Captain... Posted 14 September 2016 Posted 14 September 2016 The question is a) rhetorical and b) not would you accept Europa league if offered. The question is based around the hypothetical condition that we do not qualify. Should we not qualify would you rather play in the Europa League or be free of distractions to concentrate on the premier league and the FA Cup. Imagine the situation, December the 7th away at Porto, we sit 4th in the group 1 point behind Copenhagen, 2 points behind Bruges, Porto have won the group. Copenhagen and Bruges are playing each other, so a win would put us third and in the Europa League, but a defeat or draw would see our European tour come to an ignominious end. Lets say we are 16th in the league and out of the league cup. Our next game is home to Man City. Do we go all out for the win against a Porto side with nothing to play for and try and qualify for Europa League, or play our reserves get knocked out and concentrate on surviving in the league? As I said above go for Europe, but if that scenario plays out I bet there will be some on here wanting us to sack off the Europa League.

TheLittleBigMan Posted 15 September 2016 Posted 15 September 2016 No-one takes it seriously. If it was tight and competitive i'd say yes, but it's not. Bit like the league cup - totally uneventful.
foxy boxing Posted 15 September 2016 Posted 15 September 2016 if we had to play in the europa league then i would be happy with that because it would continue the european adventure and help us gain much needed experience in european competitions

WesMorganGod Posted 19 September 2016 Posted 19 September 2016 Hell no. No way. Morgan got his eyes on the champions league trophy, he wants it, he won everything else.. championship and premiership. Champions league is next, people don't take the europa league trophy seriously these days. Morgan will get the main prize.
