Wouldn't bloody surprise me! BT Sport can probably insist on us being on at a different time to Liverpool Man U (Liverpool were on at 6pm last night) and would put them on later as they're likely to get more viewers for that piece of shit game. Fuck knows how I'm getting to White Hart Lane for 6pm. I sense a migraine coming on at about lunchtime on the day of the match...

I think every single neutral in the country would rather watch our tie that Liverpool v Man Utd

Unfortunately there are a lot of Liverpool and Man U fans and I'm not sure how many neutrals would bother with the Europa league especially with it being on BT Sport.

It's true the Spurs twitter confirmed first leg 6pm and second leg 8.05pm as kick offs. Now to keep an eye out for ticket news!

I've always liked Dortmund, fantastic support (like unreal support).

This is a great tie, with two teams very much on the go.

Literally cannot wait, although I was hoping for an easier draw, as soon as this happened, found myself pretty happy with it.

Was on a train that was packed with Dortmund supporters a couple of years ago. Very lively and great fans. It was hilarious when the train went through Leverkusen and they were chanting 'losers' with their German accents.

Great to see them talking about us with such respect and admiration.

Shows how far we've come this season.

Interesting that they play Bayern before our game. Doesn't give them much chance to rest players.

Good to see that both teams are in the same boat in that regard. Just makes it even more fascinating.

We've just had three games moved to Monday night on Sky around the time of the quarter and semi finals so that'll help us a lot if we get through the Dortmund game.

Actually, it will make it worse if we get to the semi final

This is a great tie imo; will be a nice litmus test against quality European opposition before our champions league exploits next season

I can guarantee you the Dortmund set-up let out a collective "oh FFS" in German.

A few people writing us off, which is win/win, in my opinion:

Bet one of his ripe turds is vacuum sealed and packaged and on it's way to that stinking ref's house - express delivery.

Have the TV companies suddenly been kind to us ? A load of fixtures moved to Monday night, all after a Europa Cup tie (should we progress) Thurs - Mon schedule seems workable?

There is of course the downside of always playing catch up in the league.

Click to expand...

I think something like that would affect us in the past; now I think we get completely focused on the game in front of us and just deal with it professional, in isolation.

It's incredible mental discipline acquired in almost no time at all.

Amazing.

Absolutely right...and I say that as someone who has been very critical of the tournament in the past.

Funny how the quality in the Europa League seems to be so much higher now that they've given a Champions League place to the winner. Possibly completely coincidental but it does feel like a better competition this year.
