That's not the question though.
Would our winning the europa league, having had our games in the group stage, beat our getting KO'd in the round of 16, i.e. 2 games additional?

True, I was just explaining that the difference is that immense that it's highly unlikely.

I read somewhere that Werder Bremen made more money by reaching the final of the UEFA cup than Bayern did in exited at quarter final stage of the Champions League.

i'd like this cleared up as i might enjoy it more if winning the thing is the difference between a new player or not.

My memory about this is vague but it cheered me up when I read the article after we were knocked out of the Champions League... let me see if I can find it.
I would very much like us to win this thing. In some ways, more than getting fourth in the league. Scraping fourth in the league doesn't hide our dismal season but a trophy is a trophy. Did you see Stevie's reaction last night when Nando scored the goal that sealed the tie? It was brilliant and so much better than watching him sulk around the pitch in that Wign match.
Also, it would be marvelous to see Nando and Mascher win a trophy in a Liverpool shirt and maybe this will make them want to stay a bit longer.

I agree with that. Trophies make players happy and create good memories.
