I'm with Hat and BCC. What's the point in being in the PL if not to get into Europe and play in big games? The EL isn't a second class competition to be treated as an unwelcome mid season friendly. We should want to win every game. It'll be a massive shame if after getting this far we don't actually make it to the EL 'proper'.
My view is, what is exciting for us now - finishing 4th bottom of the league or enjoying tips to cities and clubs we've never played before, some of which could be some of the biggest clubs in the world? Will you remember trips to Giuseppe Meazza to face Internazionale, Saint Ettiene, Club Brugge, Sociedad or a plethora of teams knocked out of the UCL or another away day at The Hawthorns? I mustve read 5 posters today claim Lokeren was their favourite ever away game, how many said that the last time we went to West Ham? It's all Sky's fault for brainwashing people into thinking of you're not in the EPL you're nowhere. I'd take relegation and a run to the europa League final every single day until I die.
Failing to reach the group stage would be a massive disappointment, and a huge opportunity missed. Being knocked out in the group stage would still be disappointing but understandable. I don't expect the same full starting eleven but we should at least keep half the regular starters in this time. We need an attacking team that can win by a minimum 2 goals.
No, I don't think I am. http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/257071-Do-We-Want-To-Lose-Against-Arsenal
my views are the same as thecasual some of us older supporters have being waiting for years and years,where as the 20 yr olds have only known success and promotions.
The winners of the Europa Cup automatically qualify for next seasons Champions League. So let's go for it, who'd have thought we would have been in the F A cup final.
