UEFA Cup Draw
Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at 11:27AM GROUP D: TOTTENHAM, Spartak Moscow, Udinese, Dinamo Zagreb, NEC Nijmegen.
Top three go through. Much prefer our group than the ones Villa, Pompey and City got. Pompey have to deal with Milan and Villa will see themselves up against Martin Jol's Hamburg (odds on us playing Hamburg in a latter round?). I actually fancy them (the Germans), Milan or Liege to win it this season. Although Sevilla can't be discounted (odds on us playing them in a latter round?).
Anyways, not saying ours is an easy group, but it won't be too difficult if we wake up and start playing well. An on-form Spurs side (remember those days?) won't have trouble qualifying. The current 'form' Spurs side won't pick up more than 2 points (there's that number again).
Like the way the draw sees us up against Pav and Modric's former clubs. Not that Pav can play. All down to Campbell and Bent to lead us to glory.
Cough.
Also, if anyone can explain how the draw works, let me know.

Tough tough group for us. All dependent on the home and away fixture for the games. Not sure what I'd prefer at the moment because WHL is not exactly a fortress.
Love to play Hamburg if we get through. Imagine the reception Jol would get at the Lane?
