One of very few bright ideas to come out of UEFA in recent years. is it, why? you're getting into europe by finishing 7th, rewarding failure imo don't get me wrong, i'd be all over it if we we're ever to be in it but it shouldn't even exist, same as that nations league crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the Papa Johns but instead of Leeds U23s you go off to Cyprus/Denmark/Belgium to play teams you've never played before. If we stop 'rewarding failure' you end up with only Man City in the Champions League and that's that. Sounds shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I think it’s fair to say it the achievement of getting in to Europe is diluted a little bit when so many teams are invited to the party, but it’s a party all the same. Bring back the Anglo Italian Cup, I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully again this coming weekend. You'll be keen for this yes? Oh, hang on a minute - I'd forgotten that its 'Jim Ratcliffe White' these days. Three eye tie runners up. I will have some fun with this - "Sempre la damigella d'onore". That will wind them up Can't send it until Sunday though. Fact remains the only country to have a club in all three major European finals. Not too shabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 If we ever get back into Europe in any capacity, even the Europa Conference, it will be a monumental achievement and every Wanderers fan will be delirious with joy so talking down the competition is bollocks.

Popular Post DazBob Posted June 8 Popular Post Share Posted June 8 (edited) Other fans can sneer as much as they want about West Ham winning a 'Mickey Mouse' trophy but, ultimately, why do we support a football club? We support a club and the dream is to watch them lift silverware. Many of those West Ham fans last night will have never seen their team do it before. That win last night meant more to West Ham fans than any Champions League final win would do to a fan of an 'elite' club. What a lot of so-called football fans don't get is it's not all about playing at the very top. A last minute winner in a League 2 match feels every bit as special as a last minute winner in a Premier League match. If you don't get that then you don't really get football.
