Europa League 2012/13 - Now NOT Featuring Falcao

Fb goal that.

I'm not saying he's awful but, and i just googled it because you cunts didn't let me be lazy, he doesn't seem like he's got enough about him to justify spending £10m on him. Probably would have been good business at about half that.

The lads only 21 though, willing to give him time to prove himself.

Yeah fair enough, I thought he was older to be fair.

Who knows, maybe after he grabs one or two he'll show himself to be a natural goal scorer but I've not really seen many glimpses of any great natural ability so far, but as you say, early days.

Did Napoli field a weakened side tonight? Had them in an accumulator thinking they were in good form and saw them get spanked 3-0.

Molde 2-0 Stuttgart.

As much as I hate writing this, that's an impressive win for them.

I'm not really that dissapointed with the result, especially after seeing that. Dominated the first half with a secondish team, then when Suarez, Sterling and Gerrard came on we absolutely bossed it, really unlucky. Plenty of positives, and only the Europa Leauge so not much worry about result.

Crappy mentality from some members here. We should really value the Europa League, most clubs do, it's just an English mentality that they are superior to the competition.

Nevertheless, superb performance and nothing to be ashamed of.

The Germans take the competition more seriously than any nation. Perhaps not Spain but it's a big deal over there. Italy and France you have a point but even now the hierachy at their clubs seem to promote a competitive run in the EL.

Delighted for Ole.

Suarez made the difference, Gerrard was dire.

Nah, Gerrard was alright. Should have scored though.

And Eurostar, shut up. It's not a dire mentality, it's just this competition is obviously not as important as others. It would be nice to win it, but I'm not going to cry if we dont, because A) I'd rather do well in the league and B) It's no Champions League and wouldn't really prove anything from us as a club.

I think I read somewhere recently that there's talk of completely abolishing the Europa League and expanding the Champions League to 64 teams. Not sure if it's a serious proposal or just talk, but don't feel it would be a great idea diluting the quality of the competition, although UEFA felt fine doing that with the European Championships.

Ideally, they should just leave the Champions League as it is, change the Europa League back to a straight knockout competition from the off and bring back the Cup Winner's Cup.

Nah, Gerrard was alright. Should have scored though.

And Eurostar, shut up. It's not a dire mentality, it's just this competition is obviously not as important as others. It would be nice to win it, but I'm not going to cry if we dont, because A) I'd rather do well in the league and B) It's no Champions League and wouldn't really prove anything from us as a club.
