The policy of rotation adopted by premier league teams is a cancer imo...

We are the only nation that degrades the uefa cup, it looks amazing there tonight & if atletico were to win theyd most likely lift the uefa cup & finish top 4 so it can be done!!!

English teams need to respect the competition more, id give anything to be there with spurs tonight...looks amazing

The game is about glory!!!

Agree. Although i'd argue that UEFA themselves degraded the tournament when they turned it into a cheap less important version of the champions league. If they reintroduced it as a pure cup competition it would be much better imo.

put more money into it and that would solve everything.

Not to mention that the winner should be awarded a place in the CL.

For all of those reasons above and also we would finish in the top 4 in Spain and could do well in the Europa, I would say our league is more hard fought from 3rd to 6th place. Therefore more effort and energy needs to go into it.

Gibbospurs has a fetish with giving me negative comments. If only I knew who the fuck he actually was :barefoot:

EDIT: Just remembered, he thought Pav would score more than Adebayor. That explains it.

I agree would love to have been playing tonight. We'd get our ass handed to us by either of these teams tho

Agreed, it's comparing apples and oranges

It upsets me that at different points we could have signed Llorente and Falcao.

And, probably Munian in the future.

We should respect the Inter-City Fairs Cup and Cup Winners Cup too. Why aren't we winning more cups that don't exist any longer!!!!

Has Llorente ever wanted to leave Bilbao, regardless of who wanted him and how much they were willing to pay?

Was Falcao really attainable for us when he left Porto for €40m? He joined them from River Plate in 2009, you can always argue that we could have gone for him them but it's not like he was that shit hot a prospect at the time.

I didn't even realise this was on until I saw someone mention it on Twitter.​

Produces some good games near the end of the competition but it has been so devalued by the amount of games played and the whole 3rd place in the CL group debacle I prefer us just to use this competition to blood in some youngsters.​

We wouldn't be where we are now in the league if we played our first 11 for the Europa League as well, in my opinion, and I'd rather be in our league position now than to maybe be a few league places lower but in the Europa League final.
