[Football] Europa League Play offs - Second Leg

[Easy 10]

Ok so coverage starts at 11am GMT, but what time will the draw ACTUALLY be made ? Will we have an hour of guff first ? I've got to drop the doris off at Tesco for the weekly shop, so timing is absolutely VITAL

Nor Marseille.

I hope we avoid Liverpool though.

I look forward to doing my turning up at the wrong ground schtick for a team we aren’t even playing… a whole new dimension of material

Yeah, 30min max.

It's all quite low key. Club reps aren't there. They get on with it.

According to Naylor earlier PBOBE is in Switzerland for the draw.

This is ridiculous. We are all grown up men (and women), forget the adult bit, and here we are hoping and planning where and how to get to eight different destinations in Europe on the same day. Great fun though, eh!

P.S. I’m putting my money on us getting Freiburg. Car from Calais (8 hours), flights to Strasbourg or Zurich close by. Train from St.Pancras is incredibly expensive. Hot air balloon possibly.

Oh really? I saw some of last season's draw, and it looked like a studio with no guests.

Perhaps they've changed format. Bit tough on the CEOs who have just qualified tonight.

Anyway, show is 30min in schedule, so definitely done by 11.30.

No one gives a shit whether or not you've had an easy ride, you either win it or you don't. When you look back at who's won each cup, you just see the winner, you don't go 'oh well in 2019 Liverpool had an easy run' (no idea whether they did or not, which is kinda the point).

So I'll take an easier draw please.

I'll agree with your explanation, no one wants to be drawn against us.....so I've read

Basel airport serves Freiburg. Hence it being named EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg.

Seven different destinations, with one of them in two different days. Just to be complicated.

I was in Freiburg this time last year, wonderful city. Basel airport is the closest. Strange little airport though, the buildings are in France but immigration was to Switzerland and then you get straight on a train to Germany.

Stab City it is

They tend to go for the thigh in Italy, so I'm going to wear short shorts to give easy access for the paramedics.

I was going to say “a cut above the rest”, but that’s probably deemed in bad taste.

 

[pasty]

It will be Roma. I’ve got a 3 night city break booked there with Mrs P in April

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Just tell her you’re going early to avoid traffic problems

My prefered destination . . . .nice drive in the Alfa, and a rudimentary grasp of the lingo.

Can we draw Marseille again this round? I know they are through but is there something in place where you can't play the same team from your group in the immediate next round?

 

[Justice]

Mrs P still thinks I’m joking when I say it’s boys only trip

Funny isn’t it, us men are almost relieved if the wife goes a way for a few days with the girls for a spa weekend or whatever. The other way round and it’s like we’ve already shagged another bird before we’ve got to the destination

We can't play them until the final. Clause B0110.KS in the UEFA guidelines.
