UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[SamTheMouse]

Excellent, I was hoping you might tell me which of the seven I should dip into.

Although I lied, I think I did listen to Send Away The Tigers once and didn't bother going back afterwards.

Autumnsong is a great tune.

Journal for Plague Lovers is the best post-Richey album, sort of Holy Bible II

I think they used his lyrics for that album and yes, it's very good.

I don’t wanna hear your puns. Why don’t you just...........

Back to Europe eh folks? I’m in enough bother as it is!

[eamonn]

I agree that these Manics puns are getting a bit too much.

Speaking of Europe, I see one of our former strikers is doing well with his innovative new horticultural venture back in Sweden. Allback Flowers that Grow in the Sky.

Edit: I'm waiting for Eamonn to see this before I receive the love this post so richly deserves.

The Martínez, Feeny and Allback efforts were all glorious.

As for Villa's future direction, I wish we had our leader and founder Mr McGregor's thoughts on what we should do. Sadly, William's Last Words were not recorded for posterity.

Still, we are in decent shape compared to five years ago. Apparently in Xia's final days of owning and almost killing our club, the "doctor's" lines of credit had been exhausted at each of Natwest-Barclays-Midland-Lloyds.

Some Manics based trivia - until recently the drummer lived round the corner from me, in Bristol.

Given their very clear identity/affinity with Wales and being Welsh, I always thought that was a bit ironic that he lived this side of the bridge.

A mate of mine lived next door to him and said he was "a decent fella".

Sean Moore - less skilful than the Moore brothers but a stronger work ethic which has served him well.

Baby Emi an senior Emi would love to play in Europe no doubt.

Lifeblood is very underrated, by the band themselves too.

Okay, let's get back to Europa Geht Durch Mich.

In his pre match Conference for the West Ham match Emery has said qualifying for Europe isn't the priority and he said: "The most important thing is to build a team, a family and a winning mentality."

[Smirker]

Not surprising really. It wouldn't be a priority this season given how we started.

It should be a priority next season if we don't make it this season.

The winner of the Europa Coference plays in the Europa League the following season.

The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League the following season.

We are five points off 7th place.

That is all...

Does he want more babies?

Big time. Get those things right and Europe will come.

1 in a 1000 chance of Champions League, you say?
