definitely better than us there. Being realistic I can see a couple of teams who should beat us on paper, but this is a cup competition.

Yeah, I think Dortmund are the best team left. With us, Villareal, Shaktar and Sevilla on about the same level but we're not as consistent as them. We still dont know which Liverpool will turn up but the last 8 games have been very good and at our best we'd match them. Yet we're capable of some mindblowingly poor performances aswell.

How many times were we all saying this kind of thing to ourselves on the road to Istanbul?

Can I use your tickets if you're away then?

I'm on about the away leg, I haven't got a ticket. Going the home one

This year's Champs League has featured some of the most depressing looking fixtures I can ever remember for that comp. Absolute shite.

With Ming the road to Istanbul would have ended in the third qualifying stage.

Well, you say that, but we had Scott Carson in goal against Juventus and still made it past them.

Haha that's right! Forgot all about him.
He was pretty good that game if I'm not mistaken. The goal was on him though I think.

Look at where those teams are in their leagues and look at our position.
I'm being realistic, most likely we are going out in the next round. That's not being depressing it's just stating the obvious.

Will be amazing if we win but it will be extremely tough over two legs

Indeed and that just made the win all the more incredible.

Very different scenario though to our team then. We had a superb defense and midfield.
