Villarreal :thup:

 

Fancy them going pretty far in this.

 

Struggling in the league mind.

 

:dowie: getting in Champions League is ridiculous for a club of their size especially given the sales they made in the summer.

 

No win in 6 in the league (I should have said current form).

 

They beat Hercules but small squad is probably catching up with them a bit.

They need to get back into form as the likes of Bilbao will pressure them for that 4th champs league place.

Pretty sure Villarreal see their CL spot as good as sewn up and are going all in in the EL. Despite their exploits this decade, they haven't had a piece of silverware to show for it (Sevilla, for example, has bagged a few trophies during their own 2000s bloom)

Would they not value European football over trophies though? Especially given the comparative lack of value attached to the Copa Del Rey?

Didn't realise the gap was 9 points, thought it was only 3-4 points.

I don't think they are risking anything, they have a healthy gap and - what's more important - no one in the chasing pack has shown signs of being able to put together the kind of form to really challenge them.  As long as they don't truly collapse they will be fine.

And trophies are important imho, in ten years they might be a lower midtable team, but the trophies would still be in the cabinet.

Wasn't disagreeing with that. I guess in a way Europa League is there only chance of winning anything in the near future with the dominance of the Clasisico's in Spain at the moment.

If you get a laugh for that after my puns, joeyt, I'll be very annoyed. :angry:

 

Will you accuse me of fowl play?

 

Flash a bit of breast and thigh'll let you off. Hen will you stop?

 

Now you're just winging it. You plucked those ones out of thin air.

I like the cut of your giblets.

That's nice, but I'm too busy watching Star Peck. I like Jean Luc PICARRRRd.

 

I won't egg you on anymore.
