http://www.safc.com/page/BlogEntry/0,,10281~2389043,00.html A good read from the official site, got me thinking about how good it would be invading Europe! Imagine all those beautiful foreign cities turned red and white, if only for a few days
Not here to argue before anyone starts. Nothing like a European away game. I have done my fair share, and Milan was amongst them, 15k in the ground, god knows how many more outside. Just fantastic. Places like Barcelona and Marseille stick out but you also see other places like Riga(Latvia). Class.
nice one this isnt a "we will get into europe" article just a look at the stag do-esqe fun that the europa league would bring
The Champions League brings you the glorious cities, but the Europa League brings you the Wigan's of central Europe. Wouldn't have it any other way.
I will never deny my envy at our lack of European football in my lifetime. I have stacks of Mag mates, i used to feel sick to my guts every time they had the day off to go galivanting around Europe. I don't think we're miles off, but i don't think this is the year either, but when we get there, even if it's Kiev away, i will be there! Hopefully we get there, pull out Malaga in the groups, and you can all invade my adopted home (and spend lots of lovely money at my night....).
you dont need an excuse to go to milan or madrid or barcelona. Its the kind of plae you would go even if there isnt any football. Places like Split, Poznan and other such deliightful places, are the kind of the of places you wouldnt dream of going if it wasnt for the footy
I know a few that went to Tel-Aviv when we played there. They said it wasn't bad but boy did you have to be careful!
