Delighted to be in the competition and can't wait, but it's fine to be realistic and say we aren't going to win the entire tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be playing Leipzig, Brugge and Glimt. I want the giants. I honestly don't care if we go out in the "group" stage. I'd like us to go through, sure. But I'd honestly rather play Bayern, Real Madrid, Juventus, PSG etc and go out in the "group" than play the easier teams in the competition and go through. In future seasons it would be different. But for this one I want the occasion, not necessarily the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know.

I'm not predicting who we'll get. I'm purely saying that for our first campaign in 42 years I'd rather get the big, glamorous (but harder) ties over the small, less glamorous (but easier) ties. Even though the latter would give us a better chance of qualifying because it would be a "luckier" draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to play against the best 8 teams in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get a couple of easier(ish) teams at home and manage to win this would bring more money and also 6-8 points might be enough to get to the playoff round, or whatever it’s called.

Davkaus Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) To each their own but I'd rather have a deep run into the competition and enjoy winning some european nights than have some big nights out at the bernabeu and san siro and get spanked, but enjoy the occasion like we're some non-league team rocking up at Old Trafford I'd love the easiest group we can get, we'll say hi to Madrid and Bayern at the business end Edited May 15 by Davkaus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
