Not excited by this - ....yet

here is a more accurate list. (source http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/uefa/seeduc2007.html)

Presuming that the seeds all win tomorrow night we WILL be playing one of those named below:

 

Villarreal

Bayern München

Ajax ***

AZ Alkmaar

Panathinaikos

FC Basel **

RC Lens @

Girondins Bordeaux

Bayer Leverkusen

Club Brugge

Palermo

Anderlecht ***

Tottenham Hotspur

Real Zaragoza

Rapid Bucuresti

Lokomotiv Moscow

Zenit St. Petersburg **

Sparta Praha ***

FC Sochaux-Montbéliard

Blackburn Rovers @

AEK Athens ***

Heerenveen

Hamburger SV @

Dinamo Bucuresti ***

Bolton Wanderers

Austria Wien **

Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk **

Sampdoria @

Spartak Moscow/Celtic

Sporting Braga

Galatasaray **

Getafe

Atlético Madrid @

Everton

Fiorentina

Empoli

Stade Rennais

CSKA Sofia **

Hapoel Tel-Aviv **

Red Star Belgrade ***

 

I would love a draw against spurs, not a big trip but 10,000 dandys causing havoc in London - excellent 

Surely there is a chance we will draw a qualifier? Considering there are more qualifiers than Seeds/CL Dropouds?

Fucking Jute Dundee cunts 

 

Our fabricators in Dundee have delayed the delivery of some equipment until mid september (rather than tomorrow) which means I will have to miss the first leg if it is away as I have to install the equipent.

 

Please please let the away game be the second game 

Thought you could not go to the 2nd leg either due to the new job?

Right. I have finally after working for over an hour got a full list of teams still in UEFA Cup. Those marked with a U after co-efficient are playing today in UEFA Cup and can be deleted as and when the go out which will leave the 80 teams for the draw.

 

BUT

 

Another spanner in the works for trying to work out the groups tonight is that Seville and AEK Athens have still to play in Champions League and one of those teams will have to drop into UEFA Cup and both have different co-efficients but it is reckoned that UEFA will take AEK's co-efficient since they are "seeded" to get knocked out of Champions League and Put into UEFA Cup, so would discount Seville at the top. Either way it is unlikely to affect our grouping tonight as both are higher in the rankings than us and 1 will go through regardless.

 

When all teams that go out tonight are deleted from the list then the group pots can be added 123456788765432112345678 etc and groups more or less worked out. Only problem that MAY arise is swapping of couple of teams if groups come out with teams from same country in them that may face each other (i.e. Spanish side in seeds and non seeds but this again is unlikely)

 

By 10ish tonight we can be reasonably certain of the 5 teams we can get in the draw but NOT 100% certain!!

 

Seeded teams coef.

Thought you could not go to the 2nd leg either due to the new job?

 

Aye but because of the fuck up in dundee, my boss has agreed it is now ok to visit my sick granny in October as I cant do it next month 

Looking down the list there are some great potential trips in there. For selfish reasons would like any of the Romanian, Bulgarian or Russian teams as never been to these countries, any of the Spanish, Italian or Danish teams as I love visiting these countries and lastly any of the Czech teams as they are beatable.................... and the beer is the best in Europe.

 

Do not want to go to Iseral as expensive to get to or anyone from the Ukraine as its a dump and anywhere but Kiev is a pain in the arse to get to. However if we do get drawn in any of these places I will still try all possible means to get there.

 

 

If we have to go to Israel, at least the Egypt trip will finally payoff as we'll have played in that climbate!

Seeds are possibly

 

Basel

Palermo

Heerenveen

Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk

CSKA Sofia

 

 

So we have the following;

 

Bayern Munich (Munich, Germany)

 

Club Brugge KV (Bruges, Belgium)

 

SC Heerenveen (Heerenveen, Holland)

 

FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk (Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine)

 

PFC CSKA Sofia (Sofia, Bulgaria)

 

 

Munich, with the 2nd leg away is my preferred option, but guess we'll just have to wait and see.......

 

Think we might be able to make a game of a couple of those, doesn't look over promising though!

 

It seems to be more dead than usual on here, but I will try it anyway.

 

Does anyone know if it is the team that comes out of the hat first that has the home leg first?

I believe it is.

It would also depend if more than 1 team in the draw is from the same city and they are meant to play at home on the same night.

 

Fuck why am I so busy today>??

thats me got UEFA tv (or fit ever they call it) on at work - place is fucking busy as fuck but I dont give a shite 

HERE WE GO

HERE WE GO

 

can you update us please? I've only got it on BBC and it's as slow as a week in the Bar-L.

That should matter with our group should it?

 

I still don't like David Taylor.

 

This  is going to take ages like.

 

Dnipro, Holy shit!

could be worse - certainly winnable. still, nae much fun trip, like.

 

 

Motherfuckers. Ain't going to Ukraine cos it's too expensive, and can't get to the home game because I'm away with work.

 

Hope to fuck we make it to the groups now so I can at least get to a game!

Aye what a let down. Sorry been on the live chat on the hat for this.

 

Chunk how are you getting up to the home game? You on the bus after work?

I can't even make it to the home game as I am down in London/Peterborough for work.

 

The draw couldn't be worse, away tie that is too costly, and home game when I am in feckin England.
