European tour begins

A decent draw in the Europa League. Happy to get two big clubs in Dinamo Zagreb and Rapid Vienna (it means nothing to me?), while Belgian side Genk, based in a former coal mining city turned creative hub, might be Europa's equivalent to a wet Thursday night in Stoke. And let's just be thankful FC Astra aren't involved. All rather exciting to see West Ham involved in a European draw — I'm reminded of all the years Arsenal fans spent moaning about only qualifying in 4th place for the Champions League. They're missing it now it's gone. West Ham's forays into Europe are rare — let's enjoy it.
