2017/18 UEFA Europa League

[starmandb]

We Could end up in a group along the lines of
Club Brugge apoel Nicosia and fc koln
Obviously there are many other permutations
Going on uefa team rankings and possible outcomes of games now that the draw for the final qualifiers have been made
Pot 1 could be us zenit lyon Dynamo kyiv Ajax villareal athletic Bilbao lazio fenerbahce Milan victoria pizen and red bull Salzburg
Should Everton progress they are likely to be in pot 2 being an English team we won't be drawn against them

[Royal Gooner]

I'd take that group.

[Royal Gooner]

Utrecht 1-0 Zenit

Wouldn't it be great if Zenit went out, that way the only real potential threat (pending CL dropouts) to us winning the title would be AC Milan.

[Zedie]

Whatever pot we are put in, we will be able to beat any team thats in there with us.

The real danger is from the CL drop outs and how seriously they take it compared to us.

[Zenith]

Some more scorelines which could potentially work in our favor -

Braga losing to Hafnarfjordur (1-0)
Dinamo Zagreb losing at home to Skenderbreu (0-1)
Fenerbahçe losing to Vardar Skopje (1-0)

[Zedie]

Zenith out here making up random words to see who notices.

[Royal Gooner]

Welcome to the realities of the Europa League, nobody clubs from parts unknown with names you can't even pronounce.

[GoonerAlexandre]

Datspiceis is leading 1-0 in their qualifier against Amadting

[Zenith]

Skenderbeu and Braga have equalised, Fenerbahce and Athletic Bilbao still trailing.

Zenith out here making up random words to see who notices.

RIP Turkish coefficient

Ref just took the players off the pitch because of crowd trouble at the Everton v hajduk split game

That's the problem with Croatians, most of their fans are Nazis including the Split fans. I distinctly remember seeing Zagreb fans when we played them waving a blue coloured nazi flag.

[Royal Gooner]

Everton beat the nazis 2-0

St Nicklas of Bendtner's team beat Ajax 1-0 in Amsterdam. #TheLordBendtnerIsComingHome

AC Milan beat some nobodies 6-0

[Cripps]

Crowd trouble at Everton apparently

[Royal Gooner]

Pot 4 has been determined. So we're guaranteed at least one of the following. Rijeka (Croatia), Vitoria De Guimares (Portugal), Atalanta (Italy), Zulte Waregem (Belgium), Zorya Luhansk (Ukraine), Hapoel Beer (Israel), Istanbul and Konyaspor (Turkey), Vitesse (Holland), Slavia Prauge and Zlin (Czech Rep) and Lugarno (Switzerland)

Hapoel Beer might be interesting.
