Tough groups / travels for Man Utd and Soton in the Europa.
But at least Soton get to play Inter Milan (Bale link ;) ) .

And that should be a good enough reason for clubs to want to compete in the Europa.
Ok, we're a little bit jaded from being in it so many times and never looking like winning it, but that's not true of many other sides.
How often do fans from clubs other than about seven of the regulars in Europe get to see these sides at their grounds?

Man Utd supporters won't be that bothered, but they've got two decent sized clubs and one total unknown.
Makes it a bit more interesting and the van Persie link could spice it up even more.
Good chance of progress if they take it vaguely seriously and I think that Mourinho will.

Southampton have one big name, one medium European regular and an unusual Israeli side.
There's a generation of Saints fans that have never experienced this sort of thing and they've got a good chance of getting through.
I don't know anything about their manager though, so I have no idea how he'll approach it.

Astra Giurgiu ended up in a group with Roma, by the way.
I think that'd be a big enough draw for the fans.
 
PNP.We have never looked like winning the EL because we didn't want to win it.We've been trying for the PL crown instead! Unlike Sevilla.They know they won't win the Spanish championship and concentrated on the EL with successful results!

Monaco beat PSG 3-1 yesterday!
And they are generally acknowledged to be our 'easier' opponents in the CL!!! :emoticon-0107-sweat

I'd laugh at him + tell him several reasons, but he won't hear it
as his walkie talkie don't work in the OS.

Somebody on Twitter PLEASE post this amended version in response :

There's absolutely no reason why Dimitri Payet can't be playing in the Champions League
for a PL club within the next five months.
