Christian · Aug 9, 2013

That's decent, all the teams were all more or less on the same level, maybe except Pacos. It's nice that we have last leg at home as well.

Arsenal, Lyon, Milan and Schalke 04 all have to win to keep gobbi in pot-3. I'm rooting for that to happen.

Hope Milan will come to Romania this year

Mario · Aug 9, 2013

Not bad. Thank God we didn't get Fenerbache they would be the trickiest opponent..
PSV were very strong last season, but they lost Strootman, Mertens and Lens, but they've brought in Maher.
Their defense is pretty weak and unexperienced, hope Balotelli will be available.

Plzen did really well in Europa League last season... they might do the same this year :devil:

... and then Milan in the group stage! :devilpim:

Lucky draw...you should beat PSV with ease. I would love to change opposition with your lot. We have a nightmare draw. Over the last few years our biggest weakness has been every big strong athletic black striker we come up against make us his bitch. Now we face Sow and Eminike :cry:

Haha, this is a good point

PSV fans are to normal and respectful (So far!)...

Once Milan fans go to turkey....they are gonna wish the opposition was normal and respectful. Last time we went to Turkey several Arsenal fans were assaulted. Turkish teams really have disgusting fans.....another reason why I dont want to play them

acmilan4ever · Aug 9, 2013

I went for a Arsenal vs Fenerbache UCL match about 5 years ago, their 8k or so travelling fans were louder than most of the Arsenal faithful and their fans were also nasty, throwing stuff at stewards causing trouble. Match ended 0-0 and I believe I was the only one there in a Milan jersey :cool:

What's the situation with Fenerbache ban? If they knock you out and get a ban on 29-th you still get to group stage?

We had problems in Turkey also 2005 ... but those were Liverpool fans. Don't remember if we had any prroblems after Sheva poker.

The guy making the draw said that Fenerbache and Metalist were still under investigation; are you sure the game will be played before the final decision?

I think I saw on Uefa site before that the decision arrives August 29(right after play-offs and before the group stage draw). Now, there's no date but just this

* The participation of Fenerbahçe SK and FC Metalist Kharkiv in the competition is subject to pending disciplinary and CAS proceedings.

I would guess they will play the matches just like previous prelims and find out their fate after that. Let's see how things proceed.

KujaIX · Aug 9, 2013

To kick them out after would be silly, imo.

Fenerbahce are awaiting a final ruling from the court of arbitration for sport (Cas) over whether they will be allowed to go into the competition proper this season, having been banned from competing in Europe by Uefa for match-fixing in domestic competition.

They have challenged that ruling and a Cas verdict is due before the group stage draw is made, but home and away matches against Arsenal stand to go ahead before that decision arrives. Uefa on Friday said no decision has yet been made regarding what would happen in the event of Fenerbahce winning the tie and losing their Cas appeal.

Fenerbahce finished second in the Turkish Super Lig last season.

In short, Arsenal could lose the tie and still possibly make it to the Draw provided Fener get kicked out.

I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong, Uefa banned them, but Fenerbache got a victory in CAS to let them play. Uefa then let them in while handing in a protest to the next level in CAS.
