The Europa League

not the worst draw in the world. Might head over for it

 

at home first

 

im happy that we didnt get trabzonspor and that we're home in the first leg
good draw but take nothing for granted

 

Utrecht was the one team there I didnt want. think we should win though it will be very very tough.

 

We need to win the home leg at least 2-0, don't fancy going there with any less.

 

They got fast, tricky and pacey strikers. Also their def is very solid, they will be waiting for counter attacks.

 

Dundee vs AEK


* ? poor Dundee ^^

 

dont know much about them but i think it's the best we could get

i'm still worried though

no ones easy for us the way we are playing

 

Don't know much about Utrecht so won't be underestimating them at all, anyone know what they're like?

 

Should be a good game, is that the mob Jimmy Calderwood's associated with?

 

dundee utd vs aek athens

 

Finished 7th in their league last season. Haven't got an amazing squad but have van Wolfswinkel that we were after last season, also Lensky who was in our Youth Team.

 

What are the dates for the games? Or have they been announced yet?

 

Prob the best draw they could have hoped for in that wee group

FC Utrecht came into being as a merger of three clubs from the city of Utrecht: DOS, Elinkwijk and Velox.
It featured in the UEFA Cup in the 1980s several times but suffered a downturn in fortunes after 1991 and had to wait for a further ten years to play European football again.
DOS won the national championship in 1958. FC Utrecht has won the KNVB Cup three times: in 1985, 2003 and 2004. In 2004 FC Utrecht won the Johan Cruijff Shield. FC Utrecht was the first club outside the traditional top three Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV to win this Trophy. FC Utrecht is also the only club outside the traditional top three that has never relegated out of the Dutch Eredivisie. Partly the cause of this may be the relatively late founding, but it has to be noted that every other team, apart from the traditional top three, currently in the Eredivisie has relegated at least once since the founding of FC Utrecht.
Its stadium is the Stadion Galgenwaard having been previously first named Galgenwaard and later Nieuw Galgenwaard with a current capacity of 24,426 spectators. The average attendance in 2004/05 was 19,600 people. In the season 2006/07 the average attendance has risen to 20,004 people. The club's colours are red and white.
Ton du Chatinier is the current manager with Jan Wouters as his assistant. Foeke Booy, the previous manager who led the team to two cup titles and a Johan Cruijff Shield, is now the technical director.
On April 2, 2008 it was announced that former owner of Mammoet, Van Seumeren, has taken over 51% of the shares of FC Utrecht. This makes Utrecht the second club in the Netherlands, after AZ, to be owned by investors.
The board of FC Utrecht has further announced that, because of the money they got for this take over, there will be more room for youth facilities and scouting. Also the board wants FC Utrecht to be competing within the top of the Eredivisie in five years.
