Only an hour from Calais, I can see a big turn out for that.

Also one of the biggest stadia left so could be 4k tickets.

Could end up having to beat Ajax, Lille, Fenerbahçe and Fiorentina to win this thing

Imagine 5 years ago being told those teams were in our fixtures this season!

Worst possible draw for Lille according to French TV Canal plus.
Yet a difficult draw for us but it could have been worse with Fiorentina.

Probably the toughest draws we could have got. And bith legs away 2nd leg

Nah, that would've been Fiorentina, well piss this.

I hope so because the winner of fenebache vs olympiakos 2nd leg goung there that both very hostile places to go. If our players thought legia was bad these two are on another level

Fiorentina get the easiest route to the final

Agreed, could well be us v them in Atherns.

That'd be quite the colourful final.

Yes, you have to consider that everyone left is looking at us and thinking 'fuck that, avoid at all costs"

We were just about favourites prior to the draw. Has that changed at all now the routes and likely opposition is known.

If we get past lille id expect it to be fenebache in semis

At least if we do win no one can say we fluked it as we have had one of the toughest routes getting there

They'll be ok, mate. I know what you mean, but I found them both ok.

Have been to see both teams play in their stadiums. Went to see Olympiakos and AEK with a few AEK supporting colleagues. I just remember it being really smoky. Fenerbache was a bit all fart no shit, and not a patch on Besiktas for atmosphere.

Bollocks, I'll miss the home match as I'm in northern France which is troubling, a switch of dates for the home and away legs would have been just perfect. Alas.
