Europa League 2019/20

If you thought our trip to Astana was bad, spare a thought for Copenhagen having to go all the way to Malmö.
 
It's profile might have grown over the last few years, but the point remains; the Europa League is a horrible, horrible competition.
It's the format that's horrible. Just make it straight knock out, back in the day UEFA Cup style.
 
Vitoria-Arsenal :drool:

Atmosphere will be great, will try to get a ticket.

Alkmaar, that's a lot better for travel purposes although their stadium roof did blow off the other day...
 
Interesting Celtic got Cluj since Cluj put them out of qualifying for the CL.
 
The match vs AZ will be played in The Hague
