Any Spanish team that drops into the EL from the CL!! United are only strong on reputation. The way Athletic play their football, they are a far better footballing team than United.
Mods. Could we share this thread with out friends at Liverpool and Chelsea. As so few West Ham fans use this board, it would be a waste of time making a link to their board.
Thanks From that lot my preference would be Inter, St Etienne & Dundalk. Some horrible looking trips in that 4th pot. Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Israel & some small Turkish towns Another selfish preference for me is that we're home first as I know I can definitely make the first matchday. I'm currently down to work the second so would have to try and swap shifts with someone!
I'm afraid they're out! Lost to Osmanlispor of Turkey tonight. And BBC reporting Nice are interested in signing Balotelli....!
If we're doing the former-teams thing, Schalke (Hojbjerg's team last year), Steaua (if we sign Stanciu) and Nice would about cover it, and works pots-wise.
Ok, having seen the pots, my choices would be: Ajax St Etienne Dundalk Shame we can't get Feyernoord.
Only one different to me then! Though I'd take any of Inter, Ajax, Bilbao etc. from pot 1. One of the bigger clubs basically. Just Inter would be my preference
Yep! I went with Ajax as my Dutch colleagues support them and if I can't get a ticket via Saints, I may be able to go with them. St Etienne is closest side to the office and Dundalk is Ireland and fairly easy to arrange work trips here!! Only caveat is that I'm in Germany for work on one of the group match dates in October, but I couldn't be that lucky could I?
