Spurs have done well out of that, the first six teams there could all have easily gone through themselves. Kiev vs Ajax is the kind of tie you expect in a quarter-final!

Europa draw should be up soon...
 
Looks good for Spurs, I don't think this is a Villareal/Everton situation. Cool to see another London side in it.

Either Kiev or Ajax will be knocked out, as will Bremen or Sampdoria who have got some good players.

Perhaps makes the UEFA Cup that little bit harder.
 
Now or never for Italian teams then. We need to overhaul a 4.432 point deficit to regain third place in the co-efficients from Germany which means we need to dominate both competitions and see German sides flung out of them both early on. Direct points like this need to be taken but as good as Sampdoria's players are, Werder Bremen should have enough experience to squeeze through and even if Bremen get dropped into the Europa, they'll get to the latter stages for sure.

Pinning my hopes on Young Boys - oh dear. Braga-Sevilla is such a shame. Braga deserve to reach the group stage and could spring a surprise but it couldn't have been any tougher for them.

Hopefully Zenit will see off Auxerre too.
 
Bahhh lucky Spuds...got an easy ride into the group stages although i can only hope that the young boys pull off a win:p.
 
Spurs fans fancied young boys before the draw tbf

OOOOHHHHHH

Oo-er: Rapid Vienna-Aston Villa again. A repeat of last season would be nice.

Much better for the Italian sides in the Europa draw. Hardest for Napoli but they've no excuses not to qualify.
 
LIVERPOOL v Trabzonspor
CELTIC v Utrecht
DUNDEE UNITED v AEK Athens
Rapid Vienna v ASTON VILLA
CSKA Sofia v TNS
Odense v MOTHERWELL
Timisoara v MANCHESTER CITY

Tough one for Villa, and Motherwell have done well for an unseeded team.
 
Does this look accurate?

More than ever Real Madrid are the big fish to avoid in Pot 2 this season, S'gonna get a bit hairy when the groups are drawn...
 
what's going to happen is Arsenal will draw Shakhtar, Anderlecht & FC Twente

and Spurs will draw Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Spartak Moscow in a group to be labelled THE GROUP OF DEATHHHHHHH :D

In terms of "search bar terms I've immediately deleted after loading to avoid suspicion at work", I think "young boys" has just edged out googling for the camping store Blacks, in today's race.
