Guest Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Chelsea fan on another forum I go on... "Ohh and O.N Van Aanholt looks the nuts !!! Came on for Zhirkov around 70 mins and played a blinder. Its like watching a 18 year old Ashley Cole. So fast, and takes men on. Came in with a couple of wicked low crosses. Drogba should have put one of them away."

A shame that his team was already up 4-0 and wasn't really eager to get on the end of anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 That's going to be an insane week. We have the Semi on Sunday, then Arsenal at home the 14th, then Chelsea at home the 17th. Brummie's got the Semi on the Saturday, then you guys the 14th. It's the Manchester derby on the 17th as well. Liverpool have an easy run that week, can see them clawing a lot of points back on us all. We've got by far the easiest run-in of the lot but we've left it a bit too late to get fourth. It would take a collapse by more than one side. tbh I wouldn't mind finishing 6th/7th and still missing out on the Europa League because less games would make it easier to have a proper push for 4th next season. Let's be entirely honest, the Europa League is a total waste of time. I shed precisely zero tears when we went out at the first hurdle this year.

Love these team that kill themselves to get in Europe, and don't try when they get there ammuses me. The arrogance from teams who haven't been in the CL in ten or more years is quite funny to me.

The arrogance from teams who haven't been in the CL in ten or more years is quite funny to me. It isn't about arrogance, it is about the fact that the format of the competition is such that, if you don't have a Champions League strength squad, you can not conduct a decent campaign in that AND in the league. Fulham are a one-off in that respect (if you consider their league campaign respectable). I started watching us last year in the Europa League in July, against Odense, and watched every home match, and it just seemed to go on forever. By the end, I was relieved as much as anything. I thought it would last the rest of my natural life. It is not about arrogance, it is about the fact that the format of the competition is absolutely ridiculous, especially compared to the UEFA Cup.

Village Idiot Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Real are 4-1 up at hhhetafe. Ended 2-4. Most amusing thing is that this means that Real have one more year failed to score in the south end goal, where they have never, never scored. It's the only goal in the entire division (apart from Xerez's north end, but it's their first year in the division) where they have never scored.

No, the format isn't great, but I'm just pleased to play in Europe full stop really. What would you propose? Possibly a return to straight-knockout? I think it was like that, anyway. I can't say we had much interest in it up until Moyes' reign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
