So, AVB did what 'arry failed to do last season and we made it through the group stages of the Europa league!
We can forget all of the average performances of the group stages because the REAL competition starts now (personally I think the whole competition should be made up of knock out stages- but that's a discussion for another day).
So we can draw any of the following teams for the round of 32-
FC Viktoria Plzen
Fenerbahce SK
Bordeaux
FC Steaua Bucuresti
FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk
KRC Genk
FC Rubin Kazan
Olympique Lyonnais
FC Metalist Kharkiv
Hannover 96
CFR Cluj-Napoca - Champs league reject
Olympiakos - Champs league reject
Benfica - Champs league reject
We can't draw these teams-
S.S. Lazio
Liverpool FC
Chelsea
Who would you like to see us up against (easy or exciting teams)? Who are the tough teams?

I'd say Genk. Close to us, and a relatively "simple" draw

Fenerbahçe, as it would give me an excuse to go to Turkey again.
Turkish girls....tastier than çi köfte, and twice as spicy

Not really bothered.
Once you get to KO stages, you assume they are all at least your peers, and get on with it.

Genk will bring the best beer, best women and best food.
You would know that if you were a sophisticated world traveler like me

Ghent has plenty of those. The beer is about the same. Ghent has better nightlife too. Bruges in the cultural capital of flemish belgium.
