    Can’t wait for the new season to start. Need a manager in soon and get the recruiting done early (lol). Looks like it would take a huge effort to get into the CL this year but we can do if we act like a club our size for once.

    If we're lucky I wouldn't trust this current group to beat anyone in a knockout tie

    Just think, legit PSV, Monaco and Benfica could be some poor * qualifying games.

    Thank * we didn't let our ego get in the way of ruining our season and we don't need to settle for playing against this sort of club.....

    Huns have done aw 3 of they sides in recent times without much hassle. Saying that we will be going into the tie with a patchwork side as usual

    The huns won and lost against Rapid Vienna, and finished 3rd, behind them in the group.

    If Man Utd win the EL then we can't get Galatasaray. Rapid and Midtjy probably 50/50 considering the team we'll be throwing together and how bad we've been in qualifiers in recent years.

    Surely can’t make a bigger * of the league route than we have in the Champions route over the last few years...

    Good thing is you won’t have teams sitting back and countering us in the league route which we obviously can’t function with.

    Bigger teams like Lille, Lazio, Rennes - we do well against them.

    Smaller teams like Cluj, Ferencvaros, Sparta, Copenhagen - we can’t function against them.

    If we get to the next round we are guaranteed Europa league group stage, don't even have to get to the playoffs. If we drew Rapid Vienna then Antwerp we could get to the playoffs but Monico, Benfica and Donetsk would all tear us a new * hole

    No idea what our team will look like going into these games so cant say who'll beat or who'll paste us but that in itself doesn't fill you with much confidence.
