Want to go to AZ but consider the following =
Ajax are at home to Frankfurt that night
Frankfurt usually bring thousands
It a doable train ride from there to the Dam
The Goons are in Holland the night before.

What could possibly go wrong? 😀

Have no worries; there’ll be a multi-fan zone set up in Dam Square; by UEFA and sponsored by Heineken and Hankook Tires for any supporters of the clubs involved ( with and without tickets ) to mingle , enjoy sponsor-subsidised lager and generally celebrate football and the beneficence of UEFA .

As you say; what could possibly go wrong ?

# nothing surprises me anymore.

FC Basel once a decent side but now struggling in Swiss top league I think

For Aussie football fans a famous club. Signed an attacking midfielder from Wollongong on the New South Wales south coast. He played many seasons for them and won everything in the Basel heydays of the early noughties. And to think he used to be a bus driver lol. The great Scott Chipperfield. He actually still lives there, married a Swiss girl and his son Liam plays for Basel.
Anywho, I digress.

What makes you think we'll "cruise" into the top four next year if the fraud is still here?

Not been in Europe makes a massive difference. I just think we'd make top 4 if it happened.

I honestly don't care where we finish in the league this season. Hate to see us losing so would love us to finish as high as possible but whether we finish 7th or 14, it genuinely won't effect my mood over the summer. I won't be losing sleep over it!

However, what we do in the Europa League defines our season and that will effect my mood over the Summer! Winning it would be a dream. Making the final or semi final would be a good effort that would make me proud at least. Anything below that would be a huge dissapointment!

Why does this make you angry? Just my opinion! Worst case scenario is we don't qualify for Europe next year so we'd be back to 1 game a week and will comfortably qualify for Europe the following year. That's just how the cycle works.

What we need to do is break the cycle by competing in Europe and qualifying for Europe in the same season which is something we haven't done since 18/19

And, at the same time as running a circus in England.
Hard to believe in this day and age but I once saw a man put his head in a lion's mouth.

Get Dom, Romero, VdV back and I think we have huge chance.

League position means next to nothing in comparison. Rest players as needed in PL games. Attack this competition.

About 20m in prize money for winning the ropey league.

We're currently 13th in the PL and that's worth more.
Going from 13th to 6th would "win" us more than an additional £20m to boot.

In summary, financially speaking, you've got it backwards.

Winning the Europa League gets us in the CL and much more likely than making up the 13 points on Chelsea who are currently 6th. Money from next year's CL trumps the extra PL money this season. Also gets a trophy a feat that has been missing since 2008.
You sound like Levy more interested in the money than Glory.

You've posted a couple of times about next season's top 4...seriously, what makes you think that's going to happen? Especially if he’s still here...

Listen. I'll keep this short and sweet because I've had around 8 beer

We are 4-1 up away at Ipswich. We would have lost this game of we'd a European game midweek. There is your evidence!

No European football and we've a fit and fresh team every weekend and it is worth well over 10 points across this season. This season where we've also been balancing an injury crisis it's probably worth 20+ points.

If you can't see that then I can't help you. That's just how I see it and why I'm not panicking about our league form this season

You do seem to have forgotten the last 18 months...however we obviously have a completely different stance so let's see how the rest of the season plays out and hopefully you'll be right and I'll be wrong

Look mate. If we can’t compete in both cups and the league then what the fuck is the point of the football club. Our ambitions must include cup runs. It’s that simple. When you haven’t won a trophy in nearly 20 years, you have to prioritize cups.

Yes, as long as we make the last 16.
Not a huge difference to the Europa league at the group stage now I think.
Not to mention, greedy bollocks would have to add some proven quality to the squad to actually compete in it.

I'm only speculating what I think the boards priority is tbh. In seasons gone, definitely Champions League. But I'm no longer convinced they'd push the boat out to get in it, compete in it and stay in it.
