I do wish it would all be restructured and Cup Winners Cup reinstated even if it would have to have a group stage just in case a big club threatens to fuck up and not be in Europe beyond Christmas, though. Quite like seeing these unusual teams competing, that atmosphere Rennes v Leicester was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted March 18, 2022 Moderators Share Posted March 18, 2022 Remember when we were one place off the Intertoto Cup and we shit out, clearly not wanting to be in it. Tromso away would have been epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 19, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2022 Third tier European football, especially when the top tier has already been weakened- nah, not for me. Meaningless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaningless. Agreed, meaningless. Europa League is bad enough but that 3rd tier one is a joke. I feel sorry for the teams involved having to feign interest, when they'd probably rather be preparing for the next league game, knowing its their league position they'll be judged on.

I'd behead Megson for that and get other disgruntled ones to parade his corpse around the Unibol before he was incinerated on the pitch at half-time.

Not even Wembley 5-0 had me that angry at full time. Don’t get me Wrong I was fuming then but the comfort of knowing @jules_darby was going to have a worse hangover than me was a bit of comfort 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but the new format for the Champions League is, no groups anymore just one big league with shit loads more games where the top half of it qualify for the knockout stage.
