other matches this weekend

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Did that *word censored* on BT Sport really just say "it's up for grabs now" as that spammer *word censored* ran through on goal?

The concept of a third European competition is actually a good idea, christ knows we had some unbelievable highs (and depressing lows) playing in the cup winners cup back in the 90s.

Problem is UEFA killed that concept by allowing every Tom, Dick & Harry into the European Cup/UEFA cup.

Back then the third tier competition had real merit consisting of teams that won their domestic cups, now it’s to allow the 7th placed teams in Italy, Spain, Germany and England have something to do of a Thursday night.

It’s absolute tin pot.
I think the idea is correct and the execution of it is okay too. What you’re suggesting sounds good but then it’ll be essentially a lesser quality CL/EL competition where the domestic cup holders of your big 5 leagues play for a cup. What happens if those domestic cup holders are already in Europe as are the runner ups? Creates chaos
That’s exactly my point, by bloating the numbers in the first 2 competitions UEFA killed the requirement for the third so they did away with it.

Now they’ve brought it back due to greed and in a bid to appease the clubs form the bigger leagues to allow even more of them .play in a midweek competition.

7 out of the 20 PL clubs now qualify for Europe, no doubt some day it will be all 20 :roll:

The emirates cup is of a higher standard than this shite FFS.
100% on the money rodders. I'd love it to go back to the old European Cup, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners Cup format. Of course it never will. But they were three better competitions than the current three. Especially the European Cup. How the fuck can you have a "Champions" League full of teams that finished second and third ffs? Utter shite dictated by greed. :roll:

Do t mind West Han winning this as it is quite low level as has been mentioned.

However….just put on the TV news this morning and it is the news headlines!
You would have thought that they had just won the Champions League or even the World Cup with the level of coverage :banghead:

Reminder - this is a tournament that excludes every half decent team in Europe so it is hardly a major trophy!

The fact that the scum couldn't even qualify for it next season makes it all the funnier.

Also the fact they struggled in it last year and went out albeit on a technicality

I’m reading an article in the Evening Standard - it is titled “How West Ham came to rule Europe”

Do you think the press/media/ commentators would have gone this overboard if we'd won the Europa, would they fuck.

It's the olde Englande thing. The media love the shammers because their captain was the England captain a hundred years ago or whenever the fuck he stole that necklace was. :lol:

To me they will always be the murdering filth that stabbed a Gooner to death. Utter fucking vermin. :censored:

Next season let’s create the European Ryman League. It will only be for teams not in any top division. When Leeds or Southampton win it they will be described as Kings of Europe. :barscarf:

I was thinking the same. Would we have had a parade if we had won this trophy?

Like claiming you've been to more countries than someone else and including the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Dogs.

They're claiming, I'd imagine, that they've won the cup winners cup and then these two more recent Christmas cracker prizes. Actually, if the Europa Conference is Christmas cracker, fuck knows what the Intertoto would be?
