Precisely why I got a bit anxious about all the Europe last year, I don't like the thought of an extra 15 or so games added to ac.n and our dodgy spell combined. I think Birmingham have done Liverpool a huge favour for next season, they don't have the added distraction of a long and drawn out europa league campaign. The Thursday fixtures are ridiculous. I dnt even like qualifying for it on Fifa ffs, ya can't get the same team out two games in a row. I think it could cost brum dear this coning season.
