UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[Somniloquism]

West Ham in Group A so does that mean we can only go into E-H?

[PeterWithesShin]

No as we're matched with Brighton apparently

[PeterWithesShin]

Nice easy introduction to Europe for Brighton so far.

[Somniloquism]

Potential tough group for Brighton. Who are now in B so we are in E-H.

Chap opening the balls has got particularly long arms.

Someone on RAWK said that Joe Cole looked liked he was defusing a bomb during yesterday's draw. 

[PeterWithesShin]

Brighton have Ajax, Marseille and AEK Athens.

[PaulWinch again]

Sorry why do Brighton or West Ham have any bearing on our draw?

Matched with a club for TV.

Apparently something to do with local TV timings as all the matches are on a Thursday.

None at this stage but could theoretically drop fiwn to the Conference League later on.

[PaulWinch again]

Ah ok thanks.

[Brazilian Villain]

Brighton have Ajax, Marseille and AEK Athens.

That seems sticky enough for a Europa League group.

I won't be able to watch the draw so I am trusting all of you to ensure my travel arrangements are to nice places

[Smirker]

I want Frankfurt. Have a German friend and when we were in the Championship and Frankfurt were on the up, I said how great it would be if Villa got back up and into Europe to get drawn against them and now it could happen. It would be so good.

Make it happen, football gods

Supposedly it does as matches in groups A-D have certain ko times and E-H have others. Country teams are then paired off across both competitions which supposedly means we now can't be drawn in groups A-D as Brighton have been drawn in B.
