One thing that really pissés me off about Europe is the system of proven losers getting to enter a later stage of a lower tier European competition.

It seems so unfair that those who go through qualifying and/or grouo stage success in the Europa are suddenly hijacked by a bunch of losers who failed badly in the champions league.

It's just got even worse now, not only do we see the losers from the first tier champions league 'rewarded' with another go at wrecking the efforts of the second tier completion Europa League. Now it's the second tier failures who are 'rewarded' by making a mockery of the third tier Conference trophy - (or whatever the competition for failures is called).

If the CL were a fair competition I'd agree but for a team like Zenit let's say wouldn't they then just want to opt out of the CL? Because a draw with Juve and Chelsea pretty much means they're getting 6 games and being done in Europe but they are probably good enough to go deep in the Europa are they not?

So while I get the frustration at having someone like Atletico drop I think it is actually quite beneficial simply because the top half of the CL is so unfairly better than a lot of teams rounding out the competition.
 
I’d rather be in the best competition in the world .

imagine sporting Lisbon thought like that ?

like I said very amusing way of looking at it.
Sporting Lisbon could lift Europa and instead they'll be gloriously beaten by 5 goals on aggregate. As a fan I'm not sure I'd be too bothered either way.
 
Will probably end up here in January and we will get stitched up over the fee:(

I'd be done with football if that happened.

To be honest I might already be done. I didn't bother watching us against City and haven't watched anything for a bit now and been happier for it.
