Thank God, you wanted to win this one. It would be so disgusting to have Zurich progress to Conference league instead of Bodø+Glimt, just because you'd have gifted them the points.
What are you talking about ? Had we drawn or lost, PSV would have won the group and we'd have to play a big CL club like United. Who cares about Zurich or Bodo Glimt :confused:

Whoever we draw a lot can change till then, for instance we might have a different manager.

Convinced we'll get Ajax. They're all relatively tricky, while we have to play someone anyway, might as well be a big side to test ourselves.

It's laughable they call the runners up from the EL for 'seeded' and the CL outcasts for 'unseeded' when the latter is almost always going to be stronger. Just do an open draw with the 16 teams.

Let's do Barca.

We either stuff one in FDJ's face or get out of Thursdays nights and give our squad some rest for the latter half of the season. Win win.

Are Shaktar going to play their EL matches in Warsaw like they did in the Champions League?

Just reinforcing the point that the CL teams are losers is fine for me.

Couldn't care less about who United get but you have to feel for clubs like mijtylland, rennes, nantes, union Berlin etc. Getting to knockout in Europe is a good achievement and opportunity for teams looking to build and develop and the reward is spectacularly failing big clubs who should just be out of Europe

It can go both ways... some clubs bounce back from CL relegation and want to win at least that cup, others are in turmoil or not prioritising it but instead the league. So yes, smaller clubs might just be knocked out by the big ones, but they might also get a great opportunity to win against a big club and embarass them, which males a great underdog story.
