Good god you are miserable - simply existing in the premier league is not enough for the majority of us. Away trips around Europe are brilliant and getting he chance to win something is even better! If we, and i think we will, get through to the knock out phase i'm expecting a massive U-Turn from everyone on here who is moaning about the EL.
JackanorySFC Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Hull, Aston Villa, Wigan, Birmingham, Fulham, Newcastle have all recently been in Europe. No guarantee of future success. Honestly couldn't give a ****. I bet supporters of those clubs have got some amazing memories/ stories around travelling to the ars£ end of Europe with their mates supporting the club they love. This is what being a football fan is all about, a (long) shot at glory and a chance to visit cities/ stadiums/ pubs/ Hospitals/ Police stations you'd never imagine existed all in the name of your City/ Football Club. It could be 20/ 30 years before it happens again (we more than most clubs should know that) so I fully intend to make the most of it. The Premier League and all the Sky led hyperbole around it can do one for a season, footballs about the glory and the memories, I want us to go for both this season. Up the Saints!
CB Fry Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Hull, Aston Villa, Wigan, Birmingham, Fulham, Newcastle have all recently been in Europe. No guarantee of future success. What is future success exactly and what is the thing that does guarantee future success? Just so we're clear.
Shance Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Can't ****ing wait for this draw and can't wait to see my team play away in Europe. **** all those who moan about the Europa league. I'm going to enjoy every minute of it. COYS!!!

marc_saint Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Where can I watch the draw live? BT Sport Eurosport1 Uefa website

marc_saint Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Agree also! I've taken today off work to be able to watch it and then spend the afternoon booking flights and hotels! To all those negative posters, enjoy watching it on tv on a cold and rainy night in England. I'll be having a blast watching the team I love playing around Europe!

To all those negative posters, enjoy watching it on tv on a cold and rainy night in England. I'll be having a blast watching the team I love playing around Europe! Couldn't agree more with you mate. If I was in the position money wise I would be the same. Fingers crossed for a fairly local one I might get too.
Marsdinho Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 10 mins to go! Cant bloody wait...finances a bit tight, so could do with Ajax, Gent and Dundalk.
The9 Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Can't see that anyone has created a map yet..... all the teams we could possibly draw and the cities they are likely to play in (due to wars etc). https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1VMAas6EFx9WVNVmt7fQ3q1UB9ec Let me know if you think it needs any changes. Nice. And 47 other teams.
The9 Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/israel Anyone for Israel?! No visa, direct flights, why not?
The9 Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 I'm going to enjoy overthinking it. Assuming based on last year that if Pot 1's Man U are in group A-F we'll be somewhere from G-L. From that we can work out that the other Pot 1 and 2 teams in Man U's half of the draw won't be playing us either.
S-Clarke Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Expect the first team to be drawn at around 7pm.
Saint_clark Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 This music is annoying me already. Same few chords over and over and over.

The9 Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Goosebumps, rapidly replaced by utter boredom. Here come the rules, pay attention.

The9 Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Red/Blue as expected. We won't be playing anyone in Man U's half.

marc_saint Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Everyone clear on the process? No? me neither! lol
The9 Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Also reminder that being in Pot 3 doesn't mean we're "position 3", that happens at the end.
southamptonfc Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Spoken like someone who doesn't go to away games. True, I manage about 1 or 2 a season but I do watch England abroad a lot so do know what it's all about. Playing devils advocate. Would you rather finish 8th in Prem or win the EL and get relegated from the Prem?
Whitey Grandad Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 This draw program is bo11ocks. Just press a button and let a computer instantly display all of the groups and matches. Job done. It's not bo!!ocks. It's all balls.

The9 Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Everyone clear on the process? No? me neither! lol Crystal. Saints in group G H I J K or L Can't play Olympiacos, Anderlecht, Zenit,
Shroppie Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Already can't get Olympiakos, Zenit or Anderlecht or Ajax or the Czech lot. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
LGTL Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Looks like we are going to get a "big" club from pot 1 too...
The9 Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 (edited) We'll play one of Schalke, Shakhtar, Ajax, Fiorentina, Internazionale, Villareal from Pot 1. Edited 26 August, 2016 by The9
nta786 Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Looks like we are going to get a "big" club from pot 1 too... 'But the EL is a second rate competition, only small clubs play in it'
Saint_clark Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 So...why is group F still empty? edit - wait just got it. Can't get Bilbao, shame.
Shroppie Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Looks like we are going to get a "big" club from pot 1 too... Shaktar, Schalke, Fiorentina, Inter Milan, Athletic Club or Villareal Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Sheaf Saint Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 Ajax, Inter and Fiorentina all still possible for us then.
LGTL Posted 26 August, 2016 Posted 26 August, 2016 How come inter and Fiorintina were allowed in the same colour group?
