Ketsbaia Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I don't think the other teams look that difficult tbh. There's a few good teams like Inter, Napoli, Lyon and Leverkusen but we can beat the others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 One thing that i hope changes from our previous journeys in this competition, is that we actually destroy the Levadia Tallinns, Ventspils and Dinamo Tblisis out there, should we face such opposition. Can still remember Martins looking bored out of his mind during the 0-0 at home to Ventspils. I always liked being in those competitions but fuck, those games were a chore at times. Can only remember it happening a couple of times; home to Breda and away to Bnei Sakhnin, with the odd 'convincing' scorelines win thrown in there n'all.

Sifu Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Whenever we've been in the UEFA Cup/Europa League (during this last decade), we have looked pretty decent so I'd say it's our best chance to win a trophy. But being the traditionalist that I am, if I had to choose, I would love us to win the FA Cup (tis a grand old trophy, full of tradition). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 We could win it, tbf. We've done it before, we'll do it again. Definitely. But to do so, at some point you'll have to start prioritising UEFA games over league games. That might be risky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Couldn't find a better related thread. Hopefully not a European football's governing body Uefa is considering ditching the Europa League in favour of extending the Champions League from 32 to 64 teams. "We're discussing it. We will make a decision in 2014. Nothing is decided yet," Uefa president Michel Platini told French newspaper Ouest-France. It means seven English clubs and five Scottish teams could qualify for European football's elite competition. Uefa are looking at changing the format of European competitions from 2015. "There is an ongoing debate to determine what form the European competitions will have between 2015 and 2018," added Platini. The former France international said he was not worried by talk of Europe's richest clubs forming a competition to rival the Champions League. "It's a question that is regularly brought up," he said. "I can't see how it could work outside the Uefa framework. Who will referee them? In what stadiums will they play?" http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20523405 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 These richest clubs are f***ing nothing with out the bread and butter of their own domestic league. Wankers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I suppose the positive side of that would be the usual 4 teams would not be constantly creaming in the massive CL money every season. Throw 7 teams in that mix and it might see a few other clubs having a little more money to spend and breaking up the top 4 every now and again.

Fenham Mag Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Still a yes for me. Without the Europa League, I wouldn't be going to Bordeaux next week, which is pretty much the most excited I've been about a Newcastle fixture since we were last in Europe. Selfish but I don't care.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I like it, but I think it's a real shame how it affects the preparation time between games. I love football, but the problem with so many matches is the lack of time to train and make progress that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it should be on alternate weeks from the Champions League so they can be played on Tuesday or Wednesdays. I'm sure there will be room in the schedule.
