Perhaps you should

It might help you mellow a little.

if Spurs finish 4th and arsenal win the Champions league, do spurs get our UEFA spot?

[Florida Rover]

no

[ihtd]

Spuds in the Uefa Cup with a small club like Blackburn, that would be beneath such a big club, wouldn't it? lol

I actually want Spuds to get in the CL just to because it wold make a change from the usual suspects Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsk, Manure.

The best result would be Spurs finishing fourth, the Gunners losing 10 days later and then Spurs getting knocked out in the qualifier.

Rovers chief plots Euro campaign

Good to see the positive vibes coming out of Ewood regarding the upcoming UEFA campaign. Makes such a contrast with the last days of Souness who I think said something about wishing rather to go out with the wife that night. At the time it didn't seem as obvious as it did now that he was covering his own back, downplaying expectations so it would lessen the pressure on him. Still...it had me fooled! At Newcastle it was excuse after excuse. Anything to take the pressure off him and damn the club itself.

Williams was at least as bad as Souness, probably more as he is supposed to be the boss. Fortunately he seems to have come around to the positive thinking of Hughes.

'The one thing I'm determined to do next season is make sure we have a good European campaign"

"It's no easy task for a club like ours to have a successful season in the Premiership and do well in Europe but, given the way our coaching staff prepare for games, I think it's possible.

"The last thing we want to do is go out with a whimper after the first round because everyone has worked so hard to get us there in the first place.

"So we know we must do better in Europe than we have in the past, and we are determined as a club to do that."

Blimey...it seems something to really look forward to!

I think there is a slightly different context-around the time Souness was quoting from his little red book, Ipswich had come a real cropper because of European matches, whereas now English clubs have done very well in EUFA and the Champion's League.

Last time we finished 6th and got into Europe, Sunderland and WBA got relegated too.

[bubblerrovers]

Do we Qualify straight into competition or have to Qualify?????

[1864roverite]

Rovers hould be a seeded team if they are required to play a qualifier

[Manchester Blue]

We don't play a qualifier we are straight into the first round, and we will be seeded.

This is an amazing piece of work - Bert Kassies is one Dutchman with a lot of free time...

I've never heard of half those teams on there - Tobol Kustanai anybody? F91 Dudelange? That one sounds like an obscure sportscar. I'd like to hear Craig Bellamy say "Yeah, I think we can go to Hafnarfjardar and get a result"

Although Gretna would be handy for me...

Why do you bother, they wont. Posting it repeatedly to the converted on a message board wont help.

[Blackpool_Rover]

fingers crossed we draw one of the Prague teams, looks like Slavia and Sparta are both gonna miss out on the champions league, 4th and 5th.

[shraffy]
