I want to win the Europa League.

Sorry

But i'd be disappointed now to come so far and not win it. I've now got my heart set on becoming the 1st English club to have won all 3 European Trophies.

I agree top 4 is more important, before i get told.

But? Jose's either coming back, or he's not. I don't think Champions League next season will have an influence on that one way or another.

I just want us to win/draw tonight and win in Amsterdam.

I realise most of you rate this lower than the Captial One Cup, or even lower than the SPL but i want it now we're this far.

Plus i think it's really only England that really have such a low opinion of the competition.

I understand there is a certain completeness to it, but that's where it ends. Decent trophy, decent opposition, bridesmaids trophy

Exactly my feelings about it

It's a trophy at the end of the day and if we win it we get to face the European champions. Hope we succeed

IT's a joke because chelsea got chuted into this tourney after being knocked out of the CL. Time to end that setup and make the two tournaments completely different entities, as well as give the champion a pass into the champions league group stages

You're just a Johnny come lately Flash, wanted us to win the Europa since we entered into it.

The fact it's a competition we'll rarely get the chance to participate in provides it's own little prestige. We'd be given a second chance to right one of this season's worst performances with a consecutive Super Cup appearance. We'd become only the 4th team to complete the European clean sweep of CL, EL, CWC (cup winners cup) and SC. It would continue a trophy per season average in the Roman era.

4th place should remain a higher priority, but the Europa shouldn't be disguarded as a preemptive measure, only in the case of a direct either or choice.

I didn't create many articles devoted to the subject, commented on quite a few of Biggish's where he stated 4th as the priority.

That's the only article i can remember I've created where i mentioned it in passing. Created approx 6 months ago.

TP

Will top that in the morning am on a $hitberry at this moment.

But I declared at end of last season and also before 3afa's 1st game in Europe, I wanted to win Europa.

As I recall Frankie (Superb) backed me up.

Another even went on to say we the English treat the Europa with disrespect.

Yr quote 'now to come so far and not win it' lead me to believe you placed value on our progress rather than the competition itself - hence you'd have been a Johnny come lately
