Copenhagen has a fairly decent team and won't be easy. Our goal should be to finish first so we can qualify directly to the Round of 16. Second place means we will need to play an extra round with the 3rd place teams from the Europa League group stage in order to make it to the Round of 16.

I must be the only one not super confident. Copenhagen is a good team, there are no guarantees we top this group by any means. Slovan as well, they managed a draw with Olympiakos over-night and they played most of the match with 10 men. I understand the attitude "if we can't get through this group in this competition then pack up shop" but I don't think it's that simple. Need to give the other teams credit and respect, we aren't Liverpool. My prediction we go through in 2nd place and play the round of 32/preliminary qualifying round against a Europa League opponent.

Draw results: GROUP F FC Copenhagen (Denmark) PAOK FC (Greece) SK Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia) Lincoln Red Imps FC (Gibraltar) Not bad at all.

They won actually. And this goal was unmissable. His teammate had two opponents that went after him and Taxi was left alone and had no difficulties scoring the goal.

A decent draw. Really there were only 2 teams to avoid 100% and they are Tottenham and Roma and I suppose all Dutch teams ha ha. It will come down to form and injuries and simply the game on the day. The teams in the group are fairly even for the most part. A guy from my work who is a Rennes fan would love to play PAOK. I have converted him after showing him clips of Toumba. He is not happy with their group. Easily the toughest group. To put it in perspective Rennes have spent 65 million so far on transfers and we have spent … 300K. Yes he likes to make fun of me. if you want to have a laugh go and look at the team value for the Lincoln Red Imps. To laugh some more check how much they’ve spent on transfers in their entire history. Anyway I guess we’ll see how good (or not) we are in the coming months. Definitely qualification from the group is the goal but it’s not a given. We’ll need to be ready or we’ll get a lesson.

You m@laka who told you to keep drinking whiskey? ?

Αν δεν περάσεις στους 16 του Κόνφερενς τότε το μαγάζι το κλείνεις. Απλά και όμορφα.

A shame that El Kaddouri could be out for a while. But entirely in keeping with my expectations of him!

Fountas scored again today! Rapid Wien lost the game but are through to the Europa league.
