    Yeh I have them liked on Facebook. Normally get a quick read of it when I get up the next day after a game. Normally some good discussions but don't really interact on that site.

    Yeah same here, it's a bit hit n miss but I always like reading marks out of ten for players and I like that they back it up with stats

    So our EL journey this season is over. Next season the winner gets into the Champions League, which will make it significantly more interesting. Which will be more difficult next season - getting into the CL through 4th place or higher or through winning the EL? And would you be happy if whoever is in charge next season really goes for the EL, perhaps at the expense of the league?

    If UEFA are serious about trying to boost the EL by awarding a CL place to the winner from next season, then they need to stop the ridiculous farce of parachuting 8 teams from the CL into the last 32 every year.

    Looking at this year's quarter final draw, I'm guessing 6 of the 8 remaining teams played in the CL this season. Most of these are fairly certain of CL qualification every year through their own leagues.

    The EL already has a huge number of groups and games before Christmas. The CL teams have already had the opportunity to play in the higher competition. It's not right to reward failure (3rd place in the group) by putting these teams into the EL. The EL should go straight to a last 16 (with a little reorganising) in March. This would be fairer and also mean fewer games.

    Just wondering does anyone feel the same about this. I've always hated having to play games on a Sunday 95% of the time cos of the Europa League.

    Do others prefer Spurs playing on Saturdays or does it make no odds?
