Yup. Obviously my feelings on this have been exacerbated today by this bunch winning it, but no drop out should get a second chance. The Europa League itself would be less bloated without them too.Quote:

Isn't Platini thinking of essentially getting rid of the Europa by having a giant Champions League with like 64 teams or something as ridiculous?
Or was that madey-uppy?
It would also help do away with the perception that it's 2nd rate and a consolation prize. The competition needs to stand on it's own.Quote:

Go back to renaming the Uefa Cup for FFS Platini.
Is Mata the only tolerable Chelsea player?
It's annoying, he needs to leave.
Yep, Mata and Torres are the only players I like from Chelsea
Honest Frank too.Quote:

I can live with that.
Remember I was at a mates party, 10 years back or so, we had a Fa Cup game , and Lampard scored to take it into a replay. Ruined the whole mood,and I've disliked him since.
All things aside though, Lamps is a fantastic player.
It was sadly inevitable. I'd rather they played well and beat the other team 4-0 than this Satan-endorsed bastardry.
Benfica just surrendered the League and the Europa League to last-minute winners in successive games. Surprised they haven't got the razors out yet.
The host coverage was so bad. Why do we need 5-minute shots of people in the crowd while there's a match going on? Morons.
Time to bring Rafa home?
They just keep winning trophies regardless of who manages them.
Who says money doesn't make a difference?
Read a stat Benfica lost in their last 7 finals (8 now), :haha:Quote:

Maybe we are underestimating just how good a manager Big Man is.Quote:

Bought all three trophies, not won. They aren't even good shoppers tbh. With the amount they have spent they haven't got much to show for it.
