    In all the frenzy of the deadline day we seem to have forgotten that the draw for the europa league is on at 12 o clock today.
    we're in pot 1 but could possibly get a night mare group of...
    Tottenham
    Athletico Bilbao
    SS Lazio
    FC Anzhi
    But at the end of the day do we really care?

    A great competition for fringe players and youngsters.

    I would love to see a few big names in our group. A big glamour tie would hopefully push the lads on and get them raring to go!

    Would love a nice big tie in the groups. A nice Thursday night trip to the lane under the lights. Magic :)

    It will be interesting to see how much preference AVB gives the Europa League. I'd kind of like us to actually go for it this year. Would be great to win it. Either way, some of the fringe players will get some game time.

    IMO AVB will want to do well in it, I hope we play strong sides and go all the way

    His Porto team were super in it, that must have been a plus in his cv when he was being hired, so let's hope he goes for it.

    Watching tony parks on sky telly today reminded me of watching us beat anderlecht in 84 ... Glory glory night indeed

    Gonna be tough to progress in the Europa League and Premier League without more than two first team strikers, particularly as we've shipped goalscorer Vdv..

    Kane to lead the line?
