He's dug out out the deep shit several times and then looked like a naff divvy others. My point is next year we should hope to see some consistency from him rather than this Jekyll and Hyde figure we have now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Ref was shocking today - Brighton seemed hell bent on time wasting from the 1st min. Ref did nothing about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbruggen must have had the ball at his feet for a good 15 minutes during the game without even a hurry up from the ref. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and I don't blame him in the slightest. He made it perfectly clear he was going to chew up as much time as possible from the first whistle and the spineless cunt allowed hi and the rest of the team to do it all afternoon. It's not their fault, an early yellow would probably have stopped it but he didn't show it so they continued to do it. They played him like a fiddle and I've got no problem with them at all.

If we were out of europe altogether we'd have a better chance of a season like last year and getting back into the CL. EL or nothing for me. The ECL is a third tier cup competition, just like the Papa Johns trophy is in this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great for regular away fans to get some trips to previously not visited places, but even the final is played in a shite venue where we’d be lucky to get a 5k allocation. UEFA have devalued the old cup winners cup and UEFA cup so much with its format, I honestly don’t see the appeal of random group games on a Thursday night against obscure teams, which then leaves us stuck with shitty 2pm kick offs every other Sunday. West Ham got 4 million for winning the conference league it hasn’t moved them forward as a club, or made them more attractive to signings in anyway that I can see. In saying all that yes we’d clearly celebrate winning it, there is a certain bragging right about being in Europe as well, but I certainly wouldn’t lose any sleep or think it harms us going forward if we missed out.

Jonas Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 51 minutes ago, Beth said: I would consider the ECL to be. We are not attracting any top class players to come here if we're in it. I'd go along with that. Its one step up from the intertoto cup. I'd take it but the effect it would have on trying to get into the champions league could be argued to make it exactly a booby prize - unless we win it which the chances are against despite being favourites.

Stifler Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Some people want to be in Europe regardless, others don’t. In all honesty though I think those who do want to be in it outweigh those who don’t. Everyone was gutted that we didn’t win today and know that it makes it harder for us to get into Europe. This season has been difficult, and getting into Europe would be seen as a prize for getting through it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 It is games like these that we needed more than just Bruno to be a creafive spark. When Bruno has his rare off-days (not so off yeaterday but not his best either), we need another top quality midfielder in there. The ones we have would run into a brick wall and work their socks off for the team but doesn't mean they are creative enough. Step forward, Sandro Tonali, for next season.
