UEFA Europa League Round of 32 Draw [merged]

[lets all have a disco]

I'll take any of them as long as it not into the deepest darkest part of Eastern Europe in winter.

Bad times.

[Alioune DVToure]

Can't Juve still qualify if they beat us and Poznan lose?

Can't Juve still qualify if they beat us and Poznan lose?

Nope. Poznan have the tiebreaker against Juve, by virtue of their 3 away goals in Turin.

Tomorrow, 13.00 CET (12.00 UK?), in Nyon.

Who we gonna get then guys and gals? Or who do we want?

each other.

I'd quite like rangers! If we finish 1st do we get one of the teams that finished second and avoid the champions league teams or how does it work exactly?

Just read above! Being a mong this morning. I don't trust uefas ranking system though

Anyone barring a trip to Russia,Poland,Ukraine,Belarus et al.


A nice trip to France,Holland,Spain,Belgium would be cool.

[BlueinBosnia]

Gent, Anderlecht or Ajax for me. I think overall Ajax, though. We're well capable of taking them apart, and it would be nice to do it to one of the 'big boys' of the past.

Edit: it appears Ajax are seeded. Oh well.

Maybe they go on results going back 40 years?

However if we lose and Poznan win, you could get your dream!

We could.

[gillie]

We cannot draw an English team or a team from our qualifying group also we cannot draw the top 4 CL dropout teams.Rangers by virtue of not beating Bursaspor in Turkey means we could draw them.
