Have not seen the match but we are so poor defensively, it's really annoying. I would've been happy with the draw but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I did catch the goals though and apart from the coates own goal (what the fuck was he doing?), they were all quite nice from both sides. The suarez free kick was amazing. Need to get a result against Anzi, which won't be easy. Can only hope.

Found shelvey's goal celebration quite funny.

I'm with Henry hill on this it may as well become a straight knock out competition really and truly. It's not treated important therefore no one really cares about it bar the teams who rarely hit Europe.

As for yesterday the goals we let in were all weak as hell especially the first one just let the walk through us. We really need to tighten up

solution to europa league not being taken seriously:

if you win, you get a champions league place

simple as that

Less teams.
Two-legged knockout all the way to the final.
Name change to UEFA Cup/ Konami Cup.
Automatic qualification to the CL group stages for the winner.
Stop managers spouting out platitudes pre-game and instead force them to cut intense promos on anybody that has irked them during the build up.

Moar like this:

Remember totally spazzing out when Geli nodded in from the Gary Mac ball into the DANGER ZONE.

Teams like Bilbao and some other spanish teams take the Europa league very seriously. Look at last season for example, some Bilbao players were crying when they lost the final.

I'd throw into that as well take out the 3rd place champion Leagues loser place as well. Then maybe it won't feel second class to the champions league

AC milan are now worthy contenders of the champions league. They beat Zenit with hulk. Now everyone must take us serious. Because if you don't prepare to feel the striking prowess of the prodigy of El Sharaawy.

FORZA MILAN~!

I'm loving the euro experience, probably because of where we were just 2 years ago. The winners should definitely get a Champions League spot. If you win the euro league you're more than qualified for the CL. Last nights game was awesome, dominant performance against the top seeds in the group. Should be favourites for it now. Hopefully it becomes a very good cup run.
