The bulk of the matches come tomorrow. I'd be surprised if there weren't a few shock results between now and the draw for the group stages.

A few shock results in the Champions League. Anderlecht, BATE Borisov, Fenerbahce, Olympiakos, Shakhtar Donetsk and Sparta Prague, all UCL regulars, dropping down to the Europa League. There are only 3 teams in the Champions League play-off round with a lower co-efficient than us

MELTDOWN

Big feature on South Today for their upcoming hopes. The fans basically saying 'this year is their year', the players want to do it for the passionate fans of the biggest club outside of London, the same old Portsmyths.

Admira Wacker are losing at the moment and are 4-1 down on aggregate with 45 minutes left but if you were hoping for a trip to Vienna then fear not, there are still 2 other teams from the Austrian capital

Nobody fancying trips to Astana or the teams in the Caucuses? Or what about the 3 teams in Israel?

There's also Cork City and Aberdeen as well, who play on Thursday

We'll definitely want Dundalk to lose, their seeding is only 2.590

Wow, Irish side Dundalk are winning 3-0 tonight, so they are guaranteed, at minimum, the group stages of the Europa League.

On the French wikipedia, it says he played left back for Nice

Plymouth and Accrington should be up there. Clubs who get promoted from the Conference always get a bit of momentum so Cheltenham I reckon, plus Crewe are always a yo-yo club between Leagues 1 and 2, plus a surprise team (Newport perhaps? ) I am hopeful for more laughs along the way. They are the gift that keeps on giving.

Looks like the deal will be announced imminently, if the Saints twitter is anything to go by.

Done deal then

Club are streaming it live on youtube

A shame the striped options didn't get picked.

Arnautovic has just signed a new 4 year contract with Stoke.

The league clubs have to play a certain number of first team players

There are a handful of Celtic fans who have travelled to Astana for their match tomorrow! I wonder how many we would take.

The only reason the bigger teams turned down the invitation was because it clashed with international U21 fixtures that had already been arranged. Not sure about the other teams but Man City said they would've taken part otherwise.

The draw for this takes place tomorrow at 10am https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016%E2%80%9317_EFL_Trophy All the teams will be confirmed tomorrow at 9.30am

Prediction: We will comfortably finish higher than Everton. Again.

Fraser rates Dave highly or Dave rates Fraser highly?

I think that last season our coefficient would've seen us in Pot 3. Not sure about the ones before that though.
