'Walkover' - Tottenham fans in confident mood after Europa League draw confirmed

Tottenham Hotspur have discovered their Europa League group stage opponents.

Spurs, who secured their spot after a comprehensive 7-2 win over Maccabi Haifa on Thursday night, will be in Group J and will be reasonably happy with the outomce.

Bulgarian side Ludogorets, LASK of Austria and Belgian outfit Royal Antwerp stand in the way of Jose Mourinho and the knockout stages.

The first group stage game is set for Thursday, October 22, with confirmation of the full match calendar to arrive later.

Tottenham fans were in confident mood after the draw, dreaming of European glory under Mourinho.

Here’s what they said on social media.

@SpursTn: Walkover in Europa League groups.

@Magooster72: Well that draw went pretty well. Celtic and Rangers have far harder groups than us.

@jaythesailor: No reason why we can't top this group.

@Fergz16: No glamour ties whatsoever. Antwerp for distance wise a good draw from Pot 4.

@scottwritesfilm: Lovely jubbly! No easy groups but feel we can get out of this one without too many hiccups...

@HigherSpurs: Not bad, I’ll take that all day long.

@WizardReport: Great group for Tottenham. No long travels. Easy enough.

@mac1882thfc: Group J, looks favourable...

@Sebastian__4: Calm group, Europa League in the bag.

@mabbutt: Got to be happy with that draw.

@brawlers9901: That's a fairly good group considering the third seeds/fourth seeds that we could've gotten.
