UEFA Cup 1st Round Draw

I'd like to play Austria Vienna. If we got Berlin would it mean a trip to the world cup final ground? Where do PSG play their games?

Litex Lovech only beat Longford 3-1 on agg. a few years ago in the UEFA Cup, Stephen Kenny would know plenty about them and where they are going.

If I remember correct, it was 2 late goals in the 2nd leg that put them through after a 1-1 in Longford.

Austrians are the best option. Austria "only" ranked 20th in europe.

Would be good chance of big bucks from german tv though if got Hertha,

You cant expect expect to make a fortune in 1 match. However, make the group stages and your elected. So Derry should play the game at the Brandywell if at all possible. Look at what Shels did to get "money". Now they are almost bankrupt. Litex are beatable but just about. A massive step up for Derry. Away goals are essential regardless of who they get. Not long to go now.

This is my attempt to qualify-by-maths. Using good old Berts stats.

So here goes...
Derry = MC[squared]. That was easy... what's all the fuss about!

All seriousness aside now for a minute!

Austria Wien seem to be living on one good season (04/05), Litex are the same but worryingly it was last year! so avoid them I would say!

Hertha clocked up 12.444 points last year too.... a worry!

Panathanikos and PSG going on form are due a good year! (seems like they both take every second year off!) Though they still put a good few points in the bag on the 'off' year.

So mathematics tells me we want Austria Wien!

If you disagree you are wrong The proof of my theory is below!

Feck.
Little hope.

[cavan_fan]

Possibly the hardest possible team (maybe along with Hertha) but on the plus side nicer than a few days in Sofia!

[finnpark]

s of a draw.

Thats curtains for Derry for sure. Ah well it was good while it lasted. Hopefully they will keep the score respectful anyway. May be even get a draw at home?

[Soper]

Beatable though, so be positive.

[BohsPartisan]
