WOW the Europa League :shock:

When does that start :roll:

on a side note....

The Europe League when compared to the Champions League is a bit of a joke LOL
NO... A LOT OF A JOKE LOL a Mickey Mouse competition.
In terms of prestige the difference is like the FA Cup and the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. LOL
Basically its a booby prize if you get knocked out the Champions League too early.....

How about the "Champions League" which is really just another Europe League, after all
finishing fourth in your country gets you qualification :roll: maybe this would be a way of
giving the Europa League some credibility....
If you win the Europa League you automatically qualify for the "Champions League"
