Please get The Rangers and pump them. That is all.

One team from each pot?

The shorter travelling the better

The scots, nords and belgians
But that is not the easiest games

 

[bingobob]

I forgot Chelsea were in the Europa league as well

Who's hoping to be drawn with Videoton? Might be our last chance to return all those old VHS tapes that have been cluttering up the downstairs cupboard.

Rangers, Genk and Rennes would be ideal for me. Hardly any travel time at all. Hour or two to each one.

Nightmare scenario would be getting Qarabag, Krasnodar and Astana especially since we play games right before the NLD and then our regular nightmare Xmas away game at Southampton.

We also have a Monday night game vs Leicester before one game which is jokes.

Some of these teams.

The first rounds of this competition is crap.

That happened last year as well, think it was West Brom. Would have happened twice if Southampton hadn't accepted moving their game to a Sunday. The PL and Sky should be embarrassed.

Dudelange would be a pretty cool one to get - first ever team from Luxembourg to get to the group stages of a Uefa competition. Real Betis would be cool too, good ground and style of play. Then from pot 2 Celtic would be interesting, or PAOK just for the Chuba Akpom reunion.

Here's a draw simulator for playing around with while they drag out the real draw.

Really need to avoid FC Astana, that travel would be a killer.

What a trip this would be: Dudelange's Stade Jos Nosbaum...

Ostersund's Jamtkraft Arena looks like the Camp Nou by comparison...

Astana sits on the same longitude as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Siberia...astonishing that it competes in a Uefa competition.

"The" Rangers.... not much "the" about that shower of ****e. Awful club... we're talking awfulness on the scale of Leeds...

3,500 miles from London, like I said in my last post there’s a couple of teams in other pots just under 3,000 miles. Those trips would be brutal.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Some decent teams this time we could end up in group with Betis/Leipzig Milan/ @bingobob team

 

[StatLad]

I got a simulated group of:
Arsenal
Rapid Wien
Standard Liege
Apollon Limasol

That seems fine, don't have to travel especially far for any of these and they're all pretty beatable.

I'm not even a Celtic fan and I'm praying for this!
As I'm starting to have a huge dislike towards Rangers, mainly because of their " fans " - ones I had no idea even supported the club until this season.
They're on a serious level of delusion because they're currently " undefeated " - against European pub league teams and in a domestic league they're not even top of because they bottled wins against Aberdeen and Motherwell, but they never mention that part. Wankers.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

I'm actually looking forward to this competition. At least we're in with a chance to win something.
