  1. But then it could never end! We could be playing Lille for 85 years.
  2. Extra time is so crap and outdated. Needs to be gone altogether and games should go straight to penalties
  3. Might as well go all out this second half to grab a goal. Really don’t fancy us having to go to extra time when we have the weekend to think about.
  4. You are moaning about something that isn’t even there. A few people have said they’d prefer to get champions league over winning the ECL in response to a hypothetical question. If that ‘makes you sick’ then I think you need to start taking a look at what’s happening elsewhere in the World currently.
  5. Yea, but the question was, win the ECL and get a trophy or finish in champs league…
  6. Personally for me, being born just before the 90s, I haven’t grown up seeing us win trophies and certainly haven’t been to any parades. So it’s not something I know, or need to experience (Actually seeing that West Ham picture gives me anxiety with those crowds but that’s another issue). If we were to win the ECL, I’d be straight to thinking how can we improve next year to get to where the big clubs are. And I will think that right up to the champions league… if we win that, then I’ll probably become an emotional wreck. Im really sorry but I just can’t get excited about winning a third tier competition. It’s not the pinnacle. Again though, that’s not to say I wouldn’t be delighted with winning it. But I’d just be thinking that we need to reach the next level now.
  7. I would defo choose Villa being in the champions league than going to watch West Ham players on a bus, for sure…
  8. It’s a third tier European competition… ultimately it’s not a huge amount better than those pre season tournaments we took part in and won! Look, winning a trophy, is great. Good to see, something to celebrate, etc etc. But champions league is the primary competition that we need to be competing in. We need it for a whole host of reasons. It’s what’s going to push us to another level. I’ve just realised that we are actually arguing over Villa being in the champions league and winning a trophy for another competition. Strange times eh.
  9. Play in the best competition in club football against the best sides… or win a third level European competition that’s for teams finishing 6th, 7th or 8th in their leagues and has teams knocked out of the competition above it which can enter at a late stage… I stand by my decision I’m afraid. Champions League over winning ECL
  10. Well it will be both German teams going through. Arsenal & Liverpool going out wouldn’t help. (I think Bayern will beat Arsenal tomorrow).
  11. It’s not really about that currently because 4th is something we can sort of control. It’s more the fact that the PL is now unlikely to get another champs league spot based on results from tonight’s Dortmund v Atleti game.
  12. I just want to see us turn a profit… No but seriously… we NEED champs league.
  13. It literally has to be B. There’s a lot riding on being in the champions league which will mean a whole load of progression and commercial benefits. Winning a trophy would be lovely and all but as a business, we need to be playing on the big stage.
  14. And….We might not be able to continue that. We could lose to Bournemouth this weekend… we could also win. Sure. Personally, if 5th isn’t going to be CL then I’d be happy with us exiting the ECL to just have prem games to play. If we win the ECL and still secure 4th then I’d still obviously be delighted. I’m not an animal.
  15. I think if it becomes impossible to secure that 5th spot for the PL, then we will HAVE to focus on the league to land 4th place. We’d essentially need to throw the ECL.
