You guys went over our Europa League post quota... >_>

The quota is usually 'The Europa League exists?' then nothing else. :P

 

 

Anyway, the draws are done and it seems Europe still hates English clubs. Man City's route to the final is hard, no sure why they couldn't have been drawn again Wolfsburg and Benfica. Oh wait, EUFA want their Real Barcelona final again.

And Liverpool getting Dortmond straight after Man U when Dortmond beat Spurs? Instead of any of the other clubs both Dortmond and Liverpool would beat?

Imagine that as a Europa League final, Liverpool vs Dortmond. That would make people watch the Europa.



Hmm, pie.

Those are some good draws.

Madrid always get easy draws...

Enrique beat Atletico 6 out of 6 times so this isn't terrible, but it's still the second hardest draw in my opinion.

This title sucks a bit no? Aren't people tired of the same contenders every single year? How are these matches special when they have the same protagonists over and over again? No wonder no one cares for the Europa League, its like everyone wants to watch the same rich teams play against each other. The Uefa Cup used to be a super prestigious competition, full of passion. Now its all about the UCL just because the oil money flodded European football and suddenly Asians and Americans started to watch it. I really really hope Leicester wins the Premier League. Money is not everything, its not trophies, that's for sure. Sorry about the rant, but this title, really...

I'm sorry for making the title.. lol.. it just nobody on this site seems to care about the Europa League.. we get like 40+ posts on the 2 CL nights and barely 3+ on EL league nights.. i don't know why.. people aren't just as excited to see Fenerbahce, Basel, Anderlecht.. Maybe the format is wrong with too many teams (48 at start and then 8 CL 3rd placed teams inserted in)

- edit - i also feel like its placed on the wrong time of the week, on thursday, after the CL games and just before normal domestic League games.. its like the easiest games not to watch

Sure, I get it. Thursday is an horrible day to have these games. They could have alternating weeks between competitions or something.

Yeah, because it would be guaranteed that Man City, that colossal club with a very rich history, would beat Wolfsburg or Benfica. I hate Benfica, I support Sporting Lisbon, but I really hope they can manage somehow to beat Bayern. That and the current Premier League standings being the final ones would be the best thing to happen to football in a long time. I hope we get Manchester City in the Europa League again and they lose to a small team like Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United out of the UEFA competitions, and the passion fueled Leicester City be champions. Too much money will ruin this sport.

I think we can all agree seeing a smile on Wenger's face warms a man's heart 😊

Good game by Arsenal again, now that everything is lost heh.

Lol Chelsea. Go Leicester.



NiKKoM on 19 March 2016

love it how Leicester scrape out these 0-1 wins... Crystal Palace even hit the bar in the 90's minute.. xD
