Haha, just wanted to mix things up a bit

Draw Delights Warren
Aberdeen boss Dean Warren has expressed his delight over the
draw for the 4th qualifying round of the Europa League, which
sees his side paired with Mogren of Montenegro. Mogren are a
relatively unknown side to the rest of Europe and of the unseeded
teams, they had the lowest coefficient.
"Obviously, being seeded for the draw it didn't worry us too much
who our opponents were but it's a huge bonus to be playing the
so-called 'worst' side in the round in order to qualify for the group
stage. No disrespect to them but we are by far favourites. I'll warn
the lads against complacency but they should have more than
enough quality to see off a team from Montenegro who have never
played in a European competition before. At this stage last year
we were unseeded and drawn against Fulham. One year on, we
just have to win over 180 minutes against Mogren. The club is
progressing and hopefully we can string together a solid run in
Europe and put this club back on the footballing map."
The fans are likely to share Warren's confidence and are
already relishing the prospect of coming up against some
of Europe's biggest sides in the group stages.
