people can say all they like about it only being the uefa cup but its full of top teams and Benfica are a perfect example
I dont want to sound like a pr!ck but in theory, fulham are then in the same boat as barcelona, i.e. top team in europe? if barca had,ve played us last night we would have been mauled. although maybe not as bad as arsenal seeing as arsenal have no defence and we have three defences.
the truth is if this competiton disappeared next season, noone would even notice. the quality of the football in comparison to CL has been vastly inferior, and the profile of the comp has been boosted only by our inclusion. that says it all. i'd love to full of beans about this comp and finishing fourth, but i think of where we should have been this year and it sickens me.
