Shouldn't be looking at any of those teams and thinking "I want to avoid" in terms of quality. My preference will just be for teams that are closest to home.

I'll let you have Mainz.  United, AZ, Mainz and Dundalk would do nicely. |

Dundalk would be nice for many supporters! A reason for Alkmaar?
Liege would be nice as well, could easily be at the away game like Mainz.

I have roughly 100km to Mainz ;-)
Genk or Liege from Pot 2 would also be close for me, with approx. 230 km.

Shite draw. Trips to Turkey and Ukraine aren't desirable!

Meh.. trips to Turkey and Ukraine. Tricky group with RVP facing two of his former clubs, we should still be beating all those though.

 Tough group for Soton as well. |

I see no team that should stop us from winning the competition and I don't expect one coming down from the CL to be better than us. I wouldn't care if Mourinho gives the youngsters a go here and then wait and see how far they can go...
