also the cup and league cup winners play in the europa league , losers??? think not...

I call it the Loser cup cause Franz Beckenbauer called the UEFA Cup the "Loser Cup" now it's the Europa league. no matter what you call it it's still the Loser Cup. The only thing top clubs play for are the league title and Champion league title everything else is 2nd rate unless they reach the final of their respective cup game IE: FA Cup and so on.

To be fair the whole European competitions are a joke.. Liverpool won the UCL in 2005 after finishing 4th.. Its not the Champions League at all and should be done under trades description..

If i was in charge of UEFA I'd do the following:

Re-brand the Champions League back to the European Champion Clubs' Cup and only allow the CHAMPIONS of each domestic league and the previous seasons European Champion Clubs' Cup winners in (if not qualified already)

The Europa League would be open to the 2nd place teams down to 4th and winners of domestic cup competitions (depending on place allocation to national leagues)

The winners of the Europa League would also get a buy into the European Champion Clubs' Cup for the next season.

This would make the Europa League a credible competition again and worthy of winning

Also once you were knocked out, that would be it.. knocked out.. no dropping down into the Europa League from the European Champion Clubs' Cup

Its not a loser cup at all... Whoever calls it a mickey mouse cup or the loser cup need to get over themselves, seriously, Its a european cup and a cups a ****ing cup at the end of the season.
There are some good teams wanting to win this cup, we are one of them, Its a lovely cup aswell, real nice, Unfortunately we didnt qualify for CL but we did the Europa League..
So lets win it.

And since when did anybody give a shit what Beckenbaur says, Stop latching onto other peoples opinions and try have some faith we can end the 6 year drout.

I don't think they would have offered to sponsor them if that had happened, today was a one off

I see, Thought they always wore the name.

**opsmonkey** · 19th February, 2011, 08:45 PM

no.. they normally have a local sponsor for home shirts and another for away..

It happened the other year when Bath Town made it to the 3rd Round.. Nationwide did a one match deal

So let me get this right. You left me Vermin Rep for being a Man Utd fan? Or was it the fact i pointed out you were being an ass in the Man Utd Thread?
