    It'll deffo be the one we take the most to without doubt..

    Rennes is too soon and them and Cluj we've played in recent-ish time's..

    Lazio slap bang in the middle, Rome, no played in however long if ever and we'll get a big allocation. We'll take about 5 thousand minimum probably :50:

    Just watch for those mopeds everywhere :fear:

    Tough draw, I’m being a realist and saying we will be lucky to qualify from that group.

    My heart says we will top it but nothing to suggest we will after shipping 4 that mob at home. Yes we hammered AIK but they where * mince.

    Lazio and Rennes are much better than the Romanian mob.

    Lazio fans are * animals as well, be a concern for fans going to the away game.

    Think it's 2 from us, Rennes and Lazio. Was looking at it last night and thought Rennes would be a tough draw. Dark horse for me. Any of the 3 of us could win this group tbh.

    We realistically should progress from this group in 2nd.

    Just had a look at the Ligue 1 Table though... :97: Capture.PNG

    Lazio are a very good team in my opinion, watched their opening game of Serie A away to Sampdoria. They are excellent in the transition and Immobile is lethal.

    That being said Rennes and Cluj are both beatable.

    Flights to Rome booked. Got my head kicked in last time I was in Italy and consider I got away lightly. Will be much more vigilant this time. Tickets shouldn’t be a bother for it either and always wanted to visit the stadium. Apprehensively excited

    nothing too exciting, was away with my waterpolo club when I was about 16 (20 year’s ago) was the day Ireland beat Holland to qualify for World Cup. We all had our Ireland tops on and some of the lads died their hair green white and orange. Was in a club called casino in Chiavari, upon leaving we got set upon by about 30 scum lads, one of them flicked my mates watch of his wrist in an instant, he then head butted the * and all * broke loose. We put up a fight but we were 2/1 outnumbered. Last memory is getting bottled on the face and waking up on the floor getting my head stamped on. Out of nowhere 2 massive Dutch lads ran in and scattered the Italians. They shouted to me to get up and run. Well we ran like * back to the hotel but moments after the cops turned up and arrested us all and locked us in the cell. 3 of us got charged and we had to “elect a domicile” to represent us in a court in Pisa. Needless to say we didn’t bother. Haven’t been back since. Hopefully they don’t have me on their most wanted list yet. So aye go to Italy get a kicking and get charged for it.

    Tough group for sure. Lazio are a good team and Rennes have had a great start to the season.

    Need to take 6 points from Cluj and beat Rennes at home.

    The gaffer has a great opportunity to redeem himself from the shocking tactics and player selection in the second leg against Cluj. I have a feeling we’ll take them apart home and away this time..

    Rennes, tough games, they are on form. Any French team would be a challenge. Only plus here is we have enough French players to help with understanding and countering their game but if PSG couldn’t do it....

    Lazio... not quite what they were. Rennes will be a tougher game imo.

    Some Euro teams don’t rate the competition at all, and not sure which of these will commit a full team. Rennes seem to be starting well in France, will they focus on both fronts, interesting!

    Hopefully we will be solid enough at home, very open group with all 4 teams able to take points of each other. Will be a great feeling if we can take all 6 off Cluj. Can’t wait for it to get going now. Sign a DM and Lb and we are laughing
