Tough Tie For Aston Villa

The draw has just been completed for the final qualifying round of the Europa League and all the English clubs will be happy with their draw apart from Aston Villa.  Even though they should qualify, Martin O'Neills men would have preferred an easier tie than Rapid Vienna of Austria.
Liverpool head to Turkey for their tie, they have been drawn against Trabzonspor while Manchester City head to Romania and take on FC Timisoara.


The Scottish clubs in the draw didnt fair as well as their English counterparts.  Celtic who were eliminated from the Champions League on Wednesday haveto go to Holland and face FC Utrecht while Motherwell have a date with AEK Athens.


Britain also have a Welsh club and they will not be dancing in the streets of The New Saints today as they have been dealt the tougest tie of the lot, Bulgarian outfit CSKA Sofia.


The English clubs should all make it to the group stages of the competition but will Scotland and Wales be flying the flag for Britain, it'll be tough and all I'll do is wish them the best of luck, there going to need it!!!!


Spanish side Villareal have been handed a tie against Turkish side Fenerbache but this could change. Mallorca had qualified for the Europa League but due to financial problems they couldnt get a UEFA Licence so Villareal took their place in the competition.  Mallorca have appealed this and should find out soon so until this is known Fenerbache won't know who they are playing.
