Surely the draw will be postponed until Tottenham have played their game? 

Maybe they will prevent us from being drawn against that team in the draw, or they give Spurs a 2-0 loss for cancelling the match.

Can't get them in this next round or the round after. So earliest QF.

Happy days!

Because this is our life! 😆

 

Plus also ten million quid a year suggests you should probably either be aware of such things or at least have the ability to make a more reasoned answer. He was clearly upset, which is good, like to see that, so it's a good debate from both viewpoints. 👍

FANTASY: We're to good for this tinpot tournament with village teams from Norway in it!!

 

REALITY: We could play our strongest XI in every match and still wouldn't win this tournament which includes Roma, Marseille, Feyenoord and Basel

[tickler28]

Let's face it....we ain't ever winning the other 2 European trophies and it might be a stretch to suggest well win this one but its the best chance we're ever likely to get!!

 

We are a mess of a team right now but you never know....stranger things have happened

[ajthefox]

As much as I'd rather we were still in the Europa I think we have to take this seriously and try and win it. Its well worth it if it means we get Europa league football next year, which lets face it looks unlikely via the league.

Let's be honest, Rodgers just fancies taking the hard route to Champions League in 2024. Fool everyone into thinking we're sh*t, then go out and win the conference league and Europa in two consecutive seasons to qualify for the CL ! 

[NuneatonFox1]

7/1 favourites. Don’t make me laugh.

Win it 😂😂😂😂😂!!!..

Get real.

Admire your optimism but I wouldn't back us to beat anyone at the moment. Watch us perform Groundhog Day on Sunday against Newcastle.

Just hope we’ve got our shit together come Feb when this is back. Still fuming at Brendan’s comments. What an asshole.

out of interest what was so bad about what he said?

Of course he knows there is a Euro Conf cup but Like most things on this forum everything is taken literally.

 

 

Personally I thought it was his attempt at humour last night but was naive and foolish to say it

Hope we get Union Berlin or someone like that. I'd rather go out to them than a rubbish team from Slovakia. 

Union Berlin are out 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I had to stop watching the game at half time last night as it was my work Xmas do. So I’ve just woken up with a steaming hangover… and I see we are in this competition. Great.

 

[coolhandfox]

To be fair winning this or the LC cup are are most likely route back into Europe next season. 

[RonnieTodger]

I still cannot believe that Legia failed to bail us out with a 98th minute penalty  

 

Obviously it's our own fault, but that is so Leicester.

I know he would miss after I spent most of the home game taking the piss out of his mask when he was warming up as a sub in front of where I sit. 

The revenge of Zorro, Indeed.

To get a bit of excitement I have looked at our potential oppositions and flight options. Belgrade and Qarabag are a no go, Tel Aviv/PAOK not bad, Randers, Prague and Bodo decent.

 

The only thing with Bodo is that their ground is only made for 5,000 fans so we would get 300-400 tickets max. Ticket office will take 250 so probably 100 for the rest!

[KrefelderFox666]

My preference for an away day:

 

Randers or Slavia Prague (Bodo not due to ticket limits above)

 

My preference to progress:

 

Qarabag, maybe Tel Aviv or PAOK

 

Bodo would slaughter us on their astroturf in wintery conditions, Belgrade and Prague would bully us, Randers not sure, the atmosphere over there may disturb us.

 

In theory of course, we should beat any of those sides...

[KFS]

I’d love it if we slapped Slavia along the way but they’re basically Czech West Ham and we all know how our pussboi team reacts to that type of playing style.

I said try and win it. I don't think we will, but I'll be more disappointed if we don't give it a good shot.

[Mickyblueeyes]

If we win this does it mean we EL next year regardless of our league position ? 
 

if it does, we have to take this and Carabao cup seriously. Europe for progress is important for this club.

Carabao only gets you into the Conference Leage now doesn't it?

Ah, not sure. conference league as priority then. 
 

We need to establish a foot print. Top and late Vichai’s aim before him was to establish this club as a European club. Not a heavyweight but a team which holds respect in such competitions. Despite what Rodgers says, I doubt Top has ever thought EL is overachievement.
