[Albion] Europa League last 16 draw

[kevhome2]

Does anyone know whether or not the English clubs avoid each other in the draw?

On another note, having been treated like cattle at Marseille I for one am not keen to go back there, but if they win their play off round is there anything to stop us drawing them again??

 

[London Irish]

I believe it's a no and a no (but my source is NSC so who knows)

 

[Brian Fantana]

Did the English teams not all win their groups anyway?

As far as the second question goes, unless they’ve changed the rules from last season then we can draw Marseilles again. USG played Union Berlin in the last 16 last season having been in the same group.

 

[Jaxie]

Can’t draw another team from the same country until the quarters, so no Liverpool or West Ham but could get Rangers.
Nothing to stop us getting Marseille again.

Is it PotG?

Is it PotG?

Of course it is . . . More tea?

Rangers would be great . . . Have we ever played in Scotland before? Competitively not Shirley? Personally I get on with the language better in France

That's very silly that. I'm glad we can't draw an English team. I wouldn't want the journey to end on a wet night at the Olympic Park

Rangers won their group so we can’t get them.

Even if the country rule wasn't a thing, the group winners are seeded so we could play them anyway.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Getting Marseille again would be dire. Firstly, well we've already played them. Twice. Secondly they are a decent team and would feel pretty nervous about playing them again

 

[Bozza]

All group winners are seeded, so we can't play any of:

West Ham
Rangers
Atalanta
Liverpool
Villareal
Slavia Prague
Bayer Leverkusen

From a travel point of view, I’d love to get Toulouse or Rennes - did I read that we can’t draw USG because of co-ownership? And yes, I’d be happy to go back to OM

We could play them… if they were still in the same competition.

 

[North of Robertsbridge]

Ah right, they were behind Toulouse. Academic then

Careful what you wish for. Their fans can be horrible.

Been to Rennes. Great ground, but small

 

[North of Robertsbridge]

I’ve driven past the Rennes ground on the way to Brittany, so I know I could drive down there in time for an evening kick-off

 

[The Wookiee]

Are we through to the next round?

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Maybe so, but their centre forward can't play against us. Mind you not sure if Sima could play for us against them either. Is he Cup tied for Rangers?
