We're fairly used to this now, Brendan's 3rd year of navigating a very short break, then pre-season squad building, friendlies & then all the travelling for the inevitable ex Soviet blok teams.

Very, very difficult - but Brendan is known for his meticulous attention to detail & the fact we keep going back to the same places like Austria & ?Dubai add to his method (he knows the place, people, facilities - builds relationships etc).

I'm still worried that it's a huge ask for us to get through it all successfully - but I guess we'll really be doing everything we can to ensure we do.
Seems a good draw for the 1st round, hoping all the others are similar - easy enough team, but very far away.

Edit:
I've started to think it might be good to have a CL qualifier team, who just concentrate on that & don't play or prepare for the league - especially as we've got a good draw for the league this season & we'll have plenty of time to catch up any lost points.
Also gives game time & league exposure to fringe players, or new signings.
I'd even like to see us taking guys away to a camp or something, just to solely concentrate on qualifying - it's that important.

Not speaking from experience but I read that Armenian women are particularly beautiful.
They are but they are ball busters who throw a strop if you don't give/buy them what they want. Their families also come for a 2 week holiday and stay for 2 months. Good cooks though

A solid RB and CB and i'll feel confident - it could be that Lustig and Boyata will see us through here, but it could be that they'll both still be at the World Cup (Lustig much less likely).
