Ronaldo Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The Uefa cup will always be looked down upon while the 3rd placed teams from the Champs League get a free ticket horrible tournament tbh, horrible format, horrible teams, incredibly amateurish coverage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Make it a straight knock out like it used to be, even it was seeded which it probably would be itd be better than the group stage is beyond farcical. You could understand if it was pulling big crowds in across Europe like the CL does but generally it doesn't. At least its got a fucking stupid name next season and is going to mirror the Champs Lge. UEFA games against whoever were always better when the away team brought a few over with them - NAC, Bilbao, PSV, Fenerbahce and the likes rather than when there was a silent ground. Was it that Latvian team we played in the cocopops that only brought 1 fan who had that massive flag? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yeah the whole thing needs to go back a few years. Champs league - WINNERS and runners up of the division only. UEFA - 3-6th placed teams Cup Winners Cup - WINNERS of cup, unless they're in champs league then runners up get it. I used to love the CWC for some reason.

Newcastle Fan Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 What i always found ironic was that bar the "top 4" in England all the other teams try their best to reach Europe, and when they finally get their they do what Tottenham did and throw in the subs to keep it from distracting them from their Premier league objective. of reaching Europe!

sugoinufc Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Adebayor isn't THAT much better than Bendtner, and Eduardo and RVP (Who is great) have experienced imjury problems. He really is. Bendtner is s***. Though I fear you've heard this before. Bendtner isn´t s...! he is only 20 years old! I would love him here to partner Martins! only thing you can blame him for is his immature and selfish attitude, i reckon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Bendtner is pretty s****. He's not that bad imo, still 20 and got loads of time ahead of him so its pretty early to judge him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
