Villa really are rubbish 

 

annoying how we dont beat them at home, and then go to Paris and play like we did yesterday and then they play like this!

Haven't seen the game and assume they weren't trying as they don't need to win. But looking at the other teams in the Europa have to say Villa look big favourites to win it. 

 

The way it's been structured the last few years, surely it's now lost alot of prestige to win the Europa. Doesn't seem like as big a challenge as it once was. 

 

I'd back us to win it comfortably if we were in it either this year or last.

Wouldn't mind if we could get into it next season as CL looks unrealistic now.

I feel like I need consecutive seasons where a PL team doesn't win it before I could get really excited about a Europa run. The new format opens the door wide open for a PL entrant to win it every year.

 

Feel like I'd actively not want to see us in the Conference. You'd basically be massively underachieving by not winning it and that undermines the concept of being champions. Palace have been an embarrassment frankly.

Don't agree with that, I'd be happy to win anything, and I was gutted when we lost in the Conf semi finals. It's a European trophy.

It's a European trophy that last year Chelsea won whilst playing every fixture wearing slippers.

 

It was an underachievement for you by not winning it but it's an even weaker competition now with no Europa dropouts. The seeded teams this year include a Cypriot side, the second best side in Czechia and two La Liga and Bundesliga sides each in relegation scraps. 

 

Hopefully Palace continue to shit the bed and someone like that, for whom it'll mean the world (like Olympiacos) can bring it home.

i'd still like to win it, and so would pretty much anyone if they found themselves in the semi finals.

 

Also, in the Champions League this year: Pafos (which sounds like a minor Greek philosopher), Qarabag (a Radio 6 Music-friendly mostly-instrumentals band), USG (isn't that a mid-low level sportswear retailer), Bodo Glimt (a Tolkien character), and Kairat (someone's cat walked over the keyboard whilst UEFA were typing their name into the draw).

Going strong and losing :D 

 

Really hope they slide down the over next few months because their form pisses me off, goes against all metrics.

 

Apart from the points-on-the-board metric, over a significant period of time, obvs.

I'm absolutely convinced Sibierski is watching an entirely different sport whenever there's a match on TV.
