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

[Giraffe]

It's going to be bloody Marseille isn't it. How annoying would that be! Bizarre they can rule out other English teams in this round but not a team you've already played. Crazy UEFA strikes again.

For ease of getting to and a winnable game Lens has to be the pick?

 

[um bongo molongo]

From a football perspective, I think Rangers must be the weakest team left. From a (midweek) weekend away perspective there’s loads of amazing locations on that list though. Is it correct that we can’t get an English side in the last 16?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Benfica or Sporting

I'm more concerned with us having the best possible opportunity to progress to the next round, than a glamour tie with a big European club, or a nice away trip. So Qarabag it is.

Qarabag at our place

Can we not have Rangers then? (not in list)

 

[chaileyjem]

What are the rules re: Playing English teams ? Can two english teams play each other in the R16 ?

 

[um bongo molongo]

Not in the next round - they're seeded.

So we can’t get any of the group winners?
I don’t think I’ve ever been so confused about the rules of a competition we’re playing in

Group winners can’t play each other so we can’t play any of Liverpool, West Ham nor Rangers for that reason.

Sporting would be the best away day. But let's hold off until the Semis for it.

I think you mean Benfica. Exactly the same city, only a slightly bigger ground (and thus more Albion).



I'll go for Roma. I'm not going to get a ticket via the normal avenues, so a day drinking in the sun, then Albion PLAYING F**KING ROMA, then a day enjoying the sights in one of the most culturally rich cities on the continent. Benfica or Sporting would be my 2nd choice.

Shakhtar…… for our Roberto!

It's two legs...

 

[dstanman]

Shakhtar in Hamburg would be good

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Anyone away first leg as I will be on holiday for the first leg and don't want to miss another great night at the Amex.

First leg is guaranteed to be away.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

I've just been researching getting to Qarabag.As Gus would say eees complicated. Maybe not.

I hear Milan is nice in March

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Baku

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

300 tickets and a week to sort travel and hotel.

BIIIIINFEEEEEST!

We would get loads of tickets, they often play big matches (which that would be) at the Olympic Stadium. Even there normal Europa League ground is an allocation of 1500+.

Young Boys at the Wankdorf Stadium.

Just for pun opportunities.

 

[Napper]

Parague / Lisbon / Hamburg in that order
