Europa League Draw Midday Friday

[Sputnik1]

Liverpool will learn their fate on Friday afternoon, with the draw for the Europa League’s round of 16 due to start at 12pm (GMT).

 

Teams in the draw 

 

Athletic Club (ESP)
Sevilla (ESP)
Valencia (ESP)
Villarreal (ESP)
Liverpool (ENG)
Manchester United (ENG)
Tottenham (ENG)
Dortmund (GER)
Leverkusen (GER)
Braga (POR)
Sparta Praha (CZE)
Lazio (ITA)
Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR)
Fenerbahçe (TUR)
Basel (SUI)
Anderlecht (BEL)

 

There is no country protection from this stage onwards, and there is no seeding. It is an open draw.

 

So who do you want? 

[Sputnik1]

We may as well take on one of the bigger challenges now because we have shown that we struggle against even the poorest opposition.

 

Let's have the mancs next, while it would be fantastic to beat them in the final it would be easier to take a defeat to them in an earlier round. I still think we would beat them.

[The Golden Eel]

Prague

Braga

Mancs

Anderlecht

Fenerbahce

Valencia

 

One of those 

[mike23]

Anyone other than United would do me. We seem to be incapable of beating them at the moment no matter how bad they are and 2 defeats in one season is enough. Hopefully someone else can knock them out and we can avoid meeting them altogether in the competition.

Im predicting we get Dortmund

Im predicting we get Dortmund

 

That's who we will get in the final 

[Red House]

Anyone of the last seven on that list will do, with the mancs drawing the Neville sisters in a clash of the thundercunts.

No to Basel and Shakhtar. Not Braga again. We didn't fair well against them over two legs. Something about playing in a stadium built inside a crater freaked the players out, I think. Would like to avoid stabbing Lazio fans as well, thanks. 50/50 on Fenerbahce. Anderlecht or Prague please.

[Jairzinho]

 

...will play Sparta Praha.

 

[Trumo]

I reckon we'll get Leverkusen.

[kalasoma]

 

[tenner]

Prague would do nicely

Live steam indeed.

[Red Dawn]

Our highlight reel....a penalty.

[Ne Moe Imya]

Don't really want any of the other English sides, anyone else will do.  

 

Wouldn't mind an easy-ish side, I'm far from convinced that we have any real chance at this trophy though I'd love to be proved wrong.  Maybe Valencia, Braga or Sparta Prague would be nice.

 

I predict ... Basel.

 

Edit: Is this on?  The TV said it starts at noon but I'm not seeing it on anywhere.  Am I off an hour or something?

[Russ Atmosphere]

Home first leg v Mancs

[The Golden Eel]

Hahaha

[kalasoma]

Booooooo

[El Rojo]

Get in. Let's do them.

[Trumo]

Man Utd it is then. First time we're playing them in Europe if I'm not mistaken.

[chrisbonnie]

delighted, we'll knock those wankers out

[Gym Beglin]

WIN

[John101]

Harder games in the draw like but we will see.

 

We are both bang average.

Away in the second leg is a bitch
