Europa League 2015/16

[DarkSithLord]

Happy with the Draw!! LVG has upperhand on Liverpool.

Worst possible draw for our Coefficient Ranking especially with Lazio drawing the weakest team in Sparta Prague.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Also it is the first time we will meet in any European Competition

 

[smat]

Haha yes!!! Brilliant draw.

 

[yellow]

Dortmund v Spurs is a fantastic prospect.

 

[Whitechapel]

That's only Man Utd through then from the English teams.

 

[The Iron]

I've only just seen the draw.

Liverpool v Man Utd
Dortmund v Spurs

Nice!!

 

[G-Dragon]

Lets see if United can fluke it this time

 

[voltage]

Dortmund x Spurs sounds a great fixture.

 

[sl1k]

wicked draw that, lvg won't need to do much to get the team horny for this one.

 

[Super_horns]

BT will enjoy those games - and it means one English team going to the quarters.

 

[JimJams]

Great test for Spurs. Looks like they've drawn this to fuck our coefficient though. Coincidence? My tin foil hat says no.

This is a conspiracy theory I can get on board with, got anymore of that foil?

Klopp: "I won't talk about tactics here. Even in Manchester they have televisions."

 

[SALTIRE]

Fantastic stuff it's going to be great! Slater called it as well the sod!

Great tie for Spurs as well getting Dortmund!

This is what the EL is all about!

 

[Christian Slater]

This will be the first time we've met in Europe, won't it? A shame it's under disgraceful circumstances in the scrubber cup, but it makes it a bit tastier.

 

[Nilsson]

A reason to stick with LVG for a bit longer then, he always beats Liverpool.

And Klopp will use that hubris against you I'm sure.

This is what the EL is all about!

Teams that aspire to be in the Champions League, battling it out against other teams that aspire to be in the Champions League to try and win the competition to make it into the Champions League?

 

[sl1k]

aHerm IT'S THE THINKING MAN'S European comp actually (see the United vs tyre shop thread title penned by Steven.)

It's where the passion and a lot of thinking is at nowadays.

European football at its best, and with the extra incentive of the CL at the end it does help.

I don't get this. Both sides are beatable by most sides left in the competition which would have meant elimination before the quarters. This tie guarantees an English side in the quarters for the first time since 2012/13 which will be good for the coefficient. How on earth would is this bad news for England's coefficient?

Spurs are as good as out for the record. Not only because they are an inferior side to Dortmund but because they have a shot at winning the title for the first time in 20 years and that Dortmund's league campaign is over (they'll finish 2nd).

I'm happy that two Spanish sides have been drawn against each other btw (Bilabo v Villarreal).

 

[JimJams]

I don't get this.

Yes you do.

 

[Super_horns]

G.Nev's mob back level in the tie.

Lazio already 2-0 down at home to Prague.

 

[mente captus]

they need now to win the match, right? is the last italian team in europe, or?

 

[SALTIRE]

Don't actually tell me Valencia are playing well tonight and competing?

 

[Super_horns]

they need now to win the match, right? is the last italian team in europe, or?

They were - was 0-0 after the 1st leg.

 

[SALTIRE]

Jesus Bilbao don't do this ffs!

 

[JimJams]

They were - was 0-0 after the 1st leg.

First leg was 1-1.
And now Sparta are 3 up, which is good news for our coefficient.

 

[JimJams]

Out of interest, does the Champions league qualification disappear if the Europa league winners qualify for the CL already through their domestic league. Dortmund for example winning it, would that effectively kill the prize for the competition, or does it get handed to the other finalist? I'm pretty confident it doesn't, but just wondered if anyone else knows?

 

[JimJams]

In other news Valencia are absolutely all over Bilbao, shitting on them but just not finishing them off. Bets on a late Bilbao goal to see them through?
