Europa League (merged thread)
Re: Europa League
One step hopefully two steps forward. We haven't progressed in Europe for last 6 seasons, dropping down to the less prestigious tournament might do us some good. What odds would you get on Bayern Munich or Barcelona finishing 3rd in their group, dropping into the Europa League and Arsenal getting them in the last 16? Just be our luck.

Ungrateful bastards! THIS is why we left our beautiful Highbury home and moved to the soulless LEGO bowl.

Re: Europa League
I think if we reach the knockout stage of the UEFA Cup it could be Wengers greatest achievement
Re: Europa League
You actually have to win a two legged tie to get to the round of 16 in this competition.
When the season is falling apart next season, the Wenger fan boys will remind us how we are 'still in the last 32 of the europea league', as opposed to still being in 'the last 16 of the champions league'.
When the season was falling apart during the Christmas period, we were often told the season is still alive as we are 'still in in the last 16 of the CL'. Although, I always felt that was like bragging how you are still alive, despite your pending date with the electric chair. I always wondered, these people who told us not to get to annoyed as we were 'still in the last 16 of the CL' - what did they think was going to happen when we played Bayern.

What will the excuse be if we fail in the Europa League?
Wonder how many will turn up for the first round game against some non event team from Moldova??
More importantly, would they have the bollocks to try to use Cup Tie credits in these games?

Re: Europa League
Three home wins against shit from eastern Europe or Scandinavia, one away win, one draw and a pathetic defeat in the group stage. Knock-out wins against shit Portuguese, French or Spanish teams and then the usual failure in the semis or even final against a fucking bang average bunch of shit nobodies. Media tell us that it's Wenger's greatest achievement. A year's contract extension follows despite us finishing sixth in the league.

yes I suppose we dont get the chance to go to Tottenham next seasonHARLOW GOONER wrote:Bring it on. I'm looking forward to visiting a few backward places.
Re: Europa League
Assuming we finish fifth, i think we would go in at the group stage as I would assume we would be one of the "3 domestic league fifth-placed teams from associations 1–3". If that is the case then it would only take 2 more games (round of 32) than it would to win the champs league. New places to visit for our away fans as well, what's not to like?Wilson wrote:You actually have to win a two legged tie to get to the round of 16 in this competition.

I know mate, who would have thought it eh? Still I'm sure his flock of sheep followers will say that it isn't an important competition and that "football has changed now"GoonerMuzz wrote:SteveO are you by chance insinuating that OGL will not show this competition, one he has never won, due respect?SteveO 35 wrote:Indeed, and I know exactly how this competition will go for us. He'll play some of the promising kids in the early stages and a bit like Vela and Wilshere used to do in the League Cup, there'll be flicks and tricks galore as TO1AW is hailed as some sort of genius for all this young talent he's been nurturing. Roll on to the quarter final stage at the business end of the season and there'll be a monumental balls up against anyone with a hint of defensive organisationPerryashburtongroves wrote:This is just what we need.
