[Archived] Uefa Cup

[SAS]

Anyone know where will be annoucing the fixtures first ? UEFA.com normally takes a while for new news to hit.

im sure they said a timetable will be posted on """""" door in 30minutes time

[LeChuck]

Such a tough group.

I haven't seen who we play at home/away yet, but ideally for the home ties I'd like Feyernoord, as it's the most glamorous on paper, and Wisla, as they are the team I'd most fancy us to beat but teams from that region do tend to be extremely difficult on their own turf.

OK OK OK OK OK. The fixtures were from the UEFA.com site but I copied the Champs league ones instead! Its late here in Sydney and some of us have been at work all day!!

Next year though....

My thoughts exactly and if we have Wisla at home it minimises the travel effect for the players in the following PL game.

Tottenham and Newcastle have far tougher draws than us...stop worrying and enjoy it folks!

[The Gull]

You can fly to Krakow from Liverpool as well with Easyjet

[pleasure]

we'll walk that group. easiest of them all.

gonna have a flutter on us winning the whole thing, while we're still at 25-1+ .

the spuds and newcastle draws are hilarious! I've still got tea streaming from my nose!

[pick32]

easy group think it is between us and feynoord who win it. wouldnt mind feynoord and nancy away. dont realy want to be going to poland

[SuperStella]

krakow and feyenoord

PLEASEEEEEEEE

[Finch]

If the top 3 go through you have to fancy us being able to progress.

[Biddy]

Not that we know we are playing them away yet, but how the heck do you get to Nancy?

It's about a hundred miles East of Paris, I think. On the way to Strasbourg. Should be able to fly to Paris and get a train over.

Yuk

I hope we get Feyenoord and Basel away. They are easy to get to, and quite cheap until the airlines realise.

I'm not so optimistic, we have got a relatively better draw but we still face a tough schedule in the Premier League and the League Cup. We still rely on some key players and Admiral will be out until the end of the year.

Woulkd have preferred them to be the other way around. Krakow and Feyenoord are the two hardest away trips out of the 4 teams

[philipl]

Krakow is one of the most beautiful towns in Europe but the fans have a bit of a nasty reputation. Feyernoord fans are nasty full stop.

On footballing terms, just as well we are not travelling to Nancy (played 4, won 4 at home).

We can and should win this Group with those fixtures.

[nellybc]

Sorry to Abbey and a couple of others but away on the 19th will surely mean the bolton game going to the sunday

YES !! result
