I wish we were out of the Europa

[persvenality cult]

We can improve our UEFA co-efficient considerably, which will help next year in the CL.

Rags co get easy draws every single time because of the 200+ points they've accrued over the 4 year period.

Think I'm right in saying that you get more points for finishing in the Semi's of the Europa than the Quarter's of the CL.

We've got a few saved up from the last Europa campaing, add on the few more we get every year, for being in a good league, and a final appearance would send us shooting up the rankings.

Crap tournament, too many games and very little kudos for winning it. I wish we were out because it's just a distraction. What say you?

yeah i'd much rather we went for the more prestigious carling cup!!!........a blue wishing their team out of a cup i think i've fuckin seen it all now. 'very little kudos for winning it'.....we've won nowt for 34 years and your moaning about not enough kudos winning it!!!.......i hope i've not been clarkied here.....are you serious?

Can't believe some of the shit i read sometimes. It may have escaped your attention but we have not won much for a while. We are certainly not in a position to turn our noses up at a competition that we are amongst the favourites to win.

On another note the aways are great too.

Well fucking said! Jesus, I thought it would take us a lot longer to get as arrogant as the Rags, but we're getting there in double quick time. Who the fuck are we, trophyless for so long it's fucking embarrassing, to say a competition is not worth competing in!

Probably the worst thread ever posted on bluemoon.

Not won a sodding thing in 35 years and here is someone who wants us to go out of a prestigious cup that we are favourites to win.

Word's fail me sometimes with certain "city fans" since the takeover.

Have a word with yourself please. For me it is still the UEFA cup. A top draw trophy that we can win. All the years in the wilderness of not playing in Europe now your turning your nose up at it. FFS get a grip Pam

And even if we win the Europa League, we then play the Champions League winner in the UEFA Super Cup. Not only does the winner of that receive €50m and the loser receives €10m, but I think it will be very interesting to see how we compare against the winner of the CL this season, whether it be Barca, Madrid etc.

if we get to the quarters everyone will be loving it two wins then we are in the final! when was the last time we were in a final?(a proper one) 81...........we got to make it a habbit to get to finals......

Did`nt realise there was so much money involved in the super cup, jeez no wonder the sky4 have been able to lord it over the rest of the league for years, whats the prize money for reaching the later stages of the Europa cup ?

In reply to the OP everything is good about this cup as far as i`m concerned, especially as we have a large squad, don`t you get a little sense of pride at being in Europe ? also i`ve met some top blues on my travels and locals too, I would urge anyone to at least do one trip abroad watching city if you can, its lifetime memories :))
