If Sunderland got to Europe......(and that's a big IF!!!!!)

[Guest nufc_geordie]

This is a regular argument that I have with a couple of mates who think I am mad. If Sunderland were to qualify for European competition I would genuinely hope that they won their games unless they played other British opposition. Within our borders domestically I despise them and hope they lose, but in Europe I feel each club represents the domestic league. I know I would still support Scottish teams against them, but in general I would like them to beat any other nationality teams.

 

At the end of the day all clubs in Europe earn points for their national association which in turn accumulates to places allocated in each European competition so the more points we get, the more teams can compete in Europe.

They are 100% correct. 

 

I'd hope they get disqualified due to some dodgy UEFA by-law before kicking the first ball in anger.

I would hope they did an Everton, dvd aswell.

is this thread a wind up?

Get absolutely murdered by some bunch of part-timers or go out on pens against similar oppo.

[Wullie]

What a mental question.

 

Personally I'd hope for them the same as I hope for every English club playing in Europe (apart from Arsenal), I'd hope they got fucking murdered.

hope they would get thrashed, and put to shame

Can you qualify for Europe these days via the LDV Vans trophy?

[Incognito]

The only way they would qualify is via the Eurovision Song Contest.Unless they bring back Eurotrash.

I like British teams to well in europe, apart from sunderland, boro and chelsea.  How any newcastle fan couldve wanted the smoggies to win the uefa, and rub it in for eternity while undermining it if we ever won it, i dont know.

 

dvd aswell

Crash and burn. Big time.

Well, clearly I'd very much like to see them win. I think it would be marvellous for everyone in Tyneside to have the chance to share in the joy of Sunderland lifting a European trophy. It's what every self-respecting geordie would say, isn't it?
