Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	Thought I'd create a topic for both competitions. Has anyone been paying attention to the qualifying rounds? West Ham only managed to squeeze through on penalties. I find myself saying it a lot, but I'll never understand why English teams don't seem to take the Europa League seriously. I know they qualified in the end, but what's the point in risking elimination by playing a weakened team? My cousin is a West Ham fan and is talking a lot about expectations for this season, but I think he's overreaching. He wants European qualification and a good Europa League run, but I don't think they're capable of either. The top 6 is seemingly locked up, in whatever order, and Southampton and Swansea will most likely be behind them. They'll do well to finish in the top half. Celtic seemed to qualify comfortably, although my Grandad wasn't happy with some of the performances. He said the scorelines flattered them and if they had been facing a team with better finishers, it would have been a lot closer. He's never happy with them though :P

I thought for certain when I was watching the draw that they'd top the group... Van Gaal out at the end of the season I say.

Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	England could really do with a team getting a long run in either of the European competitions, preferably multiple teams. I think we're at risk of losing a Champions League qualification spot because of the poor run our teams have had in Europe as of late.

So doubt that'll happen. How seriously do you guys think Van Gaal will take the Europa League?

So doubt that'll happen. There's only 3 points between them, England has 69 and Italy has 66. In the past 2 years, Italy have had 1 finalist in the Champions League and 3 semi-finalists in the Europa League, whereas England have only had 1 semi-finalist, Chelsea in the Champions League, so it's closer than you'd think.

Juventus_ finalist in Champions League Napoli_ finalist in Europa League Juventus last year was an exception, ever since 2010 they didn't get any further than quarter finals. Juventus is also the only Italian team that can seriously compete in the CL, Napoli, Lazio, Roma, the Milano clubs are all very lacking these days. And Napoli was not a finalist in the EL, they were semi-finalist. Besides, it's only the EL, to put that feat into perspective: Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk achieved 2nd place.

Google Chrome	still Italy had more teams in both competitions when all the british teams were eliminated, and speaking of European Competitions, you should know that Italian teams have won more cups in Europe. and as for Juventus, they were absent from Europe all these years because they've been in Serie B and after their promotion they needed some years to rebuild their club economically.

I'd be surprised if Arsenal score more than one goal.

Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	Last 16 draw for Europa League: Shakhtar v Anderlecht Basel v Sevilla Villarreal v Bayer Leverkusen Athletic Bilbao v Valencia Liverpool v Manchester United Sparta Prague v Lazio Borussia Dortmund v Tottenham Hotspur Fenerbahce v Braga. Quite a few juicy ties there, but LIVERPOOL VS MAN UNITED, that's a massive tie, first time in Europe. Honestly, we haven't had the greatest luck against United of late, so I'm not too optimistic, but really looking forward to it.

Kind of underwhelming that it comes in the Europa League though lol. Should be good though, hopefully we (Utd) get a few of our injured first team players back by then.
