    Just a quick one, im aware we are in Europe (unreal) but do we have to qualify through a home and away fixture to get in the Europa League or do we go straight into the group stage?

    Qualify my friend, only the Europa League champions get a direct spot in the group stage (unless they qualify for the Champions League of course). Birmingham will start in the Third Qualifying Round of the 2011-12 Europa League. If you win in that round you go to the Playoff Round so you have to win two home/ away matches before making the group stage.

    Although if you somehow managed to win the FA Cup as well as the Carling Cup you would start in the Playoff Round. Laughing

    No pressure then Laughing I dont really care if we fail to make it to the Europa League, the fact that we are playing a foreign club without it being a friendly is just EPIC

    Yea I imagine it will be fun to play against a somewhat well know foreign club and have that experiance. I imagine if you get drawn to some weird unknown club from Eastern Europe you hopefully be able to beat them.
    A few of the Europa League spots elsewhere are been decided so here is a small sampling of other clubs starting in the 3rd Qualifying Round;
    Lokomotiv Moscow (5th place Russia)
    Strømsgodset (Norwegian Cup Winners)
    Helsingborgs IF (Swedish Cup Winners)
