Really want Benfica to drop into the Europa League, they'd be a dream opponent.

Just can’t see them losing to Fenerbache.

1-3 home defeat makes it look likely the fascists will drop into Europa.

Ferencvaros could too.

Blimey, I hope we don’t get them.

It wouldn't surprise me if we did, feels a little inevitable. Question is, do we want them home or away?

Going on pure probablilty, there is slightly less chance of us drawing them because unlike last year we have two more teams we could draw with Forest being the only team we can't.

Away, definitely. I wouldn’t take the kids with those animals roaming around. Plus, I wouldn’t want to be with the kids with those animals roaming around. 😉

1300 CET so 1200 BST. That's a combined "show" for Conference League and Europa League, though, so will likely be a while before we find out our opponents.

Europa should be first, but they might always have it as the main event and force people to watch Conference first.

I read something the other day that they “may” do a one button draw (apparently we have the technology) which does the whole draw in one go rather than going through team by team like last year. But it’s UEFA suits so who the fuck knows.

Hope they have found a way of making a few Euros out of it.

It is a one button draw, if they tried to draw them by hand it would take over a day or something. The team by team thing is just how they reveal it to the public. I imagine it will be the same format as last season. It's a pity i'm in the office.
