Beren Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Now three English clubs are through to the quarters, I fully expect the quality of the teams in this competition to be retrospectively downgraded by fans of other clubs. Full of semi-pro teams from the Faroe Islands and Malta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I just hope we have Ben Arfa back for the Quarter Finals. Our new found defensive ability combined with his wizardry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Basel please. If not Basel I really don't want Chelsea or Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 In order of preference: Basel Lazio Fenerbache Rubin Kazan Benfica Chelsea Spurs Really? Thought you'd much rather want Kazan or Fenerbahce before Lazio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 UEFA needs to sort themselves out and move this competition to Tuesdays/Wednesdays during the weeks when there's no Champions League games on. Would do wonders for the competition and its reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 In order of preference: Basel Lazio Fenerbache Rubin Kazan Benfica Chelsea Spurs Really? Thought you'd much rather want Kazan or Fenerbahce before Lazio. Aye i would as well, Lazio are very very good and have an excellent tactical mind for a manager. I think we could do them if Debuchy, Gouffran, Ben Arfa and Cabaye were available but fact is they won't be. That's one of the main reasons i'm not extremely confident we have so much offensive talent missing, we can't keep clean sheets against everyone. Oh well anything is a bonus for me now, i never expected to get anywhere near this far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would do wonders for the competition and its reputation. When I run FIFA, I'm going to move Europa League to Tuesday. Champions League Wednesday & Thursday - most of the CL clubs play Sunday anyway for TV so let them play Thursday, people will watch Champions League any night.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Oh i believe i just like to play it down as i'm a bit superstitious, ever since i started to play down our chances we have got 4 clean sheets. Probably just a coincidence but i'm not risking it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like the idea of cramming all the Europa League games into one night, and they simply can't overlap with CL games or no one will care about them. IIRC, the quarter finals will be the first time that the CL teams play consecutive weeks this season, it surely would have been possible to fit the Europa League fixtures in when the CL teams aren't playing.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Its strange but i think i'm more confident against Spurs or Chelsea than i am against some random european side, mainly because i know we can beat them ( we already have this season) and against some other sides they are a bit of an unknown quantity.

Nobody Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Chelsea would probably just have one of their on days when Hazard, Mata and Oscar all click and makes them look like one of the best teams in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd use small a 'v' personally and why are they centralised for no reason? Lack of draw methodology also lets this work down too. 4/10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea I think we could beat over two legs, Spurs would be more difficult, though I think we could beat them on a one on one match I think it would be much more difficult in two legs. We are capable of it, Spurs for me are the team I'm mostly concerned about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 If somehow we won this competition I have a mint song we can sing.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 But that makes it sound like smoking a joint and shagging a whore was a tedious mandatory task as opposed to something you would do for pleasure and enjoyment. It needs a bit of work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 this may well have already been answered but are they drawing the quarters and semi tomorrow or just the quarter final? Also while we play Fulham and Sunderland around the quarter final, Spurs who will still be prioritising getting in top 4 have Everton at home before going away to Chelsea! it might not be a bad time to play Spurs in Europe. Chelsea have a home game against the mackems before playing Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
