4th (KO in qualifer) v 5th

[Big Fat Sam]

Another massive plus if we make 4th is Bobby will want to get his main signing done early doors to give us the best possible chance of getting ghthe qualifiers, which is what he did last year with Kone Alcaraz, and Robles. As long as this happens we should be confident about beating anyone. At the minute it could be Napoli or Bayer Levekusen or possibly even Barcelona as they're 3rd in La Liga. Hopefully, it'll be someone like Celtic. Bring it on

Imagine if we got Steaua Bucharest.

OH GOD. NOT CELTIC

4th please - but if we get knocked out of Champions League Qualifier (should we finish 4th), then we will be in the Europa League anyway.

We would have a stronger team this time around, and we play football (compared to DM way, which makes us hard to beat).

 

[BluenosePaul]

100% 4th whoever we get in the play off round lets [Poor language removed] do them!!! Remember last time we had Moyes this time we have Roberto, lets have some confidence lids!!

we will probably beat most teams in the qualifier, we beat the 7th best team in Europe 4-1 over 2 legs this season. And anyway, even if we finish 4th and get knocked out of the qualifier we will enter the Europa league group stage.

Yeah completely Moyes fault UEFA and Collina rigged that game.

Weird how you forget about Kone then every so often you see his name and remember he's ours.

Disappointing, isn't it?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I honestly reckon with the way we play we'd do well in Europe. You don't see many european sides play in a "pressing" style like sides in the Prem do, which would arguably suit us.

It is mate. I wish I'd never gone to the game against Stevenage especially.

 

[Allezfan]

OH GOD. NOT CELTIC

We can't get celtic.

I know we've had no reason to pay attention to the cl for a while but in the qualifiers champions only play champions and non champions only play non champions.

 

[jrj]

Is this even worth a thread? Obviously we want to finish as high in the league as we can.

 

[meagher94]

Wtf, why are people saying this all of a sudden?

We'd be playing teams who finish in the qualifying round spots of their respective leagues e.g. Athletic Bilbao, Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen.

These are all teams who we are on a par, if not better than. Get a grip ffs, if we fear the likes of Bilbao and Leverkusen then how can we ever expect to be successful again?

 

[Muzumbu]

will most likely play these teams:

Athletic Bilbao
Bayer Leverkusen
Napoli
Porto

 

[Julio Ananas]

5 seeded qualifiers and 5 non seeded (us)

so most likely at the moment to be one of the seeds:

1/ Porto
2/ Zenit, cska, spartak or dinamo moscow
3/ napoli
l4/ everkusen, mainz, monchengladback or wolfsburg
5/ or...galatasaray/bilbao
