Spurs have got the draw of their dreams- Young Boys.

Full draw is:

Dynamo Kiev v Ajax

Zenit St Petersburg v Auxerre

Braga v Sevilla

Young Boys v TOTTENHAM

FK Partizan v Anderlecht

Sparta Prague v MSK Zilina

Basel v FC Sheriff

Rosenborg v Copenhagen

Salzburg v Hapoel Tel-Aviv

The first four there are killers. Some real whipping boys will come out of those ties at the bottom though.

[Iceman]

i knew they would draw an easyish team... I can also see them blowing it big time, and losing that tie.

[Clitherover]

Spurs have got the draw of their dreams- Young Boys.

Has Gary Glitter taken over from 'Arry?

[K-Hod]

Has Gary Glitter taken over from 'Arry?

Haha, I knew someone would go there At any rate, Spurs have a good side, they just need a few re-inforcements, and rid of a few players. Why they got Kaboul back in (other than to blatantly help Pompey) is beyond me!

[1864roverite]

I say good luck to them. It will make a change from seeing the dross of Anfield struggling this season. At least spuds do actually play some good football at times.

[philipl]

My goodness, Spurs got a real chasing in that first half!

[Hughesy]

Hopefully it stays this bad or gets worse....if the takeover goes through it will make it much easier for us to catch them if they dont hit the £25m jackpot....COME ON YOUNG BOYS!!!

[adopted scouser]

COME ON YOUNG BOYS

right Hughesy, errr

[Mr. E]

yep....I hope Spurs go out.

[Amo]

right Hughesy, errr

D'you wanna be in my gang, my gang, my gang, D'you wanna be in my gang, Oh yeaaaah!

[BuckyRover]

I thought the Glitter joke had already been used in this thread. I was thinking about doing a Pete Townshend (the good paedo) one, but didn't bother

[2k.]

3-2 now gutted

[philipl]

Young Boys had there chances to put that tie to bed in the second half but fluffed all three of them.

Got to fancy Spuds now.

Arsenal, Man united and Chelsea should get through their groups. Can't see Spurs getting past the group stage. Group G is a real group of death...

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Group A and G are the toughest groups.

I think group B is a good group. Going to be a good battle between Schalke and Benfica to go through with Lyon.

[ABBEY]

baton down the hatches ...rangers in manc again and we all know what happened last time.

[philipl]

Spurs have got a draw which they will really fancy- they can be underdogs mentally whilst looking at a set of fixtures they should do really well in. They are at the stage where they can beat the very best when things go well and get beaten by Accy Stanley when it is not their day. So better to get a bunch of beatable big names which is what they have got now Raffa is at Inter.

What a catastrophic day yesterday for the Scots.

Rangers get a bad draw in the CL, Celtic and Motherwell get obliterated before the Europa League starts and Belgian clubs produce a set of sensational results. Scotland is not getting that CL place back any time soon.

Also noticed the Turkish sides were nearly completely wiped out as well. Shows that having money and favourable tax breaks buys you some players but no results in Europe.

[Bobby G]

Group G clearly the toughest group. I can see Auxerre deciding who goes out. I even fancy them as an outside bet in the group.

[Eddie]

I think Spurs could win that group, but I would certainly expect them to get through. Would be surprised if any of the English sides didn't make it through.

[Bobby G]

I also agree that Spurs have an excellent chance to qualify ahead of Werder Bremen minus Oezil. Spurs have a good side and they may be more suited for European football even. I expect them in the final 16 or even 8 at a little push.

Werder may have lost Ozil but they still have Marin and several other German talents.

Can't see the Spurs hype to be honest, i think they will struggle.
