One thing that really pissés me off about Europe is the system of proven losers getting to enter a later stage of a lower tier European competition.
It seems so unfair that those who go through qualifying and/or grouo stage success in the Europa are suddenly hijacked by a bunch of losers who failed badly in the champions league.
It's just got even worse now, not only do we see the losers from the first tier champions league 'rewarded' with another go at wrecking the efforts of the second tier completion Europa League. Now it's the second tier failures who are 'rewarded' by making a mockery of the third tier Conference trophy - (or whatever the competition for failures is called).
