Europa League 2014-15 Round of 32 draw

[Kendall]

That fucker Gomez who couldn't score against Chelsea in the ECL Final.
What's the story on him? Only 18 appearances and 4 goals since 2013?

Never rated him.

I wish I could travel to Florence but my dad won't let me.

I love the cups-all of them. I reckon we can win one this year.

Given the batterings our fans have been subjected to on euro away trips recently, on a scale of 1 to 10, how dangerous is this? Would love to take the missus on this one but don't fancy getting caught up in anything. She'll be fine, especially if it's that time of month but I'm worried for me!

The Fiorentina fans should be fine but the police round there can be a bit full-on. If you go i'd try and keep away from other groups of fans as much as possible to avoid attracting any police attention.

Oh, and don't eat on the Ponte Vecchio. Soooo overpriced!

Started well but has had awful luck with injuries.

If they were guaranteed not to win it, I'd have them go all the way to the final. The more distractions, the better.

Nice draw, looking forward to the games.

With the current crop of misfits we'll get battered.

I don't think so.

Haven't seen Italian football in a while. We still need to watch out for Batistuta and Rui Costa?

You might get surprised by James Richardson and a giant cake.
Or possibly Gazza with a giant Easter Egg.

is Ryanair landing anywhere near? Or easyjet?

 

[TEESSIDE1]

I don't think so.

Fiorentina are a very good side and have some quality players. We on the other hand have had to fight for our victories this season and have only comfortably beaten QPR and Brighton.

 

[nightgoat]

Unsurprisingly the media coverage of the EL draw is all about Liverpool. You'd be forgiven for thinking us and Everton weren't in it any more.

Pisa? Landed there when I went to Tuscany before.

You could use all of BA, Ryanair, Easyjet, Flybe (from Birmingham) & Cityjet (from London City), too. The closest airport is Peretola, but the most frequently used is Pisa (served from several British airports), with both train & bus connections directly from the airport to central Florence. You can use Bologna as well, but it is not as ideal as Pisa.

Cheers, need flights from Zurich, Basle, Stuttgart or Straßbourg as I am living in South Germany. But maybe need an adiitional flight to London to see our epic win in the Capital One Cup

I just looked and could ok price for Gatwick to Pisa Tuesday to Friday to make a decent mid week break.

I bet your other half would not decline all this

The Historic Centre of Florence attracts millions of tourists each year, and Euromonitor International ranked the city as the world's 89th most visited in 2012, with 1.8 million visitors.[6] It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. The city is noted for its culture, Renaissance art and architecture and monuments.[7] The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti, and still exerts an influence in the fields of art, culture and politics.[8] Due to Florence's artistic and architectural heritage, it has been ranked by Forbes as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.[9]

Florence is an important city in Italian fashion,[8] being ranked in the top 50 fashion capitals of the world;[10] furthermore, it is a major national economic centre,[8] as a tourist and industrial hub. In 2008, the city had the 17th highest average income in Italy.[11]

Yeah, then add the below in small print

The Stadio Artemio Franchi nicknamed "Comunale." When it was first constructed, it was known as the Stadio Giovanni Berta.
The architecture is built entirely of reinforced concrete with a 70 meter (230 ft) tower that bears the stadium's flagstaff. The tower is called the "Tower of Marathon". Around the base of the tower, spiral ramps lead from the ground floor to the upper edge of the grandstand.
The architecture was originally called the "Comunale" but was renamed after the former FIGC president, Artemo Franchi, in 1991.
The architect is Pier Luigi Nervi (known for the Nervi Hall in the Vatican) and it is one of the most relevant examples of 20th-century architecture in the city. 47,282 come to visit this spectacular building every weekend, including Thursday nights
