Champs league qualifier - a question

[David Hodgson]

Do we play the second leg at home, cos we're seeded ? Or is it decided by the draw ?

 

Interested from a purely personal point of view, due to holiday dates.

We played the second leg away last season so I very much doubt it's decided by being seeded. Must be the draw.

Could that have been influenced by the troubles in Israel at the time ? Cant remember myself.

[Ethan]

I think home/away is decided by the draw - I've found nothing online to tell me any different

Teams we don't want to have to travel to (as fans)

 

Sparta Praha

Fenerbahçe

Slavia Praha

Dinamo Zagreb

 

Unless you like hooligan football firms.

 

Zürich or Salzburg would be a good away trip.

 

Dinamo Bucharest would be a good team to play cough http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4241016.stm

Don't want to go to Prague or Zagreb? Are you mental?

2 great trips.

[yellow jumper]

wouldn't mind istanbul either. always a good time, despite it's reputation. circumstances would be different this time around i suppose.

Don't tell Croatian Red that. He'd beat the f*cking sh*t out of you.

I hope we get a place that's an utter s***hole as I can't go

[CarraLegend]

Hope we get one of

 

Dinamo Zagreb, Red Star, Fenerbache or AEK Athens. Be the best atmospheres at them ones.

 

Spartak Moscow would be a pain in the a*** although a chance to get to know the City before next May so thats a plus.

Sarajevo or Copenhagen for me, ta

Bravado aside, and from a totally footballing perspective, I think this is the most dangerous draw we have had in the qualifiers.

 

There are some significant banana skins in there. I don't ever recall seeing so many (half) decent sides in it, and mindful of the fact that we are still in pre-season. Usually its littered with cr*p and only one or 2 you'd want to avoid, seems like the other way round this year. We've had a charmed life with these draws in the past, and nothing would knock the b******s out of a season like going out here.

 

There. I am twitchy and pessimistic. The season has begun.

[McBain]

Now i get why Robbie turned down Rangers. We'd have been nailed on to get them if he'd gone there

 

Bless you God

Agree with that, especially the last bit.

Football is all about worrying and imagining the worst, surely.

Is the draw on now ?

They're going through the draw rules now, watching on Eurosport as Sky have decided to have an ad break
