Thanjk you.

it is - we just don't look either confident enough or strong enough to fight for 4th and go for the europa - there are other teams there that will be going all out to win it.
It just shows how **** football is nowadays - finishing 4th in the league is more important than winning what is the UEFA cup.
i own everton fans on the internet....that's what i do

I think UEFA cup is derided too much though, UEAF needs to promote it further and even out the prize money if possible in order to make more lucrative and entertaining, there are decent teams in it but the financial gap between them is out of proportion - it would also help the smaller teams to improve.

I saw one earlier today for Milan v Mancs - and yes, it was a ****er.
Me too
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
And if AM hadn't also been knocked down to the Europa League, he would have been fine to play for us...but as they are now in here with us, the chance of us meeting is there, so it would represent a conflict of interests to have Maxi playing.
How would it be a conflict of interests? He's our player now, it's not like he's on loan to us from them

aye - UEFA just saw the money - they went all out with the champions league, made a **** load of money and ruined the UEFA cup.

Since you can qualify for the Europa League via the Champions League but not other way round then the Europa League is obviously the more important and prestigious competition.

. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

We have a chance of winning it but there are strong teams in the competition so we shouldn't assume we should win it, I think we sometimes fall into the trap of thinking everything comes to us if we show up.
The way we have been playing and due to the fact we HAVE to get fourth I think the following teams, at least, will pose a threat.
Everton - Sporting Clube de Portugal
Hertha BSC Berlin - SL Benfica Villarreal CF - VfL Wolfsburg
R. Standard de Liège - FC Salzburg
FC Twente - Werder Bremen
LOSC Lille Métropole - Fenerbahçe SK FC Rubin Kazan - Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC AFC Ajax - Juventus
Club Brugge KV - Valencia CF Fulham FC - FC Shakhtar Donetsk
Liverpool FC - FC Unirea Urziceni Hamburger SV - PSV Eindhoven
Athletic Club - RSC Anderlecht
FC København - Olympique de Marseille
Panathinaikos FC - AS Roma Club Atlético de Madrid - Galatasaray AŞ
One step at a time. We should worry about FC Unirea Urziceni first.

Would everyone agree that anything less than winning it would be disappointing?
no.
seriously couldnt give a toss about the europa league. be nice to win something this year but i have no respect for this trophy so if we dont win it then no big deal.
People who think there's no good way to die have obviously never heard the phrase 'Drug-fuelled-sex-heart-attack'.

Why would there be a conflict of interest? We own his registration now, we didn't loan him. That's like saying Benni McCarthy shouldn't play against Blackburn in any competition because it's a conflict of interest.
I have to say I never really understood the whole 'cup tied' thing anyway, I can see the case for players on loan, but other than that what's the point?
