LIVE - Europa League Draw

Plastic pitch in Tromso

That will be our excuse when we sneak a draw with our youth and reserves out

In all honesty there are only 5 or 6 clubs in this comp that are worth worrying about; Lazio, Bordeaux, Lyon, Valencia, PSV and Sevilla. We should be winning a comp like this with the squad we have at our disposal. COYS!

Wait and see what the fixture schedule is first.
Then we'll know who our PL opponents are the following sunday, and whether we have League Cup ties as well.

Good point RDBD - I forget how strong our 'second string' is these days!

League Cup wouldn't impact so badly.
There will be one tie in Sept (Villa) , and if won another in October.

So it will be a case of who gets the short straw for the away legs.

Don't forget about the CL teams that only get third in their groups

But I agree, we should go all out to win it

Tromso are literally in the arctic circle

If Ade and BAE are still here come Sept 3 ...

I recommend a trip to Tromso lads. I went on summer holiday in Northern Norway in June and flew into Tromso. Gorgeous scenery, beautiful place. Airport terminal is v funny, v small.

"I went on summer holiday in Northern Norway in June"

And Oct to Dec ??

Fixture list is available now. October is the worst of the travelling.
AVB will have to get the selection right to beat Anzhi away on Oct 3.
Which hopefully will mean P2 W2 before the trip to Sheriff on Oct 24.

The trip to Tromso on Nov 28 should (depending on results) mean that a quite weak side can be sent (as Man Utd is the PL game on the following weekend) .
