Europa League 2025-26

Maybe I’m a bit dull, but I’ll take the dull games if it gets us to the knock out stages.

[nick harper]

Back to the De Kuip stadium after 43 years. Much changed of course.

Could be a lot worse, I guess Fenerbahce arguably the toughest fixture. Let’s not get all cocky though!

Fenerbache away is tough.

I don't fancy our chances against Go Ahead Eagles.

Pretty arrogant of them to alreasy assume that they'll take the lead.

We'll beat them without having to take off. Not to crow about it

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Any idea of likely away allocations

[SaddVillan]

Home Tel Aviv FFS

Would this be behind closed doors?

I don't see why it would be.

If anything it will be home fans only if it’s a security concern.

That would be a good compromise.

Playing behind closed doors would advantage them
And we'd also lose gate receipts etc.

[Toronto Villa]

Nobody wanted to be drawn against us.

Managerless Fenerbache following Mourinho's sacking yesterday.

[Duncan Shaw]

Had hoped for Salzburg away and add a cheeky weekend skiing on the end!

[rob_bridge]

Nobody wanted to be drawn against us.

Except the away team fans who have to experience the majestic place

Which UEFA won't consider at all when they announce that it's behind closed doors. They even made Besiktas move a home game against them out of Istanbul last season. Rewarding them for committing genocide in Gaza.

I thought that, surely UEFA would have to compensate us?

With young plucky striker Jhon Duran.

Who’ll attack the game with his usual guile and either score a 55 metre worldie or get sent off after 90 seconds.

Easy draw but no sexy opposition. Overall you'd take it. No excuses for Sunday hangovers in the subsequent league games. Apart from the away one after coming back from Turkiye.
