    Pots are pretty much done and dusted now.

    2009?10 UEFA Europa League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    My ideal group would be:

    Roma
    CELTIC
    Fulham
    Sheriff Tiraspol

    Reasoning? Well, missing out on the CL, I'd like a glamourous tie or two, and Roma would certainly give us that. Fulham would provide good interest, being an English side, whilst Sheriff looks a guaranteed 6 points to me.

    I'd really hate to get a group like

    Shakhtar Donetsk (please Lord not again!!)
    CELTIC
    Dinamo Bucharest
    BATE Borisov

    How crap would that be, how dull?

    I'd prefer progressing to the latter stages where the better teams should be expected to face off, rather than drawing these teams early on with the chance of being out on our arses early doors. Additionally, if we have european football beyond christmas, this may be an insentive for potential signing targets in the next transfer window. I'd be more than happy with a group of;

    Panathaniakos
    Celtic
    Hapoel Tel-Aviv
    Sheriff Tiraspol

    We could end up with a harder Europa league draw tha Rangers Champions league draw shows that although 2nd rate its still a tough competition.

    Panathinaikos
    Celtic
    CSKA
    Ventspils


    Which means, we'll get:

    Roma
    Celtic
    Fulham
    Toulouse

    Cause, you know, that's what we do, get the hardest combo plus the token Battle of Britain.

    I'd like to get:

    Hamburg
    Celtic
    Twente
    Ventspils

    Would make for some good and winnable games and we'd be able to get one over on that fake Dutch *, wouldn't mind Bibao either.

    Would hate:

    Valencia
    Celtic
    Fulham
    Genoa

    Which we will probably get :54:

    Part of me really wants Roma so i can get over and see one of my all time football heroes Francesco Totti which i would love even though he would probably rip us to shreds which is why the other part of me is desperate to avoid them, they probably win it,

    Wondering about my hole getting mustarded
    Deep down my heart says - actually it's my bile gland inside my liver - GIE ME THAE * R*PID VIENNA - but then my more sensible organ (my sphincter) says - och ...gonnae no....

    so I'd be happy with VR, Ventspils and annan athletic - if available.
