Crvena Zvezda… Sounds like a hot Eastern European model. 
So, they’re going to Belarus, Deutschland and Serbia. Serves those fuckers right for being so shit last season. 
Two shit teams, with two long trips 
.
Group E and L look great.
Been to Köln twice around Christmas time, it’s a very pleasant city if anyone is thinking of an away day

Red Star Belgrade. Fuck me, our away end is going to get absolutely trashed.
It’ll be a sight to see though.

Better draw than expected. Bate will probably be a shit fest away, Köln will be entertaining and Red Star a great atmosphere in Belgrade. Nothing too challenging but decent enough.

It means Red Star.
The club of the communist party during communism, the Serbian equivalent of CSKA Moscow/Sofia etc.
Btw if anyone is wondering what CSKA stands for - it literally means the club of the army.

red star belgrade huh, who fancies being murdered trying to watch their team :cech:
Belgrade was actually a much better city to visit than I was expecting it to be. Dirt cheap too.
It’s a beautiful city and very enjoyable in spring. I’d take my running shoes with me though if watching one of the teams.

Bate, Koln and Cvezdza…
That as well as our performances against Stoke and Leicester should be enough to be a dampener.
6 pm kick off times on a Thursday night… nope I’m not feeling that at all

Why do people act like Europa is beneath Arsenal? We’ve won a single third rate uefa trophy in 70 years of European football. Winning it would be a great achievement, the best thing in a decade and a half…but no, let’s focus on scraping 4th so we can be humiliated in the CL again…
The difference between Spurs & Arsenal is that Spurs fans know they’re a banter club, Arsenal fans are utterly deluded and think they’re among the European elite.
