[Albion] The Europa League 23-24 Round of 16 Draw OFFICIAL THREAD

[Pinkie Brown]

Quite a big detour if you made it to the Parthenon

Detouring by York Place to see St Peters would have been quite straightforward for him though. Swings and roundabouts.

Fantastically pleased, as Roma were my first choice. No way for me to attend the away leg, but I'll be sitting in the front row right behind RDZ and the boys on March 14.

As tough as they come but we shouldn't fear anyone apart from Liverpool

Lucky folk getting cheapos; £400 return from Bristol. Easyjet 'changed inventory' (aka shoved price up) between choosing flights and paying.

Probably going to be crappy bus service to and from stadium with a bit of tear gas while we wait to leave. Anyone any views on whether and how to DIY to and from stadium?

Had a look on Google for the Roma forum to see what they made of drawing us:

Leverkusen? Not lost for 32 games.

Behind AC Milan that's just about as good as it could have got. Another proper big European name in an amazing city.

Rangers won’t beat Benfica

RDZ will be delighted.....I am envious of those who will be going

And let's not fear them either given our recent record against them

Buzzing.

Roma 6th in Serie A. Lukaku top scorer.

I watched their extra time against Feyernord last night. They looked decent ish but not massive cutting edge. Keeper looed very good in the penalties. But we can do this.

We missed the chance to see Belotti at the Amex as they loaned him out

RB Salzburg (my local team) played Roma in the knockout round last year. Won 1-0 at home, but lost 0-2 away. The two best Roma players at the game in Salzburg were Tammy Abraham (now injured) and Smalling (on the bench yesterday).

Certainly a winnable game for Brighton.

JPVH/Dunk v Lukaku is a good match up for us. He's not that tricky.

You're getting on minerva-s

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Dream draw!! So happy!

The Europa League draws couldn't have gone better so far!

 

[Deadly Danson]

Suddenly a bit emotional. Roma. We are playing Roma. In ROME!! Flights and hotel booked.
I was watching highlights of us beating Aldershot yesterday. Ridiculous.

 

[B-right-on]

Didn't realise they sacked Mourinho a month ago and De Rossi is manager

 

[brighton_tom]

It’ll be tough, we might make it through, we might not, but two more memorable nights of football for us! Who could have dreamt of this when back during the Withdean/Gillingham years…
