Could've done without playing here on a Thursday:

Could be worse: imagine what would've happened if we played there with Andros Townsend in the team...

 

Oh, I don't know. I'm sure the people in those housing estates in the background would appreciate the free match balls.

 

How many games before we get into groups?

 

I think there's two more after this one.

 

ffs

what an effort

 

So with Plovdiv confirmed, if we get through them, our potential opponents in the next round will be one of:

Botusani (Romania) or Shkendija (Macedonia).
Maccabi Haifa (Israel) or Zeljeznicar (Bos & Herz).
Kairat Almaty (Kazakhstan) or Vojvodina (Serbia).

Air miles, baby! (Because you know if we do win we’re not getting a home tie!).

 

Mystic DH

 

Are the fates going to balance this out by allowing us to be awarded penalties this season?

 

Perhaps Nemesis will give Spurs group stage opponents
who are in north / west / Med region Europe.

< we shall see >

 

Two of the most inconvenient ties possible. Bound to affect the games around them at the very least.

I hate Europa

 

The other possibilities were actually far worse, IIRC.
It's away again, which is ****ing annoying, but the alternatives included Israel and Kazakhstan.
Eastern Europe is far from ideal, but at least it's still Europe.

 

Yeah I guess it could have been worse but the fact both are away games is so annoying.

I know winning Europa means getting back into the Champions league but it’s such a hard slog and it will impact on domestic fixtures big time

 

That's why we need a large, settled squad. Shame we don't have one.

 

Surely for the 3rd round league cup game they will send the under 23 squad. I can’t see any other way around it

 

We should be able to field a 2nd XI and use youth players as subs for both matches, but I don't think that we have the depth.
