Not sure if this would be better asked in the Tickets/Travel thread but will throw it up here first.

So I have never been to a European game home or away. What exactly is the process on how they release these tickets?

My 45 euro membership this year got me a grand total of 4 hours queuing on the LFC website and 0 tickets so in that regard its pretty worthless.

Have I any chance or what would be the best recommendation?

Same as member sale in July but with a lot less tickets. It was on sale for months for season ticket holders and members who had a certain amount of games from pervious European games but did not sell out.

Yea we do And the team who finished 4th gets the europa league spot.

In 2012 chelsea won it and finished 6th when spurs finished 4th. Spurs missed out.

Absolutely. A European Cup trumps 4th place any day of the week, for me it even trumps winning the league.

In that case, yes. Especially if United come fourth.

Beating chelsea in the final with JT slipping to let sturridge through for a last minute winner.

If we qualify, from which group in the next round are we paired with?

We're not - it's a draw. We could get any other non-English team.

open draw but the good thing about being in the group with real is we cant face them in the last 16 or an english team I think.

4 competitive wins in a row for Spurs. Some of their mis-firing players from last year looking decent so far. They haven't been playing the best of opposition admittedly, but I'd preferred not to see them playing so well.

the post-Europa League hangover should put an end to that run soon

People on Facebook worried about Spurs after beating a team 3-0.

Jumping the gun too much?

I think people are worried because Spurs are a very good team. Bit stupid to think otherwise tbh.

Of the two it was definitely Robinson who I thought the most talented and more likely to make it.

CL would be amazing to win, but winning the league would definitely trump it for me without a shadow of a doubt.

Also means we will meet a group winner which isnt ideal but cant be expecting to top the group.

Robinson was considered the more cultured footballer, shows you how things can work out.

Well they should be better than last season but they've played West Ham, QPR and Limassol.

If that was our fixtures I would be expecting 3 wins as well.

Charlie19

It will be very interesting to see how BR puts out the team in the CL as it will be a big test going away to Madrid, Basle and that other team, It will certainly trump a windy, damp evening in stoke.

Realistically we dont have much chance of winning the CL so I personally ain't going to hold much hope in us doing so and just enjoy the games up until we're knocked out. If We're unlucky with injuries and our squad was a bit thin, I would probably prefer us to field our strongest side in the PL and just try and sustain our top four position.

Speak Now

Play for every point going, get out of the group. Try getting our seeding back to pot 2 if we're in it next season.

It's not the fact that they are winning games. Three games means nothing, win or lose them. It's the fact that they are playing nice football and actually scoring goals. They did neither last year despite having a good team.

If Pochettino can get them performing like this every week, they have an outside shot at top 4.

Spurs isn't going to be a rollover like last season. One team has finally seemingly gelled while one is going through teething problems. I'd take a draw tbh.

Or, alternatively, both teams have played a grand total of 2 matches in the PL this year - one has won 50% of these, the solitary defeat coming against last year's champions away. The other team has a 100% record having faced QPR and West Ham.

I never get to go to games, saw the draw today and the fixture dates, realised flights were still dirt cheap and decided "feck it". Might try get to a home CL fixture too.

Can't wait!

Jack must have set some kind of record being registered with 3 different teams in one day Liverpool, QPR & then Huddersfeild.

spurs are gonna be very tricky this season. they will fly out of the blocks early on and try and stifle teams. We need to make sure to match them for grit and determination then make sure our quality shines through, and the same goes for every game this season.

Think I might have read your story on here alright. Also read another one where a local father and son in the pub heard about the fake tout ticket and gave their (real) tickets away...!

Must have a gander at some sample print Champions League ones. I imagine they're centrally printed and reasonably secure yokes, like the ones for other UEFA games. Hopefully.

Completely agree with your post and Kirby's. They're playing nice stuff and players are performing under Pochettino. Can't say I'm surprised. If Rodgers had done a runner this summer, Pochettino is definitely the man I would've wanted to come in. He works well and gets the most out of players.

Even though they had easy opposition for the three games, not conceding a single goal is still reasonably impressive and they won't be any pushover this weekend. I'd love a win. Sets down a real marker for top 4. To be honest, this is the kind of game I would've preferred a few weeks down the road - we're still finding our feet, and this'll be a real test.
