Also with Napoli you meet several miles outside the city, get put on coaches with a police escort and get taken back out afterwards by the police. They have made it safe for fans if you want to be safe so there is little to worry about if you want to just go for a city break and not partake in the whole drinking and singing culture. Napoli is the one I'd want the most. Well that’s the other thing with it, wouldn’t be able to have a big gathering in the centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably would happen but I personally would go no where near it. Rarely can say this but there would be a very realistic possibility of stabbings and death doing that. Napoli would be an extraordinary 90 minute experience but it wouldn't be a whole day event like Brugge or Madrid or Porto was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Roma I recon, away fans in Italy tend to get bused in from experience. Went to see Atalanta V Roma a few years ago and they don’t get on at all, that ended with riot police in the away end. Would definitely be an experience over there lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just responding to the point that Wolves are 'some way off our best XI', as without those extra games they may well have finished above us in the league this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't just be Italy, with the europa league it brings up the real prospect of going to Russia, Ukraine and Turkey amongst others. Unless we get very fortunate and are able to stay in western/Northern Europe there is going to be some very interesting and scary away days. Exciting and scary at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’ve done Ukraine but that was the euros so it was alright other than Kharkiv which was a bit dicey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tournaments tend to be a little more calm in my experience. I went to Russia a couple of years ago for the World Cup and had a lovely experience, couldn't have felt more safe. However I reckon it will be different watching CSKA vs Leicester on a Thursday night. Interestingly the only time I've felt properly unsafe at a football match was in France in 2016 so I guess Western Europe can be dodgy too.

dooflip Posted 26 July 2020 Share Posted 26 July 2020 1 hour ago, Mickyblueeyes said: 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. I thinks it’s purely down to people needing something to be angry at and down on though mate. In comparison it is crap compared to champs league. But they will feel differently once the dust settles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 26 July 2020 Share Posted 26 July 2020 The positive for me is that the Europa League only starts to get tasty in March/April and we may have a good chance as going as fans then. If we were in the champions league, we’d been knocked out a long time before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be some ties nobody would be able to get to, like Astana or Qarabag, but you'd be gutted to miss out on something like AC Milan or a proper drinking nirvana like Standard Liege.

hejammy Posted 26 July 2020 Share Posted 26 July 2020 I've just realised both Manchester clubs screwed us. United (for having VAR as their 12th man) and City (for cheating and getting away with it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 26 July 2020 Share Posted 26 July 2020 Could be heading back to Copenhagen if they win their qualifiers. Spurs are in the qualifiers. They'll have games on 17th & 24th. Might be a good time to play them at the start of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 I don't expect us to win the thing. I hope we get to play some fun games, hopefully grab a few scalps, avoid injuries and help our European football record so our prize money in potential future seasons of European football improves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_brfox Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Well at least we have European football better than none just hoping we don’t get teams from like Kazakhstan so the players will be traveling far just angers me knowing Mufc have just got champions league and won’t care that much cause there used to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
