Oh, and nice touch bringing on Aquilani to shake a few hands just before the final whistle blows....well done Rafa
Hold on a second.. What would you prefer, being out of the CL in the next round (final 16), with no chance to bring home the silverware or winning the European League?
CL next round....... the Europa league has no credibility, even "powerhouse sides" like Fulham and Everton play their reserves in this one.
Its nothing like when we last won the UEFA CUP.
Like the League cup it has lost a lot of its former glitter and while it would be nice to win "something " this season, I would prefer the chance of winning something that mattered rather than something of "little importance".
Still a cup is a cup and not to be sneezed at so I think we should have a good go this year.
I suppose its like aiming for a top four place rather than going for the title. Its nice to get top four but it doesn't compare to actually winning the title.
What's so desirable in going out in the next round? Winning the UEFA Cup is SILVERWARE, something we desperately need. When people want to see how much your club worth, you show them ALL of your silverware, Fa Cup CL, UEFA etc. I would love to add one (hopefully more) more cup to our already rich museum...
That is pathetic. Settling for second best, when the likes of Arsenal, Mancscum and Chavski are laughing theit poxy little heads off at us....And YOU think there's a positive in that ?
Shows the level of ambition you have....
We are better than the UEFA Cup or whatever poxy guise it now goes under...
