UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[VillaTim]

When is the draw for the group stages?

I hope the draw is as thrilling and fascinating as the last one . UEFA really know how to turn on the razz-ma-tazz

[Somniloquism]

Is there a chance we could draw Hearts in the group stages or are they in a separate pot for some reason?

We're favourites to win the whole competition at 3/1.

We might as well get a trophy replica made and ready to go in that display cabinet in the tunnel area.

Does anyone know when the victory parade in Brum will be? I want to make sure I get a flight back from Athens in time for it.

it's fully booked up by Birmingham City till next year because of the ground improvements, buying a player over £10000,big bright shining badge on the stadium, getting a crowd of over 12000 and having a waiting list of 20 million for season tickets, but more importantly there is extra overtime shifts at the Longbridge,in other words we are completely f**ked

You missed out their perennial 'Brew XI most fans drinking in town trophy' celebration.

memory not as good it was, can't remember even winning the European Cup in 1982

[Brend'Watkins]

Hope we don't draw Bruges. It would be pretty scary over there with all those bluse fans about.

Whatever amount we brought over to that game if it should happen it would be nowhere near the amount they managed even if it was twice as many.

Yep, from how I understand it there's a 1 in 4 chance of drawing Hearts in the next round, assuming both us & them get through

[DeKuip]

Thanks for the date. Looking at the fixtures, there are some well-known names in the draw.

I was looking at that the other day and there’s some big teams with a lot more recent European experience than we have…Dynamo Kyiv, Besiktas, Fenerbahce, Frankfurt then some smaller teams but still with the Euro experience like Lille, Twente and Bruges.

Looking at tonight’s scores we won’t be playing Twente. Or Ajax, in the group stage anyway. I fancied Alkmaar to be our biggest threat but they’ve not had a good home leg tonight.

[olaftab]

Hearts have been beaten 2-1 at home tonight so there is not much chance of seeing them in the League.

1 in 8 isn’t it. 8 groups.

I'm sure they said in commentary last night that Aberdeen could be in the Conference League group stage if they lose their Europa League play off.

I'm sure they said in commentary last night that Aberdeen could be in the Conference League group stage if they lose their Europa League play off.

That sounds right. There will be 22 winners in the Conference League play-off round, and they will be joined by the 10 losers of the Europa League play-off round to make up the 32 teams in the Conference League group stages.

Looks like the tweet has been deleted so there's still a chance.

No surprise, not many managers have lost to Villa and Livingston in the same week and kept their job.
