    Fenerbahce flat out lucky to earn a draw against Salzburg today. Scored a PK in added time after being outplayed for 90 mins to level the match 1-1.

    Possible draws tomorrow:


    PSV Eindhoven CC: 64.945
    Metalist Kharkiv CC: 62.451
    Fenerbahçe CC: 46.400
    Real Sociedad CC: 17.605
    Paços de Ferreira CC: 12.833

    None of these really strike great fear in my heart; however, who would be your preferred draw and who would you like most to avoid?

    For me:

    Preferred: Pacos de Ferreira (inexperienced)
    Avoid: Metalist Kharkiv (full of Brazilians and Argentinians)

    How about..

    ..YOU???

    Sociedad are the ones to avoid. I'd also rather not have to go to Turkey

    Spanish teams are always frightening - it was a toss up between them and Kharkiv for me.

    They had a good season, finished above Valencia and Malaga

    I think Sociedad wouldn't be as difficult as people think, from the little bits and pieces i saw of them last season they are good going forward but physically they would find it difficult against us.

    I think Pacos would be the easiest of the possible opponents.

    I'd much rather PSV.

    A) It's a glamour tie, so it drums up more interest (ticket sales etc.) which means more money for transfers
    B) It's still winnable
    C) It would be a good barometer to see where our team actually is at right now.

    I'm of the understanding that PSV have lost both Van Bommel and Strootman (who is supposed to be very good), so they could be on the easier side of the five.

    But Park Ji-Sung has returned and we all know what he will do to Arsenal

    Ill never forget that goal where he ran the whole length of the pitch unchallenged, some of the worst defending i've ever seen from an Arsenal team

    Sociedad will not be a push over. 4th in la liga, only behind the two madrids and barca. Ahead of Valencia, Bilbao and Sevilla.

    They also lost Illarramendi, which could be a big problem for them. I'm not sure if they've replaced him yet.
