JohnMc 2,473 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 You'd fancy us against Spartak at home, away might be different. Likewise Vienna I'd expect to be on a similar level to us. Villareal should horse us if they're taking the tournament in any way seriously though. I'm just delighted we're even in this draw, let's not lose sight of that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,342 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not the glamorous draw I was hoping for, and with trips to Russia and Villareal, perhaps not the draws that the guys and gals in the travel club were hoping for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The germans will beat Celtic IMO and Salzburg are a tough nut. They got wins against Marseille, Lazio, Dortmund, Real Sociedad last season in the Europa League and only just lost out in the semi final against Marseille. I'm also hoping that Rosenberg will be out for revenge! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAA 3,603 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 A favourable draw I would say. Villarreal and Vienna were two of the easier teams I their pots. Spartak Moscow not so much but there were plenty tougher teams in that pot. I can certainly see us getting a few wins. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financially and for the morale of the club it was important to qualify for the group stage. Now however I think the domestic league has to be our primary focus and the EL is for enjoyment only. I pretty much think so too. The money from it was essential and has now been captured. Our greatest priority moving on has to be winning the league then a crack at the tens of millions on offer in the CL.

Which gives us a chance of racking up some tidy bonuses for wins and a chance of a second place finish to reach the first knockout round. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we played Villarreal in the CL, some fourteen years ago, the wife and I went over for five days. We stayed in Peniscola, a wonderful coastal town. The coast is called the Orange Blossom Coast and is most dramatic. It was pretty much undiscovered back then, and ridiculously inexpensive. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
