    It's always a **** draw for Celtic because, they're ****.

    They're the club everyone else goes *get in, we got those Scotch ****s in our group*.

    I am lucky to have been to all three.
    Oporto to visit the port houses, Brugges to drink loads of different Belgian beer and I went to the Carlsberg brewery when i visited Copenhagen.

    Quite a few, but I agree...when we're playing in the Champions League we can consider having a badge with no name on

    They should put everything into the Champions League even if it means relegation. You can always get promoted back to the Premier League but there's virtually no chance they'll ever play in the Champions League again.

    Swap the words 'they' and 'champions league' for 'we' and 'Europa League' and it would be perfect for 2 years ago.

    Completely agree, I'm still angry that we threw it away without even trying just to fight a relegation battle.

    We still ended up getting relegated and within a season we are back in the Premier League anyway.

    Such a wasted opportunity.

    I was listening to RH last night and that Geoff/Jeff came on who was an Allam arse licker. He has now changed his tune and wants the Allams out as soon as possible.

    I think many of us could see that from the beginning if the Allams got their way with the name change, then that would open the floodgates for other hair brained schemes they might have.

    That is why is was so important to fight it, and many had a short sighted view on what the Allams were doing, and now they see what their real intentions were.

    Are you saying the game was deliberately thrown ?

    We didn't give ourselves the best possible chance of winning so in a sense it was, if you want to win a game you select your best players.

    The players didn't go out to deliberately loose, but the manager didn't go out and do his best to win either.

    I think they'll get over confident and go out at the group stage...... honestly think Lester will struggle this season.

    Livermore and Huddlestone didn't even get on the pitch in the first leg against Lokeren.

    And our top scorer Jelavic was dropped in favour of Sagbo.

    There's plenty of others as well but that's already more than enough.

    I'm not sure what your end game is here, you know full well we played weakened teams in all four Europa League games to prioritise the Premier League.

    • West Ham mocked for trying to sell 'Prepare for a European Tour' t-shirts following their Europa League exit
      West Ham's merchandise staff may have their work cut out over the next few days as the club will have to try to flog their 'European Tour' t-shirts.
      The east London outfit may have tempted fate by selling 'Prepare for a European Tour' t-shirts after sealing a spot in the Europa League qualifying stage.
      However the Hammers were dumped out of Europe's second tier competition by Romanian outfit Astra for the second year in a row as they fell to a disappointing 1-0 loss at the London Stadium.
    West Ham are selling '2016-17 European Tour' t-shirts on their official online store

    please log in to view this image

    The Hammers are selling the t-shirts for £15 or you can purchase two for £20
    The defeat at their new home in Stratford saw Slaven Bilic's side fall to a 2-1 aggregate defeat and crash out of the Europa League ahead of Friday's group-stage draw.
    Their '2016-17 European Tour' t-shirts are priced on their official website for £15 or you can purchase two for £20.
    That price is now likely to fall dramatically following their premature exit from Europe even though the word 'prepare' is now pretty apt.

    They might have trouble getting rid of these.
