Spurs Dodge Big Guns In UEFA Cup Draw
Posted on 07. Oct, 2008 by Milox in Premiership
Tottenham will avoid the big sides in the UEFA Cup group stages after they were seeded in Pot One for the draw.
Spurs, who have made their worst start to a league campaign since the year the Titanic sunk 96 years ago, will not have to face the likes of AC Milan, two-time cup winners Sevilla and current La Liga leaders Valencia after they were drawn amongst the top seeds in the competition.
It is a small boost for under fire boss Juande Ramos, whose team will also avoid the other three English sides left in the competition – Aston Villa, Manchester City and Portsmouth.
The draw takes place on Tuesday at 11am.
POT 1 AC Milan (ITA), Sevilla (ESP), Valencia (ESP), Benfica (POR), Schalke 04 (GER), CSKA Moscow (RUS), Tottenham Hotspur (ENG), Hamburg (GER)
POT 2 VfB Stuttgart (GER), Ajax (NED), Olympiacos (GRE), Deportivo La Coruna (ESP), Club Brugge (BEL), Spartak Moscow (RUS), Paris Saint-Germain (FRA), SC Heerenveen (NED)
POT 3 Rosenborg (NOR), Udinese (ITA), Feyenoord (NED), SC Braga (POR), Slavia Prague (CZE), Manchester City (ENG), Galatasaray (TUR), Sampdoria (ITA)
POT 4 Hertha Berlin (GER), Partizan Belgrade (SRB), AS Nancy (FRA), Portsmouth (ENG), Aston Villa (ENG), Racing Santander (ESP), FC Copenhagen (DEN), Dinamo Zagreb (CRO)
