Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Should just go back to uefa cup imo. Europa league is a joke. The last version of UEFA Cup started in June with the Intertoto (coincidentally won by NUFC in its final year). The current Europa League format is almost identical to the UEFA Cup, except with a less nonsensical group stage. It is a massive competition in scale, the number of teams means the qualifying must start fairly early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Cut out one knockout round and it'll be alright, so the Champs Lge 3rd places shouldnt be allowed in. Giving the winner an automatic CL spot is a positive step too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it sound like you aren't taking it seriously. I know you are, but the only people I've met who say that are absolute wankers with limp handshakes and manbags. Sorry .
