If i recall there was the old cup winners cup in 94 but that doesn't exist anymore. I only remember cause i had a friend who would go on and on about itIt's a bit of white elephant for you, the whole 0 European trophies.
Talking more a European Cup, a UEFA Cup or a Super Cup. The real European trophies.If i recall there was the old cup winners cup in 94 but that doesn't exist anymore. I only remember cause i had a friend who would go on and on about it
But its beside the point, maybe they can get past the round of 16 for once

Oh and Arsenal fans, this wasnt a sly dig at you guys. But just a real possibility to win a European trophy. If your lot does end up in the EL I hope you would take is seriously, it's a great competition and would be a huge trophy for you guys to win.
Some Arsenal fans have a huge superiority complex about the Europa League. They believe we're 'above' it and want to miss it altogether. Massive sense of entitlement.
The reality is Europa is Arsenal's standard at the moment, and is a genuine European trophy. There's an air of arrogance around some fans who don't want to admit this.
I'd hope we'd go al out to try and win it. Football to me is about winning, not finishing 4th and then getting torched in the round of 16.
Is that because a lot of them have only been fans since the invincibles era?
I'm totally with you on this. Football is about winning. Whether you qualify for CL or EL, it's still a big European trophy and it's certainly easier to win the Europa League than it is the CL. You're still a chance to finish top four but if you miss out, I hope your fans really embrace. Enjoy a deep European ride and maybe win a big trophy.Some Arsenal fans have a huge superiority complex about the Europa League. They believe we're 'above' it and want to miss it altogether.

I was gutted when we lost to Sevilla last year in the final. Would have loved to have won it.
Oh absolutely no doubt. You want to be in the CL, but if we dont qualify, I dont treat the EL with contempt. I want to go out and win it. Compete, try to win a European trophy. Winning trophies is what it's all about!Agreed, although UCL qualification helps the appeal too.
why? its basically a reserves type european compYeah, if we can't make the CL, I'd love for us to win the EL.
One that your "reserves" couldn't win.why? its basically a reserves type european comp

If there wasn't a UCL spot up for grabs I couldnt care less.One that your "reserves" couldn't win.
Nah, it's basically a reserves type European Comp.
Problem with the EL is it's such a debilitating competition to be in that it affects your domestic form. The Thursday kick offs are a drain as are those far flung trips to the likes of Azerbaijan, trips you just don't get in the CL
Arsenal haven't one a European trophy though. I'm sure they'd jump at the chance to win either if the two on offer.why? its basically a reserves type european comp
There is absolutely no different playing Wed/Sat to Thur/Sun. None whatsoever. As for traveling, Azerbaijan is an extreme example. Often you will just be playing smaller clubs in closer, easier to get to countries like Belgium, Denmark, Poland etc which is no different than traveling to Spain, Germany, Italy for CL encounters.Problem with the EL is it's such a debilitating competition to be in that it affects your domestic form.

Arsenal have won a legitimate European trophy in 1994. That's still very poor for a club of their standing thoughArsenal haven't one a European trophy though. I'm sure they'd jump at the chance to win either if the two on offer.
