There are countless possible permutations but the bottom line is we have a more favourable fixture list which suggests we should amass more points than our rivals.
It is not a spin to suggest this.

Funny that as in the last round the same situation so our game moved to Wednesday?
First off all that is not what you presented in your original post.
You took pathetic pot shots about my understanding of the table because you have a personal issue with me.
I correctly pointed out that the issue we have is that there are multiple teams we have to pass, not the amount of points between us and 4th place currently.
If you want to argue that you think our easier run in means we should pass all those teams go ahead, I think that is pretty wishful thinking, especially based on how we have played so far this season. But that has little to do with your nonsense crying about my understanding of how the table works or the vast majority of crap you included in your post.
They don't get preference they followed the rules. Changing the rules would be giving someone preference.
It doesn't make much, if any of a difference, it just seems like something to whine about for the sake of whining.
If we lose to Zagreb because the 2nd leg is at their stadium with no fans that is pretty pathetic on our part and like it has been mentioned this likely helps us as it means we do not have to travel before the NLD. Given the choice I think many, if not most fans, would take it this way than the reverse.
We have currently scored 23 goals in the EL this season. The record for most goals in a season is 37 scored by AWB's Porto side. We need 15 goals to break that.
Never mind the bollocks lets just rinse the AFTV boys again 
Good effort mate, but those Dinamo sides of the 1990’s must have been toilet because your lot couldn’t string 2 passes last night.
Expected more from you. #pubside
Qualifiers:12
Group: 15
Wolfsburger: 8
Dinamo : 2
25 after last night and potential 6 more games to get 13.
Not sure how long you have followed football for or how far your knowledge of the game extends but surely you'd be aware that teams do not always play at their best. Tonight was one of those nights.
And i am also not sure how a team that comes away with a draw at Old Trafford to the reigning European champions can be described as "toilet".
I will assume you are 15 and leave it at that.
Should be enough. Could be a very tasty last 8. Granada and possibly Rangers would be the potentially easier games. Like to see us get the latter if we both go through.
Not sure how seriously you took the game, played like a side that knew they were going to lose almost from the off, maybe your focus is on the league? What was worse to see was the constant kicking out at Spurs players, is that normal in the Croatian First Football League?
They looked pretty good in possession, neat passing, quick movement. No mugs at all.
Out of possession their Plan A just seemed to wait till the ball went to Ndom then kick the shit out of him

Well its actually simpler than that - we are not used to this level of speed and switching ball movement. So even when you win back possession you are literally gasping for oxygen as you try to launch a counter attack. We clearly tried but Spurs are simply a class above - athletically, technically and tactically.
As for the fouls, I don't think it was due to nastiness. It is easy to mistime a tackle when your opposition is playing at a high tempo which you do not encounter in your own league.
I think people are upset because it was a "violent" game. Of course, considering we have played more than 40 matches this season, a physical battle against a team that was supposed to be a technical side is a bit annoying - three days before a derby, etc. However, I blame the referee much more than Dinamo. It´s his prerogative to "protect" the players, give penalties, etc. Dinamo tried their best and I´m sure they will play better with the ball at home. I respect the game you guys played.
And the most important thing, from our perspective: there is still one more match to play. Away, without Hojbjerg, against a side with nothing to lose. It´s not over.

Not 15 and I’m aware Dinamo have a rich European pedigree. Just a bit of banter.
I read your post a few weeks ago and thought we might have a seriously tough game on our hands with you dominating a lot of the ball.
To be honest, I thought Antwerp looked better.
