Makes a change. The draws we've had last few years - city x2 , Utd , Liverpool , Villa (a).Have we just hired Southgate?

A Jose Mourinho reunion.
Thinking about this a bit more. I wonder if UEFA would be happy with a Tuesday game. Could work out nicely for us. We don’t play the weekend before as out of the FA cup. Previous game the Wednesday before, Emirates Marketing Project, then we play Bournemouth on the Sunday. Would nicely spread the games out.Wonder if they will switch the H/A legs round on one of the ties. Can’t see them wanting Frankfurt and spurs fans potentially in Amsterdam at the same time even if they moved one to Wednesday.
I've heard that rumoured.I'd take it!

Stadiums seem to be 35kms apart as the crow flys.

Good test of our mental fortitude here.
Say we had a CL group of Ajax, Lazio and AZ we’d be confident of beating them all.
However will we freeze when it’s nearing the business end of a competition? Chance for us to mature as a team here — give 100% every match and not crap our pants and we could win this.

Not sure uefa thought this through.
I wouldn't be confident of this team beating anyone. We've lost to pretty much all of the good teams we've played so far this seasonGood test of our mental fortitude here.
