Understandably but yes, I did have your lot in mind when I wrote it It's essentially a case of running before you can walk. Let's say you win the EL *shudders as bile enters mouth*. Now; if Klopp can rebuild your patchwork squad and train them up to the level that they can compete in the CL without embarrassing all of England as well as challenge for the top 4, the man is an absolute miracle worker. My point is that it is almost impossible to envision you - or anyone for that matter, I would've said the same thing about Spurs last season - progressing that quickly...so how exactly is this 'prize' a reward? Correct me if I'm wrong, but finishing in the top 4 is usually a better indication of preparedness for CL level than progress in the EL? And if a team is regularly top 4, what do they need the EL for unless they stupidly do a United and fail to qualify from the easiest group in the tournament and the EL then offers them another backhanded roll of the dice...
Yes yes if you look at it from a purely cl wild card perspective CK then everything you say makes complete sense but it adds prestige to the Europa for one, and also gives clubs who may never qualify for the cl maybe due their country's co efficient. Anyone winning the Europa should be more than capable of having a decent cl showing anyway. The gulf between savilla and say cruj is not that great. And most importantly its a bloody good trophy to win. Any cup is worth winning imo.
For the group stages, certainly. Getting into the CL group stage is easy money for starters, regardless of how you perform. It brings your club greater exposure in the world of potential sponsors. To consistently survive in the CL, you have to start somewhere (if from humiliation, so be it) . If winning the EL is your easiest route to that path, take it.
Oh dear. This is what happens when you spend too long on the Arsenal board trying to WUM. They are easy bi-polar prey. But here : raise your game (if you can) .
Sucky cannot. He lacks the intellectual ability to be a Wum Master. Wumming the Gooner board and taking bites of IQ87 is about as high as he can, realistically, expect to climb on the Wum-ladder.
What are you faffin about RDBD? Ck said the europa winners cl slot was pointless/a joke/not worth it, as they would be nothing but fodder for teams who have "progressed" to qualify. Its easier to say that when your out of it i suppose but its a rubbish statement imo now whats all this about wumming?
<quote> but in all honesty there just isn't any point in winning it (other than the shiny trophy) if you're miles away from the standard required for the CL </quote> Is there a not606 WUM wannabee reading "SAT" test out there ??
ive been wumming you lot for months, cant you all see that youve fallen for my master wummery? i also sell houses for bazzilionz of pounds.
We've been watching you buzz around in this article for months, colliding ever more frequently with its glass windows as the season passes. Yet thinking that the "light" you see on the other side of the glass spells out "next year is our year" .
I am thinking of setting up the HIAG WUM Examination Board (HWEB, for short), and devising a set of exams, in order to grade would-be wumsters, as follows:- GRADE 1: ability to use gentle ribbing techniques in order to get bites out of bell-end posters GRADE 2: ability to use advanced wum techniques in order to get slightly more intelligent posters to take you seriously GRADE 3: ability to ensnare all-comers with a rich variety of techniques WUM MASTER: the ability to assume an alter-ego to ensnare wums and hand back to them their arses on a regular basis I think Sucky will find it very difficult to make it past GRADE 1, tbh.
