finishing 7th will still get us back in Europe, better than nothing folks.

Unless blue shite knock us into 8th !!

sorry for doom and gloom

 

[Avmenon]

I may get slated a bit; but I'd rather they got the place.

They deserve it more than we do.

(I'll still be grateful if we sneak in, mind.)

 

[Pesam]

I refuse to get excited about potential games against FC Goldfrapp and Sporting Mekon, I would much rather that we get bought out by by a multi-billionaire and we put ALL our efforts next season into winning the league title. European football can wait until 2012 when we win both the league and CL.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

I'm with you on that score Pesam.
No European football could be a blessing for us next season.

 

[Fox]

would we get in it if we win it anyway?

Then 8th would get it, Everton

Plus fair play shite and inter-two-bob cup fuck half the PL will be in it

This. Fuck the Europa league. It means Sunday and Monday night games. I like my footy on Saturdays, preferably at 3 pm.

 

[Hansern]

As much as I agree with you mate, we need the income. Getting to the semis is like having a decent run in the CL nowadays.

agree fuck it if we get knocked out early but it is worth a punt if we get to the final like this year, it has been fun

Plus some players might be more tempted to come to us or stay if we at least have something other than domestic

Good news!

But not if you like your footy on a Saturday. Great news for armchairs.

It's good news for LFC mate.

The few times i've managed to go and watch us over the last few years have been mostly to the midweek European nights anyway, so wether it's on a Wed or Thurs doesn't really effect me.

OUCH!

 

[Rosco]

Isn't this a bit embarrassing ?

 

[Avmenon]

What, the cock or us gloating about pipping mighty Pompey to the OOFA Cup?

Which part.

Quality stuff lads.


And any extra tv time and cash has to be welcomed by us.

 

[Spionkop69]

Do you know what? I'd rather we were out of Europe next season. European Cup or nothing. Why on earth, after a World Cup summer do we want to be adding loads of meaningless fixtures against 2nd tier teams in the lower level competition? Apart from the cash of course!

I would prefer no European competition, and if Rafa were to still be here, then he has no choice but to focus on the league and no reason to rest players for European competition.

If we played 20 games less in a season then perhaps the key players wouldn't get injured so much!

Yep. My only worry would be the cash aspect, as you mentioned. Plus the Europa League is shite until you get to the quarters. It's an embarassment to be in it.
