Just booking my flight to Madrid for the final now.

Debreceni are a Hungarian team, one of the 'bigger' ones.

The group I'd like us to be in is
Arsenal
Rangers (would be great to stuff both of the Glasgow sides)
Stuttgart (Good to see mad Jens back...and take the piss out of Hleb)
FC Zurich (cheap to get to, and many ways of getting there)

The group I think we'll end up in is
Arsenal
Juventus
Besiktas
FC Zurich
