THE CHAMPIONS!!!


Yes, it's that time of year again, when noted small-time clubs like Manchester United get to attempt to play their way into the greatest football competition on Earth. Two legs, two weeks, for the chance to back your way into the Europa League knockout stage and earn a whole lot of money in the process.

Here's the draw for this year's playoffs:



Again, like the title said, do not adjust your monitor--a club from Albania is right on the doorstep of the Champions League group stage. There's also very tasty draws elsewhere, like Celtic-Malmo (two teams with great European Cup histories, both past and present, playing arguably the biggest matches of their seasons), Lazio-Bayer (where it's easy to hate both clubs, one for being fascist and the other for being plastic), Man Utd-Club Brugge (where'd the Belge go? He'd love this), and a number of ties that (on paper at least) guarantee great football for the neutral.

Also starting this Thursday, for the bored/unemployed/Polish amongst us, is the Europa League playoffs!



Usually these are a ton of fun, so why not load up a Russian stream (aren't they all) and watch some football?

Bench: Johnstone, Schweinsteiger, Valencia, Herrera, Young, Chicharito, Fellaini


Pretty much as predicted.

Astana won an untidy match played on a plastic pitch 1-0 but the goal was really good.
