Qarabag have to beat Fiorentina to go through. The rest of the long-away-in-stan teams are out apart from Krasnodar and Zenit (who we can not meet as we are seeded).

If they do, they could top the group and we could draw Fiorentina. Seems ages since we last played them....oh hang on

Rostov would be another possible long trek. Qarabag lost so thankfully that is no longer an option.

How come some EL games are now played Wednesdays, all of a sudden? Has it got something to do with Manure being in the competition, perhaps?

No, it's to do with teams close(ish) to each both having home games and therefore playing on different days.
 
The Schalke game was moved for security reasons. Tomorrow is Weiberfastnacht which is an unofficial holday in the Rhineland with widespread celebrations. There have been previous problems between supporters of the two teams and it appears police were concerned they would be overstretched if the match took place on Thursday.
 
Wow....Broussia Muchengladbach (?) Go 3-0 down on aggregate away from home at Fiorentina and only win it 4-3 after 90mins....take a bow.
 
I wasn't fully watching, but it seemed a big dive from Celta Vigo to get a penalty to qualify... he was going down as the keeper got there.

Also, what happens if Genk Get Gent?

definitely one of those parallel universe conundrums
 
Being knocked-out even more annoying seeing Zenit, Shaktar, Bilbao, Fiorentina all departed last night as well.

Although the amount of help we would need (judging on this years campaign) to win the bloody thing would be unreasonable
