Europa League 2016/2017 (Died 8/12/2016)

[Stu Man Do]

Nice to play some big teams but I'd have preferred to get them in the knock out stages!

[Shroppie]

We can still get Nice too

 

Edit. Not any more.

Greece was very bad when I went there to watch England. Being in some grotty ****-hole part of Athens is very different to the nice Tavernas etc you visit on holiday.

 

I'm too much of a pussy to enjoy anywhere too fighty, think my first choice would be:

 

Milan

Prague

Dundalk

 

just one more to go!

[Sour Mash]

Holy Flirking Schmidt! Inter Milan and Sparta Prague. Great draw for the away fans but we'll do bloody well to get through! If ever there was a better time to strengthen with a few more players...

Tell us about all these great players Sparta Prague have?

[saints1988]

jesus christ what a group

[Shroppie]

Missed Qarabag too

[Noodles34]

Think thet do, why wouldn't they.

When do we know dates?

[Surman4no7shirt]

San Siro has a capacity of 80k. Minimum allocation for us would be 4k. How easy will it be to get tickets for that one?

[Whitey Grandad]

where the **** do the Israeli team play? I take it not in Israel.

 

I thought it was Tel Aviv. And why not play there?

[Saint_clark]

where the **** do the Israeli team play? I take it not in Israel.

 

Of course it's in Israel, why wouldn't it be?

 

Worryingly close to the Gaza strip!

[Shance]

****ing yes!!! Get in. Inter Milan!!!!!!!

[wild-saint]

No issue for away tickets in Milan I guess

[Katalinic]

Saints in the San Siro....bloody brilliant

[Marsdinho]

where the **** do the Israeli team play? I take it not in Israel.

 

Why not?

[ashnats]

stupid question maybe - but why not Israel?!

[egg]

Tough draw but away days at Inter and Prague will be superb. Splendid.

[John Boy Saint]

Thank goodness we avoided Crystal bloody Palace!!

[ashnats]

not a stupid question then, since everyone is asking it!

[shurlock]

Bloomfield stadium in Jaffa:

That's not where they play. They're based in Beersheba.

[wessex saint]

Does anyone know dates for the respective fixtures?

[SNSUN]

Tell us about all these great players Sparta Prague have?

 

That was more a comment about Inter.

 

Previously linked with de Boer, Banega and Eder. Will be interesting to see how they get on.

[Sour Mash]

Brilliant group, love that!

[Noodles34]

When do we know the schedule?

[marc_saint]

where the **** do the Israeli team play? I take it not in Israel.

 

They do. The Turner Stadium. About 15km from the West Bank

[Surman4no7shirt]

so basically we'll take a massive support to milan and prague because no one wants to go to israel!

 

we can win that group. can't wait

 

Israel is actually pretty nice down by the Red Sea (Eilat). Never been to Beersheba though.

[Shroppie]

stupid question maybe - but why not Israel?!

FO advice is don't travel

Great draw Saints v Inter Milan WOW

[Saint Garrett]

 

 

[Turkish]

Absolute quality group. Really happy with that draw.

[shurlock]

Cracking draw

[S-Clarke]

What a cracking draw that is, I had a feeling we'd get Inter way back when we knew we were in the Group's. No idea why, just felt we'd get them.

 

Amazing trips.

[Whitey Grandad]

That's not where they play. They're based in Beersheba.

 

No? I was using Wikipedia already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapoel_Tel_Aviv_F.C.

 

 

[/url]

 

Edit: Who would have thought that there were two teams called Hapoel?

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapoel_Be%27er_Sheva_F.C.

 

That's the great thing about these European competitions. You learn so much about other cities and cultures.

Agree , I want there in '79 . Parts of Israel are lovely

[LGTL]

Everyone that wants a ticket for Milan will get one.

[ashnats]

 

 

 

holy **** that first one looks awesome.

[hutch]

They do. The Turner Stadium. About 15km from the West Bank

Can't be any worse than the old North Bank

You're looking for Hapoel Tel Aviv. We're playing Hapoel Beer Sheva.

[Saint Without a Halo]

holy **** that first one looks awesome.

 

2nd one isn't half bad is it

[Gemmel]

Israel is a fantastic place and Tel Aviv is a real party city. We are about an hour away by car from Tel Aviv.

 

Customs / Mossad will have a field day with travelling fans, going in and out of the country, but its all bark and no bite.... as long as you keep your cool.

[BotleySaint]

Excellent - now hopefully we get some more players in to have a good crack at it!
