if we won the the EL I'd take escaping relegation on goal difference
Lazy bastard!thanks
do we know on sale dates?
I'mm not being lazy I have been looking online but seen nothing
its shit or bustThe idea that the league should be a priority over this competition, at this juncture especially, is absurd.
There's practically no chance we can qualify for the CL via the league. The EL can provide ±£20M in additional winnings, a CL spot, and a little thing called a trophy.
Entering the Champions League as champions of something instead of the 4th loser of the PL is a hell of a lot more appealing.
The worst case scenario isn't that bad. We'll cruise top 4 next year without Europe
Thats all well and good, but looking at our form we will probably lose to Frankfurt. Hope Im wrong and we can put in a performance.The idea that the league should be a priority over this competition, at this juncture especially, is absurd.

You've obviously got some ITK about the world class manager who's coming in to replace Skippy
I think the league is done. We'd need to win nearly all our games to get back into the top 6! Go full strenght in Europe and rotate in the league has to be the play.

Is my mind failing me or could you buy orange and green tictacs mixed together in the 80’s?it'll neeed a radical change of manager
you know, one who thinks tactics arent a mint to freshen your breath that come in tiny plastic boxes

In which league is that then?Yet they are above PSV and Feyenoord who both won through to the last 16 of the CL.

There are airports at San Sebastián, Vitoria/Gasteiz and Santander, all pretty near though I don't know if you can get flights there from the UK. Also Asturias (near Gijón) which is not that much further away and used to get Easyjet fights.several other airports around surely?
Could even do Bayonne or Birritz just across the border
We'd have to outperform Newcastle and 4 other clubs by 12 points in 13 matches to improve by 5 places, however, which won't happen.Nobody is suggesting we prioritise PL over EL.
The benefits of winning EL are obvious. Crashing out in semi finals or otherwise not winning give some happy memories ..... but no europe next season etc
With the squad we should have back fir in about 2 weeks we should be able to move up PL whilst winning as much as we can in PL, rotating the 20 odd players we have, so we have a potential alternate way back into europe next season if we di not win EL.
BTW moneywise, if we go on to win EL from here we earn about an extra 20m euros or circa £16.5m - each improved place in PL is worth £3m so improving by more than 5 places gives us more cash ! Sad but true ! Spurs need to be in Europe - if we win EL everything good !
