I don't miss the CL either, the group stages were a bore and as soon as we got through to the last 16 we knew we'd get thumped, the lack of unpredictability made it boring, I much preferred the days when I thought we had a shot.
At least we have a chance of winning the Europa, yes it's a poor quality competition in comparison but at least it's achievable and we qualify for the CL if we win it anyway.
