Let's hope Richy if fit for one of them, any of them.

See, this is why I prefer the Europa League, you get far more interesting ties. Roma, Rangers and Galatasaray are top tier, old school European fixtures.

Were the pots seeded? I'm just wondering if we managed to get top or second top seed from every group, because that's what it looks like.

They were but each team plays two teams from each of the four pots regardless of which pot they themselves were in. And some teams have low seedings because of how rarely they've been in Europe.

We avoided Nice or Athletic from pot four so though Hoffenheim is a tough enough game the other two would've surely been worse.

Missus had said she'll take me to the Ferencvaros game in Budapest for my Christmas present if I want (once it's not too expensive and is one of the games after mid-October).
Just need to see what date the match ends up being on and figure out logistics and pricing. Never done this (euro away game) before so any helpful pointers would be gladly received (going from Dublin).
