UEFA Europa League 2018/19

[Baddar]

Piece of piss. 

[Lineker]

Tom Heaton is back.

[Baddar]

A 3-1 loss for Burnley in Greece. Gonna be a tough ask to turn it around.

[Adam]

Fair play for not conceding any goals in the last half hour with ten men. Olympiakos was always going to be an uphill task, no shame in going out to them if they do.

[Lineker]

Stevie G's nine-men Rangers make it through - just. Was convinced he was going to let that slip.

[Colly]

I don't get it.

[9 to 5]

What pot are Burnley in?

[FLiam]

Group E

I really want to draw Rangers. 

Oh, how shite this competition is. 

[Lineker]

Celtic in with Salzburg and Leipzeig (in Group B).

Arsenal in with Sporting Lisbon.

Chelsea in with PAOK (in Group L).

[stokeriño]

The fact that Chelsea are in Group L (i.e. that there are enough teams to require Groups that go up to L) is kind of depressing.

[Lineker]

Red Bull vs. Red Bull!

[Malenko]

Yes, but can they coexist?

Fuck sake

BATE Borisov into Chelsea's group.

[FLiam]

How is Red Bull vs Red Bull even allowed?

[Lineker]

Rosenborg round out Celtic's group. Celtic already overcame them in the Champions League qualifiers earlier this summer, funnily enough.

Rangers go into Group G along with Villarreal, Rapid Wien, and Spartak Moscow.

Vorskla (of Ukraine) round out Arsenal's group. That's a real couple of stinker away trips.

[FLiam]

Who on earth are Vorskla?
