[Albion] All I want in the Europa League knockout round is...

[Redinpeace]

Great thread, from a neutral perspective whereas Brighton fans are discussing who they’d like many of these sides will be wanting to avoid BHA.

I’ve said it several times Albion can win the thing, Milan next get shot of them and put the wind up the rest, enjoy the ride.

I want us to go as far as possible in this tournament, and I want us to experience as many different elements of European football as possible.

Qarabag it is then. (I can see the argumen for Shakhtar, let's have them in the Quarters IF we make it).

 

[Gabbafella]

Shaktar for RDZ
AC Milan because I'd love to go to the San Siro
Carrier bag because they're the weakest side left.

Azerbaijan felt really safe when I was there and nowhere near being a dangerous place - it’s f’ing miles from Ukraine and Gaza. Only slight issue is the Armenia issue but they ain’t strong enough to fight the Azeris And the border is miles from Baku. Lots of great restaurants and you can drink. There are loads of expats out there as BP gets most of its oil from the Caspian.
I think the European games are played in national stadium so 60k

Thanks for the info on this .. sounds a lot better than I first thought. As a country (from the map perspective) it really is surrounded by, shall we say, slightly unstable regions. All part of the adventure and the price of drink/food would probably offset the likely pricey flights. Still fancy Shaktar/Hamburg the most I think.

If there's a match in Hamburg on offer that we can effectively have as many tickets as we like for, we may as well hope for that to be as late on in the tournament as possible.

The BBC have no idea what's going on. According to them we could meet one of the other seeded teams......

Brother-in-law is a Rennes fan so yes, Rennes. Plus they've been a little bit dodgy this season by their standards. IF Rennes get through the play-off, two legged tie.

The guy interviewing Joao Pedro and De Zerbi on TNT last night kept on saying Brighton were in this Monday's draw, for the play-off round. Not sure who he was. His interviewing technique suggested they picked him out of the crowd to do the gig just after the final whistle had been blown.

Selfishly - Rennes as it's near my house in France and a lovely city.

Shaktar for RDZ
AC Milan because I'd love to go to the San Siro

Would rather avoid Shakhtar altogether. The emotional pull it might understandably have on De Zerbi would possibly lead to a loss of some intensity from him and as a domino effect maybe some of our players too.

 

[Mustafa II]

Want the easiest possible draw. The further we get, the more momentous the occasions become.

Qarabag L16
Sparta Prague QF
Galatasaray SF
AC Milan F

What dreams are made of

@AmexRuislip wants young boys but he don’t care who we play in the next round!!!

How's the cream working for you, do you still get the need to scratch

 

[Jeremiah]

Young Boys in Brighton ! Oh I say

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Toulouse as we know NSC loves a good sausage fest

Give over, as they say on Coronation St.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

All this Young Boys hilarity is making me nostalgic for those far-off days in the 4th form. Not sure how my sides can possibly stay intact over the next couple of months.

I don't want Toulouse.

I want to win!

If you can't find the idea that we might be playing Young Boys at the Wankdorf Stadium slightly amusing then I'm sorry for you...

Qarabag are probably the weakest team left in the competition but the travel to Azerbaijan would be a nightmare!

Lord Voldemort got out of prison and is now playing for Caykur Rizesporin Turkey so at least we won't have to face him.
