I'd forgotten about that. Well if Middlesbrough can make it far, so can we! I'd like to see us do well in Europe (although not at the expense of the PL, which must always come first for us), Hull City in the Champion's League would be the ultimate pisstake.
After this season dont rule anything out including SB taking us to new heights. But like you PL safety has to be the main focus again.
That's exactly why we'll play reserves in the Europa League and we'll be out in the first round. We get a jolly away day, Brucey gets to concentrate on the league, everybody's happy.
Hey. Dont rule out a european cup run. Depends on the depth of the squad come august time. We should get to the group stages at the very least. Let us see who we draw and when first.
I won't be happy, **** the league, I'd happily take relegation if it partnered a ****ing decent European cup run.
They somehow managed to lose £65.4m during the season they were in the Premier League, so god only knows how much they've lost this year.
Just an excuse really to cheer meself up. [video=youtube;3uSTOHa4Im4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uSTOHa4Im4[/video]
Exactly. Even if SB prefers an early exit (which I would doubt anyway), if we draw Torshavn from the Faroe Isles or someone similar we'll be in the group stages.
I'd be straight there, I could stay at my Uncle's! I once had a trial at Skala, which is a small village with a population of about 500 people (or it was). The stadium, however, holds about 2,000 people. I really hope we end up going there, it's a beautiful place. Although unless you're in Torshavn or Klaksvik you're in for a quiet night.... B36/HB Torshavn wouldn't get to the third qualifying round anyway, they usually exit in R1 or 2. And there's also a play-off round before the group stages, in which some CL teams enter, so it'll either be dead simple or well hard.
I've been to both Torshavn and Klaksvik..... Aaaah, the benefits of the fish trade, visiting all these exotic places. A trip to Iceland would suit me as well - I could put it on company expenses !
