See that our Europa league cherry team have done it again.

They have just knocked West Ham United out of the Europa league for the second year in a row - 2-1 on aggregate after a 4-3 win last season.

Our 1-0 loss to them means we are probably on a par with West Ham overall!

A few familiar names from last year but the star striker Budescu who scored against us is playing in China with the exquisitely-named Dalian Yifang FC. 

Had a suspicion they would do well against West Ham again especially given odds of 10-1 ;-) , don't think these English based teams or players care about the EL, get too much money playing in the EPL as a salary to care about the prestige of European competition unlike smaller nations. If its not cash driven like the CL then these guys just don't turn up - indicated by EPL teams playing their 2nd string players quite often.

 

 

It will be interesting to see what Man Ure do in the Europa League this season. Remember Chelsea getting to the final under Benitez, and Jose saying it was embarrassing that Chelsea were celebrating getting into the final.

Will he play his second team so they get knocked out early.
