    Jeez if we can't beat this lot quite comfortably then we don't stand a chance in the rest of the competition. Or any competition for that matter.

    Translated by a Vitesse fan...

    Eloy Room: Beautiful draw, great club, really looking forward.

    Peter Bosz: Tough opponent. Probably the hardest possible draw. Premier League club who have performed very well last season.

    Eloy Room: We've talked about it internally and we joked about drawing Southampton. And then it happened.

    Peter Bosz: I only know about their last season. Don't know about their current state. I know though that they play Feyenoord and Groningen. That gives us the possibility to watch and learn.

    Eloy Room: Yeah a lot of Dutch players there, also the coach, and the captain of Curacao, Martina, really looking forward to see them.

    Peter Bosz: Advantage to play away first. Great fixtures, also for the players.

    Eloy Room: For the supporters, easy accessible. Its not that far away. Hope to see a lot of support.

    On the last line that's a good point I hope they do bring a few so we get a decent atmosphere. I seem to remember there being around 65 Steaua fans last time <laugh>

    Unless we win those games comfortably. In which case, it would be quite intimidating...

    Now I know that this competition is a little bit pony in terms of its set up but how on earth are the fixtures for third round qualifying known when 2nd round qualification is still underway?

    I don't see why it matters.

    Well call me old fashioned but I thought it was relatively commonplace for the winners of second round matches to progress to the third round! I see that you don't know the answer either :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Arnhem eh? No one appears to have mentioned that it could be a Bridge Too Far?

    Well it's entirely possible that I haven't been paying attention properly, haven't read the draw rules, haven't understood the draw rules or (most likely) all three. However, a quick swatch at the BBC Europa League page shows me that the 2nd round fixtures conclude on 23rd July whereas the draw for our round on 30th July has already happened and none of the teams in action on 23rd are mentioned. That is plenty enough to confuse me. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/europa-league/fixtures

    Yeah looks like they have only included those fixtures they know are definite ties. I guess they will update next week.

    The important point of these games is to get fit not injured.
