Re: Re: Europa League draw

Actually I think I got it wrong as we get 4 points as a bonus for reaching last 16 plus an extra point. so it could be 8 points for the final and 9 if we win. That could just be enough to get us into Pot 2 next season so winning the EL could be very helpful to us.

Are you not forgetting how many we get for each win?

There is a thread about this. Portp got something like 30 points for winning it last year.

Only in the group stages do you get points for a win/draw. We've got those already. But Porto did get 28 points for winning it last year (plus their country coefficient).

If you look at Porto's points tally from last year it includes 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw right through the comp. Then various bonus points for progressing through the stages, then the country co-efficient.

I see the BBC don't know about the the Europa League, are they trying to deny that it includes united ? Not even on their website as "news" just the fixtures if you dig deep enough, and England has more interest in it than in the champions league.

THERE ARE SOME BLOODY GOOD CLUBS IN THERE!!

Some quality clubs in that mix, who may or may not be what they were, and/or having good seasons, but this is not going to be a cake walk to a trophy at all. We could end up playing in Turkey ...god help the Blues who make the trip over there!! We could end up playing in Poland or Ukraine during a freezing winter....im sure Mario, Silva and our foreign boys will love that.

I dont want this tournament one bit. The added bonus that we may face the Rags and be able to knock them out has lightened it all a little for me, if that even ends up happening. However, I would much rather we had no more European footy this year and just cracked on with the domestic front, which will surely (january and postponements and fixture pile ups) prove hard enough for us.

Suarez , Rekik and co. go and get some valuable European experience and let's crack on domestically. Win the bloody thing if we can, but by no means will a) it be easy and b) should we place a lot of time and effort into it.

Just my thoughts.

You know what? That's not what it says on the UEFA web-site but I think you're right as it's the only way I can get to 28 points. They won 5 and drew 1 of the group stage games, giving them 11 points then won 7 of their nine knock-out games giving them 14 and a total of 25. They also got 3 bonus points (although I thought it should have been 4).
