Post match - Sparta Prague

[Daniel 7]

It must be so dull supporting Barca just now

[frank the tank]

use the europa cup as a qualifier for the Euro Super Cup in august!!!

[rudedog]

Play the reserves and not act like it's worth winning.

Why? Clubs only play weakened teams in competitions they deem lesser when they have more important competitions to focus on.

Seeing as all we can get from this years league is qualification to next years Europa league, what you're suggesting is moronic.

The phrase 'cutting off your nose to spite your face' springs to mind.

[CJ]

using the we shouldnt play in the EL

should we stop playing in the prem once we cant mathematically win it?

just use the reserves after that and not demean our first team squad

[Jack D Rips]

It's not a title. It's a piss poor comp for mid table teams.

Mid table teams dont play in europe.

[Drago]

Mid table teams dont play in europe.

Last years finalists under the bodge disagrees.

[Chazza]

Are we at home first in the next round ?

Changed it, away first now apparently, it Uefa dont **** about with the website anymore

[Kenneth]

Let's not pretend otherwise, the Europa League is a pretty **** competition. The division two of European football. Seems more mickey mouse due to all of the recent changes/rebranding etc. I guess it's less embarrassing to win the competition than it is to suffer the indignity of playing on Channel 5 getting knocked out by second rate opposition from Eastern Europe.

[Reece]

[Chazza]

Awesome ...seen that before but didn't realise it was them.

[CJ]

i dont think it is anything but a second rate european competition. however its worth winning for us this season

and **** how steep is that stand.

[BobTheCharmer]

If we were to win this competition it would mean as much as any trophy we've had our hands on in recent times, obviously importance wise it's not the cl; but the fact it would mean Kenny has won us a trophy would make it oh so special. What a return that would be.

Lovely ball for Cole by Spearing. That game will do Cole the world of good, full ninety minutes under his belt. Congrats to dirk, came good in last 20. Lucas was poor, looks tired. Wilson doesn't look good at left back. Ngog has gone backwards. Agger is our barren anderton.
