It really is a flip of a coin for me however I fell on the side of NO and that was because I see the extra travelling, stupid lunchtime sunday kick offs for very little money and/or glory not worth it. I would far rather us concentrate on a real challenge and guaranteeing cl footy for the season after. Theres nothing wrong with going balls out for the carling & fa cups if we want to blood our youth in the tradition of winning.

It's a trophy we should have a chance of winning, so yes, we should want to be in it. In the early rounds we can rest big players and play the kids in the early rounds.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.

It will also help Kenny cut his teeth in European football (before we hopefully return to the CL the following season).Originally posted by The Birdman View PostWin as many games as we can and finish as high as we can.
We're not good enough to be turning our noses up at European football, plus it will be tremendous opportunity to play the kids in more games to bring on their developmentWe come not to play.

I want us to aim to win as many trophies as we possibly can. More games equals more revenue and also gives a chance for the youngsters to be blooded. How will being in the EL help us attrack top talent in the summer compared to being out of the EL? I don't know, but can't do us any harm at all.
I know the Thursday - Sunday games are ****, but on a positive note we'll be on TV a lot more if we're in the EL.
Depressing when you compare it to us getting to the CL QF / SF / F most years, but let's make the best of what we've got.

Although I find little difference in playing Sunday or Saturday.

I really don't care either way.
If we do get fifth then there'll be some more games to watch and the club will make some money. And if we don't then the team can concentrate on domestic competitions and we have more games on Saturday.
But mainly I don't care because I can't do anything about it so I'll just go with what happens and look for the upside rather than the downside..
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.
May the Lord bless this post.

Robotic or not (not actually), it's how I feel..

Aye that's the thing for me...these Europa games would give the youngsters a game as well as other players that aren't playing week in week out in the League games.Originally posted by SB View PostI can't stand the Thurs Sunday thing but it may help attract players for next season and it gives the youngsters a chance so that just tips the scales for me.
Whether you want it or not, i don't think it's happening tbh.
Can see Spurs beating B'ham with ease, and we're away at Villa - never an easy fixture.

Neither are gimmes IMO. If Brum get a hiding they could go down on goal difference so they will be up for it. Hopefully Villa are on holidays alreadyOriginally posted by Rudo View PostAye that's the thing for me...these Europa games would give the youngsters a game as well as other players that aren't playing week in week out in the League games.
