The group stage should be scrapped it adds too many unnecessary games.
Not many people out there that like the Europa League, i cant say im one of them really as i think its an honour when your club get into Europe. The only thing i dislike about it is the fair play award, i dont see how you can chuck some tin pot club into Europe who have good discipline. Alot moan because games are on a Thursday night and the grounds are sometimes empty, it can be annoying at times seeing a ground half empty thinking if that was my club it would be different, i remember going back to when clubs like Bolton & Boro were in Europe and the ground was half full.
IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE A BIT OF BANTER, THEN BUILD A BRIDGE & GET THE FUCK OVER IT!

My old man said to me "be an Ars*nal fan" I said "fuck off, bollocks, you're a cunt" we took the North Bank in half a minute, we took the Shelf with the Chelsea in it, we hammered the hammers with carving knives and spanners, we taught the Millwall how to fight so I'll never be a gunner, every cunt is a runner, that's what I told my old man.
I like the Europa League as I tend to see the teams from Eastern Europe play. It would seem that English teams take it less serious than the rest of Europe.

Yeah its a good competition, really enjoyed both seasons that Middlesbrough were in it, especially when we got to the final, was amazing, the 4-0 defeat wasn't so amazing lol![]()

Europa is a brilliant competition, It gives a brilliant opportunity to some of the lower European leagues, I think that only top 5 leagues call it a joke but it is a great tournament for any new up and coming leagues like Russia for example.
at the end of the day, its still a European tournament.
Ive only been to 1 european game this season with my team as was soooooo Bored, even though a full house (no Beer) and 2 nil up, I left after an hour to go to the pub!
No beer as per Europa rules is crap, the 1st leg (in their yard) was a different set of rules, smoking and drinking allowed, even the English radio pundits were moaning about the Blues fans smoking!
