    It's a complete joke that the champions of a league have to play 4 games to qualify for the "Champions League", yet 16 clubs from 4 leagues automatically qualify for the group stages, which means 12 of them are not even Champions of their own league.

    UEFA have ruined football.

    . It's the money league that's all. This year is the first time in 22 years two league champions meet each other in the final.

    This mob sound decent. And had a good European campaign last year.

    Slightly apprehensive given it is a one off tie. But if we cant beat them etc etc.

    The one off ties make the games more exciting for the neutral, but not sure I'll enjoy this. We should take care of them but you're always playing against a somewhat unknown quantity in these games. Hopefully get an early goal, then I'll be able to enjoy it.

    Think the one off game suits us. We know exactly what we have to do. We’ve * up so many two legged ties in Europe because we’ve been caught in two minds after the first leg.

    Gut feeling before this was i would have preferred the Swedes. Always a bit apprehensive about Eastern European sides. It is true if it was the Swedes it was a neutal venue and for us to find it?? Hypothetical now i know.

    ps- goes without saying i still think we'll do them!!:84:

    They got through to the 3rd qualifying last year because they drew the Maltese champs in the 2nd round, they got pumped in the next round. In the groups they drew a lot but struggled to win. They were not that good just harder than you would expect at this round

    I just read that they are unbeaten in 6 away games. Held Dinamo Zagreb away.

    Certainly a bit tougher than youd like at this stage. But I'm always a pessimist during these.

    It would just be our luck to have this moved to a neutral venue, according to Sky news, Hungary are having a spike of CV19. With Croatia being added to the quarantine list, Hungary cant be far behind.

    It is what it is, 4 games so be it. The squad at present is more than capable of dealing with it.
