Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)

[mitchmouse]

I was quoting the post referring to Arsenal.

oh, sorry. misunderstood. But wow... Juve are 100 miles ahead of Sporting. I think they are very ordinary

 

[Nick7]

fecking Spanish teams.

 

[Utd heap]

I'm in Seville on this date. If I wanted to go would I need to get tickets in the home end?

Do you have a membership with Utd?

 

[TrebleChamp99]

Hmmm not getting too ahead of myself but this is shaping up for a United vs Arsenal final

 

[Solius]

Do you have a membership with Utd?

I do not.

 

[Gerald G]

Not going to lie, I'm a bit sick of playing Spanish teams this season. Give us a side from another country!

 

[Kaos]

On the plus side there do seem to be some potentially tricky teams that will definitely go out this round. Assuming we get through, we'll be avoiding either Roma/Sociedad, Arsenal/Sporting, Sevilla/Fenerbahce.

 

[Utd heap]

I do not.

Then you can't get our end and there will be no spares due to the passport pick up rule. You'll have to look into home end.

 

[always_hoping]

Revenge for the 1-0 challenge game defeat in December..

 

[mitchmouse]

are there any french sides left in the competition. Want them in future games to ensure Dick F@cking Turpin can't ref us again

 

[JinnerJamie]

Newcastle (N)
West Ham (H)
Liverpool (A)
Betis (H)
Southampton (H)
Betis (A)
Brighton (A)

Doesn't look too bad actually

That'll take us up to 45 games played this season... So that's a minimum of 56 games this season and a maximum of 64!

Provided we go the distance.

my bet, the way things are going, is if we get through, it'll be Juve

 

[Lay]

Happy with another good team.

 

[nemanjaa]

Seems like they beat Sociedad back in october/november, but should be doable if the players continue to step up!

 

[Solius]

Fair enough, cheers! Would I have to watch without loudly supporting Utd you reckon?

 

[Bubz27]

Have to be wary of Joaquin.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Of course we got Betis.

 

[pacifictheme]

Definitely need to play the kids in the fa Cup with another tough europa league tie in the near future.

 

[PoTMS]

Of course we get Betis. It is probably the hardest team we could've faced.

 

[Scorpy]

Perfect draws in England and shite draws in Europe. Balance.

 

[AltiUn]

Every half decent team we've played this season is better than Betis, fecking infuriating to be drawn at home first leg though. We're essentially unbeaten against Spanish sides this season because that Sociedad penalty at OT was a crime against humanity so I don't include it. What we do need is for ten Hag to put pressure on the referees before the game, can't be doing with another 180 minutes of Spanish cheating.

 

[mitchmouse]

Anyne notice the games we've got around the two ties: LIverpool before game one, then Southampton which should be OK, but Brighton away right after. Compare that with Arsenal who play Bournemouth (a), Fulham (a) and Palace (h)

 

[stu_1992]

Ugh so annoying to get yet another Spanish team. A decent side too so there will be room to rest players. My worry is our team will take them lightly as its not the glamour tie that Barca was, but Betis aren't shite enough for us to just coast by.

 

[prateik]

Betis will not be bachao'd

 

[suheilsworld]

Don’t understand the Negativity! Teams should be actually afraid of us and not the other way around. We shouldn’t have a problem getting past them

If we beat West Ham, the Brighton game will be postponed and there'll be a cup game instead.

 

[Markolan]

Worst draw possible for Manchester United imho, Betis are a very decent side. I watched them against Roma early this season and they were the better team overall over the two matches.

 

[Sylar]

We can take on anybody. I think first leg at home might be a good thing for us. Put a strong team and try take a good lead into the second leg.

 

[mitchmouse]

I know it would have been tough, but I quite wanted Union Berlin. they are being talked about a lot in Germany this year but I don't think I've ever seen them play and know exactly zero about them!

 

[teague]

How's Joaquin getting on?

I thought you were joking until I looked at their squad. I can't believe he's still going. 41 years old and he's made 15 appearances this season. 950 career matches!

I'm guessing he's not as quick as when he used to tear down the wing for Valencia 15 years ago.

 

[Kaos]

my bet, the way things are going, is if we get through, it'll be Juve

Juve are a bit shit now tbf, they're 7th in Serie A, and the average age of their team is like 47.

Also some Pogba and Di Maria tears would be delicious.

Fixture list has been incredibly kind to Arsenal all season.

 

[mitchmouse]

If we beat West Ham, the Brighton game will be postponed and there'll be a cup game instead.

might make it easer... might be horrendous. Fleetwood would. be nice, more likely to be at the blood Etihad

 

[Solius]

Do we think this will be one of those 17:45pm kick offs?

 

[AltiUn]

Worst draw possible for Manchester United imho, Betis are a very decent side. I watched them against Roma early this season and they were the better team overall over the two matches.

Worst possible draw was Barcelona in the last round, Betis will be a breeze comparatively. If we're going to win this trophy then looks like we're going to have to do it the hard way. Problem with Spanish teams is what they lack in talent they make up for with referee assistance so we'll need to be wary of that.

 

[Drainy]

Odds that they get a dodgy penalty?

 

[Bwuk]

We just put out Barcelona ffs. We should feel confident with this draw.

 

[moodyred]

We don't do easy things. Bring them on. This united team fears no one.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Unlucky draw. Typical.

 

[Rockets Redglare]

fecking typical. Hate playing Spanish teams.
