Europa Conference League 2021/22; potential QR2 vs Honka Espoo

[Aleksic]

Europa league is that. This is poor mans version

Europa is the continuation of the Uefa, though a bit easier than in the old days as now more good teams go into the champions league.

The Cup winners cup was always the weakest European competition, just as this new one sees to be.

We won the inaugural Uefa cup and I wouldn't turn my nose up if we won this, we are European pioneers after all. I'll take any European trophy to be honest.

 

[Tottenham Sean]

Yep.

We were first UEFA Cup Winners, would be nice to be the first winners of this competition, 50 years later

We are in it,so lets give it our all.

 

[SpiderSpurs]

I may be in a minority but I am really looking forward to taking my seat in August to watch European Football, irrespective of the actual comp.

[spursmalc]

no, don't think i did. If you really think the new manager will go strong in this and risk the top 4 then I think you have definitely mis-read the majority opinion and what levy has shown with poch who was told top 4 was the priority. We should use this competition purely to get injured players fit, reserve/fringe players and maybe those we want to send on loan. Doing that will help us more in the long term.

It is this attitude that is why we have not won a trophy. Top 4 is not a trophy but just an entry to the CL.

It is this attitude that is why we have not won a trophy. Top 4 is not a trophy but just an entry to the CL.

We won the Audi Cup in the summer of 2019. That’s sated my appetite for silverware for another decade at least.

[ArcspacE]

Pfizer FC vs Astra Zeneca FC final

Sounds dope

 

[River Lea Banks 🇺🇦]

I'd like to avoid the entire tournament

I would like us to be the first winners of this gem.

 

[FightingIllini]

UEFA changed the away goal rule today. It worked just fine for 56 years. Abolition of the away goals rule in all UEFA club competitions | Inside UEFA

At the end of the day all this means is more penalty shootouts deciding major knockout ties, which is a terrible outcome.

A decision that suffers from the same brain worm as VAR. Football must be fun for spectators above all else. There is no higher value.

 

[Airfixx]

Have you lot just been making up pretend names? These aren't real teams are they, what the fuck is all this?

Why not?

It seems to work every summer during the transfer window.

 

[Paul Gascoigne]

It's my dream to be the 1st winners of this new competition.

If we achieve this we get to qualify for the following years Europa League !

 

[cretinousgoat]

This cup is a joke, and I think we are s bit of a joke for even being in this tin pot conference shit..
Think we should just get out of it right away, we won't win it anyway as our recent history clearly shows...

Yes because we've got sooooooo many trophies in recent history that we can turn up our noses at it.

Blood some of our youngsters alongside some experience in the group stages, then start taking it more seriously if we reach the latter rounds.

I want a fucking trophy and this one will do for now if we can get it. I quite fancy spurs being the inaugural winners of the European Conference League.

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

I think we may as well win this as it will give us four European trophies to Woolwich's one.

 

[River Lea Banks 🇺🇦]

Do we have to play a play-off? Dear god

 

[Yid7]

Honka have fallen.

Is that Gerard Butlers new film?

 

[Wellsey]

I bet we will be the first team to go out because of the change in the away goals rule?

 

[Airfixx]

If it wasn't for the fact us dropping a place in the league would leave us behind Woolwich, I'd have advocated us losing to Leicester and not had Europe rather than play in this shit.

You're happy for us to lose?

Not a good look.

I enjoyed battering Leicester.... Far from a dead rubber... Both had something to play for. Great game.

 

[Airfixx]

Larne have never lost a European game! Only first time they've ever qualified this year though, 3 wins and draw with Bala Town and Aarhus.

Love a bit of Madness.... Cracking band!

 

[Benfica1904]

Are Pacos any good? Should we be concerned?

Nah, should be 2 relatively easy games for you guys. Unless you're very complacent and don't take them seriously... Having a portuguese manager should prevent that, he knows they're not a bunch of farmers. These will be massive games for Paços Ferreira, so they will give 110%
