That's bugger all money. I bet you'd spend more on flights and hotels unless you reached the semi final. Do Europa league winners qualify for the next years competition?
Surely Arsenal would be preferable if we're going to win the thing. When did Arsenal last win anything? All we'd have to do is turn up and it's ours.
Is that as of next season? I thought that was a while off yet. The competition will instantly get a lot tougher next season in that case.
If we were to get there and beat Arsenal, that would probably cost Wenger his job, which would raise our profile for decades.
You can't bring out the "Europa League ****s up your season" thing. We may never get this opportunity again, think about what an amazing experience it would be.
These footballers and specially premier league fancy dans don't do economy flights and travelodge. More like private flights with Jacuzzi's and a champagne bar and stay at whatever city they're visiting's The Dorchester counterpart. That's without mentioning hiring out a training ground and equipment for a couple of days.
Give me Arsenal. The whinging will start the minute it is confirmed. They are still moaning about our 2-1 win there in 2008. Went back the season after when they cheated us out of a replay in the FA Cup Quarter Finals and every Arse fan to a man trotted out the same excuse. 'You tried to kick us off the park....' You know, I hope we do. Plus every football fan in the world will be willing us to beat them.
To beat Arsenal in the final would be out of this world and fantastic But having said that for obvious reasons I would pick Wigan IF we get to the final. Though of course anything could happen including a Wigan v Sheffield United final
We have a poor record against both clubs in the cup, so would prefer meet Arsenal. That way losing should still get us into Europe.
Agree with this and anyway, all those saying that they would prefer Wigan are acknowledging that Wigan could beat Arsenal. Well if Wigan could beat them I'm bloody sure we could.
plus Arsenal v Hull in the final, all the pressure would be on Arsenal. Don't want to go into the final as favourites.
Must be because I'm young but winning the FA cup doesn't feel that special. It'd be special because we've never done it but otherwise I cannot help but feel we've had an easy run and it's not really a fair reflection of things. I'd prefer Europe because Europe would help the club grow.
