Christ, look at that collection of shite.
Let's just hope we avoid all the long ass journeys to the arse end of Europe.
One of those teams in pot 2 looks Nice.
Honestly I'm looking forward to this. This is a competition we can win and we should take it seriously.

We just lost to Stoke. I doubt the manager will take it seriously and if he did I have no idea how the team will perform.

Wenger has already said the kids will play the early rounds. So he's not taking it seriously at all, in his mind. But he may have fucked up. As I pointed out yesterday, it doesn't look like he has much input with the youth and reserve teams based on the football they are playing, so we might be better off with the kids. Stick in a few deadbeats like Theo to add a bit of experience and we might just end up being entertained.
I know, I know, but it's not impossible.
I'd take it seriously if I was him, it's the only European trophy he'll ever get a sniff of since he'll get nowhere near the PL this is the best thing he can win, having said he'll probably screw that up too like he always does.

I say play the kids and go out early. Then we can play once a week and see where that takes us.

We will play BATE Borisov, Cologne and Red Star Belgrade

I personally am looking forward to seeing Hennes on the sideline having his horns manhandled aggressively by one of their black players.

The excitement is palpable.
At least the club have reduced prices for these shitty games.

Wenger would have gotten us here a lot more quickly had it not been for resistance from the fans. We ruin everything.

I think it my be slightly above us to be honest looking at our previous outing in the competition.

Getting to the final? At a time when there were less champions league spots and there were harder teams in the competition.

The disappointment not to play in the Champions League is great, but quite honestly I do not understand that some fans are talk so arrogant and hopeless attitude to the Europa League. Quite honestly, Arsenal has never won the Champions League or the Europa League/UEFA-Cup. I would be proud if Arsenal could win the Europa League!

It's not arrogance. Not at all. If this was a serious football club and this tournament could realistically be viewed as a milestone on the road to bigger things that should not be beyond the reach of a club like Arsenal, you'd see most fans tuned in and eager. But this is a stop on a downward spiral.

Me too, really. I'm excited about it.

I understand what you mean. But I have the impression that the fans and also the club itself, rather to sulk not to be in the champions league and it as annoying to play in the Europa league, as easy to say: "We win this trophy like ManUtd and Chelsea do this!!!!". That must be the claim!

No way but I'd like us to at least have a go at finishing top 4.

Eggsakly my thoughts.
Wenger can fuck off.

It's predominantly a PL attitude towards it, I guess because of the way it is presented to us. After spending a decade mocking teams like Spurs (Spursday night football anyone?) I can't suddenly pretend to be excited about it.
It's something different yes and we could possibly win it and I would be happy to because of the fact we've got no modern European honours, but it's a 2nd rate competition whatever way you look at it. The teams involved, prize money, CL dropouts and the fact we've more than halved ticket prices for it.

Oh I'm betting Wenger's views this tournament beneath him, and maybe some of the players who are used to winning world cups. That's why I won't mind seeing the kids playing. They'll love it and be eager to win it, and they haven't had enough exposure to Wenger yet to completely collapse. I think they'll be able to give it a good go. And I suppose that's where my interest comes from, watching some of the kids to see if they can make a name for themselves. But even that's a bit depressing as they have no futures under Wenger. I just wish he had gone in the summer. This would be a whole new start if he'd have fucked off.

Of course I agree with you. Also in Germany, the Europa League is not very popular because it feels you must play hundreds of games to come to the semi-final or final. Franz Beckenbauer also called this cup: Cup of losers! But I also honestly see an opportunity to qualify for the Champions League through the Europa League. For let's be honest, it is not sure that we come under the top 4 in the PL!

If United can take it seriously and win it last year... then we should take it seriously and look to win it this year. It is probably gives us a a better chance of getting knocked out in the last 16 of the CL next year.
And just think when the drop out teams from the CL join, imagine the excitement of playing Spurs in the Europa league.
