The Group stages are absolute ****, you're not missing anything. Can get interesting in the knockout bit, but it is very tiring if you've got a small squad.
Easy for you to say as a supporter of a team who's in it every year. We've qualified for Europe twice in my lifetime, in 2003 we went out in the first round of the old UEFA cup to Steaua Bucharest and this time we've failed to make group stages. I just hope it's not another 12year wait.
