Europa league is a joke.

Yes, a European competition that has top European teams in it. Is a joke.

Bellend.

How did barca, bayern, Manu u, Milan etc get on then?

Prick.

There is no point in calling Europa Leage a joke.. just shows a small club syndrome.

What's is got to do with Cardiff? It's my opinion that the Europa league is a joke. I have no interest in it, nor do I aspire for Cardiff to play in it. It's nothing to do with the fact that the jacks are in it, I've said it long before they made it.
So small club syndrome it ain't.

Well you are a joke of a supporter then. What aspirations do you hold for our club? It seems you don't like any of the cups and for you say you wouldn't want Cardiff City to potentially play the likes of Ajax, Benfica, Napoli, Atletico Madrid and Marseille in a competitive fixture is astounding.

The premier league is not the be all end all of supporting a football club. Some need to remember that.

Yet Spurs, Chelsea (The Champions League holders), Atletico Madrid, AJAX, Inter, Benfica were all in the competition.

Pipe down.

Arguably one of the best posts on here. So true. The attitude from some Brits towards the competition is astounding. I take the pee to just get under the Jacks skin but I would love it if we were in the competition ourselves.

Apparently West Ham have asked to take him on a seasons loan for next season, this guy was awesome for WBA, surely he's worth a cheeky loan?

Too good for us IMO, wouldn't hurt to try and get him on a loan though.

Ill pipe down when you don't enter a debate with abuse. It's an opinion that I've explained earlier. The joke part of it is what you've just highlighted. Teams who fail in the champs league then get another chance to play on, padded out with lesser teams who get in through lower league positions and even a 'fair play' route. It's like a plate competition vs the main trophy. Each to their own but I have little interest in it.

It's hardly a joke though is it? It's a major European competition...

Never said I didn't like the cups so you made that up. Perhaps my aspirations are a lot higher than yours. If that makes me a joke supporter then so be it. Coming from a poster pretending to be somebody he isn't

Like I've said it's each to their own. If that doesn't suit your view then I guess you'll have to get over it.

Champs league is major. Europa league us minor.

Not sure why your getting so defensive over it. Did you invent it or something?

I know you like to be different and edgy on here carps but your embarrassing yourself here son.Let it go you're better than this and it is because us jacks are in it you think its a useless competition. Everyone can see through it dude.

Not sure why your getting so defensive over it. Did you invent it or something?

It's a continental competition with over 32 teams. It's a major competition.

Yeah, I did. Won it a few times too.

Already had this with NJ and said it may feel different if you're in it. f**k me some just can't believe others think differently about things and that's the embarrassing bit. It's like Groundhog Day now, other posters jumping in without reading what's already been posted and that a line had been drawn under it.

Nothing to do with you jacks either. I don't think I've ever watched an Europa league game all the way through. Even the Chelsea final last week I watched the last 20 mins. Thats 20 mins in total for the whole competition. It just doesn't interest me, yet I can understand others are thrilled by it. Some love the FA cup, others totally disinterested in it. Some love international football, others totally disinterested.

The breaking news seems to be that sometimes football fans don't agree on everything

Most of which are shit

My aspirations for my club is to become a giant within the game, champions league winners medals and what not. But be realistic, we are never going to break through that. We can get to the Europa league. I trust if we made it to the Europa league you wouldn't attend the matches? I get the feeling you are slating it because the Jacks are there.

In the next 25 years we will qualify for the competition at least once and I for one can't wait for it.

Ian, I may still be here but i'll more than likely be doing what looks like an impression of a fish out of water in my grave as we crash out to FC Armenia in the second round.

I did say it may feel different if you're in it. Until then it's how I feel and have done since it started.

So is the World Cup a shit competition as the likes of North Korea, New Zealand, Honduras, Algeria etc are in it?

Is the FA Cup a joke competition with only 15% of the entrants being top flight clubs?

Is the Premier league a joke competition because only a handful compete in the champions league?

Whether you like the competition or not matters little, people are bemused as you are calling it a "joke", when it clearly isn't. It exudes jealousy and makes us look small.

Perhaps carps still cant believe his team has got to the premier league and is having trouble accepting it.A bit like a mother who can't bond with her new born baby

Maybe. Fact is I've thought it since the cup was introduced, but hey people can interpret it in anyway they wish. Loads of rounds then the fact the champs league failures come in later on seems farcical to me and undermines its credibility. Can't believe how upset everyone is getting over one opinion. It's not like I'm making an official statement on behalf of Cardiff City and many Cardiff fans disagree with me. It's just a debate isn't it?

As for this new drama queen poster delembox, if he's a Cardiff fan then I'm an optimist

The BEST teams are in each of those competitions you've mentioned. Poor analogy I'm afraid.

Europa League is a fantastic competition and would be made up if we ever qualified for it - what great nights they would be and I'm sure Swansea will enjoy it next season.

You think Braintree town are one of the best clubs in Britain? Yu think Honduras are one of the best international sides in the world?

What the hell are you cracking on about? If Atletico Madrid came up against Braintree town there would be a massacre yet you aren't calling the FA Cup a joke. If Wales came up against New Zealand we would also win yet the World Cup isn't a joke. If Real Madrid came up against Wigan it would be a massacre, yet the premier league isn't a joke.

You are off your trolley.

Exactly, even from a selfish point of view I would love to able to go and watch a city away game in some obscure European country. That would be fantastic

You are off your trolley.

Totally missed the point, I hope on purpose. Your examples are meaningless - how does Real Madrid v Wigan reflect on the PL? How would braintree v A Madrid happen in the FA cup? If you have to make up nonsense to back up your argument then you're clearing struggling. And I'm off my trolley?!

Last time I checked, all the PL teams enter the FA cup. They are the best teams, not the conference sides you fool. And last time I checked, teams who get knocked out don't get a second chance by dropping into some lesser cup. Yes the World Cup includes its minnows at times as it brings the 5 continents together. But it also includes the very best sides in the world. Same applies to the Champs League. But this was never my underlying point. It's not necessarily who you're playing (although the EL is full of second/third rate teams), it's how you come about playing them.

Let me slow it down for you.

Lets say as well as the World Cup there is another trophy called the earth league. The latter is made up of teams not good enough to qualify for the World Cup, including say Wales, Scotland, and Thailand.

Now Wales are going along nicely in the earth cup until teams who fail to qualify from the World Cup group stage suddenly drop into the earth cup, lets say including England and holland. Wales get put out by England who then go on to beat holland in the earth cup final.

I would find that farcical, akin to the Europa league IMO. Others wouldn't which I can accept. Seems many including you have a problem and are getting very upset. I'm bored of explaining the same thing now and written this novel in a final attempt to offer my views. I don't like the Europa league and have no interest in it. I think it's a minor trophy designed to soften the blow for champs league failures. Do you think I'm suddenly going to change my mind because people tell me they love it? I've even said perhaps if you're club is in it then it may feel differently, but then I never got too excited about European games for Cardiff in the past so who knows.

I'm comfortable with my stance and that others differ. As I've said, football fans are allowed to disagree. Some don't like international football, others love it. Some have no interest in the cups, others love the FA cup. It's about opinions and I don't think anyone is going to get hurt by them?

I can live with it and suggest we all just agree to disagree rather than turn this into a 20 pager in classic Roath-esque fashion

I hope they do

Slow down cowboy, you are moving the goalposts. The term used was "joke", whether you like the cup or not is irrelevant and not what is being discussed, that part is up to you. It's your use of referencing it as a joke cup which is the part flabbergasting many.

Your opinion was clearly based on the quality of opposition. It's nonsense. You like the FA cup with the likes of Braintree in yet say the Europa is a joke with the likes of Chelsea in it. Did Cardiff just win a joke league with no top flight teams in it too then?

The premier league next year will have two teams in it from the championship who werent good enough to win the league. Most of the clubs there aren't even good enough to qualify for Europa league let alone champions league... Is that a joke league?

This is football. There are many cups and trophies to win and many of them have different means of qualification. You seem to think anything outside of the top 4 is a "joke" which is highly ridiculous considering you support Cardiff.

European football IS a privilege, hence why football teams (including Cardiff) will do their utmost to secure it. Your life as a fun must be as dull as dishwater if your whole footballi philosophy now surrounds finishing outside the top 6 not winning any cups but staying out of the bottom 3.... Joy and ambition eh?

Premier league teams should not be allowed to sign players on loan. It's a crap ruling. Any team that want lukaku should try and buy him if Chelsea want to sell.

So how is a young 4th choice striker meant to get experience?

Maybe he could actually play for the club that owns him. The stupidity of some on here is incredible.

You do understand what 4th choice means dont you?
Another example is steven caulker. Went on loan to league yeovil, championship Bristol then us in the pl when he was still a teenager. This season he played for a top club as a 20year old. Surely thats better for the lad the reserve team football?

Nothing wrong with young players going out on loan for a couple of months to lower league clubs who have injury crisis' but prem clubs have enough money so if you want a player then buy them rather than abuse the system.
