Yeah, it's why I hope we don't go too hard on these early EL fixtures. We could end up in serious trouble if the likes of Tomkins, Reid, Kouyate etc. break down later in the season due to fatigue.

Reckon it's a good chance for your fringes/young players to impress. The likes of Poyet, Zarate and Burke should all feature.

Zarate needs to **** off, woeful buy from us. Absolutely wretched attitude. The ego and work rate of Balotelli with the technical talent of someone like Ashley Young at best, ****ing hell.

LMAO. ****ing hell, what an assessment.

Frankfurt were in the Europa League two seasons ago, let me give a friendly piece of advice that you are absolutely ****ed mate. I remember Frankfurt playing against ISIS hatchet men on minefields in Azerbaijan and while there were great times with 10,000 fans on away trips midweek the team was beyond knackered every Saturday and Sunday.
Europa League is a different kettle of fish, your fans will be up for it and if you get to the knock out rounds and don't at least crash out of the LC and FA Cup early on you'll be 13th-15th come end of the season.

What I've been saying all along. Unless we reach the semis, I seriously don't give a **** about the EL. Having to watch our team crumble under the physical long term demands would be ****, and no one gives a **** about the EL unless they win it anyway.

Only positive would be us getting to go up against some of the bigger foreign teams, which would be interesting to watch.

Yeah, the games against Porto were undeniably one of the highlights in that season even if we were knocked out 5-5 on away goals.

Do you think West Ham are above playing in the EL? What are your expectations then playing in only domestic competitions and target to win one of the cups which will send you to the EL anyway? Or is West Ham realistically going to target top 4? I would think mid tier clubs would be happy to play in the EL because targeting the top 4 might work once every 20 years if you can get an Everton type team together.

Europa League is nice, if you're sure you're not going to relegate and you also have no ambitions reaching the CL (despite the one Cl ticket for the eventual winner). Otherwise the EL is a minefield indeed. It's even hard to escape, because it's hard to get knocked out.
