Some semi-decent sides there. Add in a few other surprise CL exits like Inter and there might be a few matches to get excited about. Ish.

More importantly, what's the money situation like? I know the prize money is something like £3m if you win it (that's adding the £1m odd for winning it to the money for each round) but what about the TV cash? Wasnt that supposed to have gone up quite a bit this year as part of the reform of the competition?

We'll make money by selling out our home tickets. How much can we get for each match? £1m? If we're playing 10 matches in the Europa league that will pocket us £10m. That's what Purslow was saying. Talk about being knee jerk.

Football on a Thursday night
Most of our league games being 3pm Sunday

Hopefully some of the younsters can get a few games in the competition so the likes for Gerrard/Torres can be fresh for the Sunday to ensure the above isn't the norm for next season.

Don't think that will be the case actually, most oft teams are pretty decent and have been in the Champions League in recent years. If we want to win it we have to take it seriously, incidentally I think that has been one of the reasons for our downfall, sometimes I get the feeling our players think they only have to show up to win the points, the concentration is missing sometimes, let's hope they are grounded now.

4) What's the f*cking point?

I think thats exactly what will happen. We need to concentrate on 4th place so I think this will be treated like the League Cup.

100% agree, can't believe we are going to be on Channel 5 or ITV 4 now, with Pat Nevin commentating.

Jesus, i wish i could wake up and this would all have been one big bad dream........

No, talking about the low prize money.

the stadium in Hamburg, 57,000 capacity

That looks like a giant trampoline.

Good place to do the Kop bounce then!

I bet we end up on the BBC.

There'll be some decent bids coming in for the LFC games, 5 and ITV4 don't have exclusive rights to the Europa games.
