No its not, its called the champions league 1st (2nd, 3rd) qualifiying round. Not Champions league 1st round.

Plus if its all the same why do goals scored in the qualifying rounds not count towards the totals / goalscoring charts?

If your comparing 4th in the pl to 1st in the EL then no it's not the same, it's much better.

As for not getting into the CL as league champs, meh, winning it more than made up for the way we got there.

Not comparing anything as that would be silly, all im saying is we qualified as champs of our league. Something T4tfs club will never do.

Simple really

No, it's the champions league qualifiers, just as the european championships qualifiers are played and if you qualify you get to play in the European championships, are you really having trouble with the qualifiers bit ?

If you do not qualify you are not in the competition, if you do then you are.

YOUR TEAM HAS NEVER QUALIFIED FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.

They may one day and then you can travel all around europe watching your boyos get humped by a team that know how to play football but at least then you can be happy in the knowledge that ye got there as champions of a poor league in a country populated mainly by people who could not give an arse about their achievements (or underwhelming lack of same)

As everybody knows, European football was established only when the Cup was renamed to the "Champions League". All records from before that date have been erased.

If you want an unpredictable team who you are guaranteed to experience both highs and lows with then it has to be Citeh. And we've actually got some decent players now to go watch.

We've also got a cracking stadium to go to and the most loyal supporters around. We have a shot at Europe this year and could win one of the cups.

you think Liverpool will NEVER win the league ever again? Bit mental to think that i reckon. Are you just starting rows in all the threads on here tonight?!

Someone call a mod............oh wait :eek:

Unpredictable ???

they have won every home game this season and 6 of their 8 have been One Nil haven't they.

That is championship winning form

the word champions in thrown about your post in a weird manner its like it matters when it suits but not when it doesnt.

fact is we earned out right to play our qualifiers as champions of our league to gain entry to the champions league, granted we got stuffed 10-0 in one from some country called moldova and 2-0 by some country called scotland (was at both being a fan and all). Its irrelevent we earned our right to be there as champions of our league.

As i said your club has yet to do that.

Lol must suck being a liverpool fan and winning all that stuff and never actually qualifing to the champions league as champions of your league.

tbh wouldnt bother me unless someone reminded me off it, i would just say we better than you or something.

It's the name of the competition, it is used in sentences that are clear and reasonably well constructed, (I only say that because I am having real trouble understanding most of what you put down in the above post), it is used in those sentences because that is what it is called. The fact that you earned your right to play qualifiers for the competition that ye have yet to manage to get into is neither here nor there as that is not what you originally said (as you no doubt well know). When you say "As I said earlier" do you mean "I said something that was completely dissimilar to this and have battled bravely on for the last page and a half because while I am definitely wrong and have since backed down on both of the points I made earlier". because if that is what you mean then yes, you are exactly right. :rolleyes:

At least I suppose you have seen the error of your ways and took a step away from that bloody stupid comment, cathartic is it, bit like confession ? How long do you think it will be before pats qualify for the CL as champions ? How long do you think it will take for them to actually qualify for the CL ?

And just to acknowledge the point made above Pie, you are of course correct

Because otherwise this whole argument would have been put to bed hours ago as the pool have wone the league and followed it up with a EC win.

Dear Kdjac/fellow El league supporter and foot.ie user.

Ditch the Premiership and its glamour.
Ditch the Championship and its useless highlights shows.
Ditch League 1 and its fallen Leeds Heroes.
Ditch League 2 and its fake low league appearance.

Your answer lies the Blue Square Premier Division.
In the form of Burton Albion FC and the Brewers

We held United to a draw and are on a ludicruous 15 game unbeaten run.
The team on the fringes of the playoffs last year, will surely do it this year.

Kdjac, your carraige awaits

not gonna get in on the off topic debate.

As a serious answer, id go with Barcelona.

On TV loads thanks to sky, play great football, good chance of winning something, Champions League football, bit of controversy still so you get those mini lows to make the highs better, probably just as cheap to fly there as to England and you get the bonus of a great city with savage women and nice people. If anything travel will be easier/cheaper as prices flights for match days in England often jump.

If Barca doesn't grab you, try Seville for much of the same reasons, but with the whole plucky underdog thing going on as well.

why would you want to support a side cause there on the tele a lot?

He's picking a team to support for the few months the eL is out of action. Being able to see them is probably gonna be pretty important.

From reading his posts i get the impression he doesn't want a team that he'll only be supporting by checking for their results and maybe getting to travel for one or two games.

Dave! · 11-11-2007 02:46AM

Especially since the OP goes to 90% of matches or whatever...

I'd go with Leeds. Heroes.

An Citeog · 11-11-2007 02:46AM

I thought you already had a soft spot for Sevilla Kdjac. Stick with it, at least you'll get to watch some decent football. If you don't fancy travelling to the 3rd world region that is Andalucía, I'd recommend Barça. It's worth it just to see Xavi, Iniesta and Messi playing.

MrJoeSoap · 11-11-2007 03:00AM

The ridiculously childish back-and-forth in this thread is horrible. If you like Irish football, f*ck it, you're stuck with it and none of these Liverpool fans are ever going to support Irish clubs. If you support Liverpool, why should you care what an eircom League fan thinks of you and your team?

This board has begun to repeat itself ad infinitum.

Ultimately I'd suggest Spurs. They should go on a decent enough run now and are fantastic to watch going forward, and amusing to watch defending.
Also they are in London which makes watching them very easy. The flights over are nice and cheap. Flights to manchester multiply by 20 whenever the time of a United game is.
If you have a team in London, it's quite easy for you to get over and back in a day. What would make it easier would be if the game was at 3 o clock, in which case, Spurs are your best bet as they are the least shown on TV.
Furthermore, it's relatively easy to get tickets for Spurs as nearly all games bar catagory A go on general sale.
That said, if you flew into Heathrow, you could just get the tube all the way to the Arsenal stadium.

Still, go for Spurs

Ease of access really should be your number one priority.

p.s. I'm imaging in a years time you'll be screaming in support for Spurs, losing your like of the eL, and then totally swap sides in the arguments

Could be funny

Limerick Dude · 11-11-2007 02:45PM

If you want a rollercoaster ride of emotion, then Newcastle is the team for you

homerjay2005 · 11-11-2007 02:53PM

I reckon you should support a team that plays in a country that doesn't have internet access. Then we won't have to listen to your EL rants when you go to their home games.
