UEFA Europa Conference League-Knockout stages (Olympiacos)

[PaulWinch again]

I think it’s great to have Ajax. After such a long time out of Europe it’s a proper tie between two big clubs.

[Meanwood Villa]

Agreed. It seems one of the harder ties on paper but it will certainly get the interest up. Looking forward to being in a packed VP for the second leg.

We're still favourites to win it after the draw. https://www.oddschecker.com/football/uefa-europa-conference-league/winner

Good draw - worst Ajax side in years.

There was a good few thousand Villa in Amsterdam last time, despite the modest Alkmaar allocation. Every English accent you heard for a few days was a Brummie one. You'd expect a lot to go over again regardless of tickets.

Just been on Reddit and every single Ajax fan is full of doom and gloom about the draw.

Ajax v Villa might be high profile enough for Irish TV to put it on instead of Brighton.... maybe.

No chance, not only Brighton but 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' playing at the same time.

Lots of pesshimishm on there?

The team could be back in Brum by 11pm if they wanted then.

Just in time for last orders.

For those who waited “while they checked with their mate/missus” wasn’t that a conversation which could have been had preemptively?

I'm excited by this draw we can beat the Dutch powerhouse should be two good games.

"Shall we book plane tickets to Amsterdam in case we draw them in the next round"?  Those sort of conversations?

sure somebody in here had done a spreadsheet with all the permutations and travel options for each scenario. Hopefully a story with a happy ending.
