EastAnglianFox Posted 26 July 2020 Share Posted 26 July 2020 I'd already be buzzing for this if the situation around the world was normal. Some serious Thur-Sunday long weekend contenders if fans were allowed to go by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good win though that one. I hope Atletico don't end up in it, because we all know what will happen then. Didn’t we draw with Yeovil at home?

Bilo Posted 26 July 2020 Share Posted 26 July 2020 Give us another Belgian away day and I'll be happy as a pig in shit. Wouldn't say no to APOEL, Hajduk Split, Ferencvaros or Sparta Prague either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 26 July 2020 Share Posted 26 July 2020 The list of teams in group stage so far. Good to see our name there above Spurs too Leverkusen will go in to CL if they win the Europa League Napoli or Roma or Milan will be in Europa League as well depending on how Serie A finishes, as well as depending on how Napoli/Roma do in CL/EL respectively this season.

The pandemic isn't over by a long shot and there are clusters igniting again everywhere. Our only hope is a vaccine. Vaccine will only be available to vulnerable categories so we are fcked.

If we needed to win to get in to the Europa League on the final day of the season, I can guarantee there'd have been cheers in the stadium from fans if we were to draw/lose. Pathetic. It’s got to be the fashionable thing to do. Oh, Europa is shit. Who wants to play on a Thursday night blah blah. It’s not on. We are not that big. Not even close. Spurs took years in Europa before breaking into the champions league. I want us to go for it. Seville have built up a legacy winning this competition. This is the sort of team we should be aspiring to be like. We are light years behind the elite. However, get them to draw Seville or Leicester City. I guarantee you, their fans would fear/respect Seville then us. We need to build a legacy. We are privileged to be a part of this tournament. It is not an annoyance, it’s one, like the FA Cup or even the League cup, that we should try our best to win. If a city can can’t get themselves up for a European tie, they are following the wrong sport. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilo Posted 26 July 2020 Share Posted 26 July 2020 It's also a tournament that English teams have done well in of late. Liverpool made the final a few years back, Manchester United won it under Mourinho, an all-English final last season, Wolves on a great run this season to name but a few. No reason at all why we can't do well in this tournament and build a legacy for ourselves. If nothing else, we're going to get three European away days to enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replying to yours but could be writing this reply to many that have already commented. its the timing of the post really. We are all, myself included, very disappointed in our season going down the pan. Thursday night in Azerbaijan isn’t exactly appealing when we’ve been in a champions league spot all season. It’s like asking Father Christmas for the new FIFA and getting an old one from the bargain bin instead. its the wooden spoon. But it isn’t a bad constellation prize and really as a club, with the right perspective we will hopefully be able to treat it as a positive in time. everyones a bit sore at the moment, it’s a little too early to expect people to be buzzing about the Europa league because it is a disappointment compared to what we should have got. I’ve no doubt we’ll all be cheering the lads on and buzzing about it nearer the time and further away from the bitter disappointment of brendans bottlers and kasper being the new Gerard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no doubt we’ll all be cheering the lads on and buzzing about it nearer the time and further away from the bitter disappointment of brendans bottlers and kasper being the new Gerard. I don’t doubt that. I am still feeling a bit low especially after the way we lost it today. I thought we were in the ascendency and had that error not occurred, we would’ve scored. If buts and maybe’s. You also remember the games where we have thrown away points. Certainly don’t have an issue with fans feeling low, I do myself. My issue is with comments where people completely be-little the competition as if we are too big for it and have bigger fish to fry. And granted, it may be people venting but come on, this is a fantastic tournament to be a part of. Hold off on the venting until a few days before putting a downer on a competition in which we have no history. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if today you offer me, Europa via league qualification for the next five years, I’ll snap your hand off.

Popular Post when_you're_smiling Posted 26 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 26 July 2020 (edited) The UEFA Cup games against Atletico and Red Star were for many years among the most memorable and talked about games - and we didn’t even do much in them. What makes people think these games will be any different and less memorable? (And we won’t get screwed over by a dodgy ref in every game.)
