Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United? You would be talking of a combined attendance approaching 165,000. That would never be beaten. I'd rather play them in the final in Stockholm. It would only be a 30,000 plus crowd though.

When's the earliest we can face them? I'd play them sooner rather than later.

But the Meejah is already raving about Man Yoo going to get to 3 cup finals already.

Without considering we are still on for a glorious treble of League, FA & Europa Cups. Bastards.

I suspect on Thursday we will have broken the record for a UEFA attendance to go with our CL one earlier in the year.
Last time I looked there didn't look like more than a few thousand seats left.

If we could get to the latter stages we'd be selling out Wembley at full price and could make more money from a combined CL/Europa run than we ever would have in the CL (assuming we would have never made it past the quarter finals).

Would make for an interesting future 'business' decision if the benefits of dropping into the Europa outweighed staying in the CL.
More money, more chance of winning, able to rotate players, same end result, ie, a trophy and a CL place.

Classic Spurs supporters this. Talking about United in Europe and an Arsenal final in the FA cup.

Chances are we get dumped out of both cups the first time we play a decent side :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Doesn't the vast majority of income from Europe come from the TV companies?...we might make more in gate receipts but thats not the full story.
