Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,663 Posted June 6, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted June 6, 2023 People who turn their nose up at these minor European competitions just aren't football fans in the way that I understand. Of course you'd be disappointed to qualify for this one or the Europa League instead of the Champions League but people who are like nah if we can't get top four I don't want Europe at all are mystifying. West Ham are off to Prague to play against a big Italian club with a chance of capping their season with a piece of silverware. You can't pick and choose these situations when Man City dominate so much domestically and the same set of clubs dominate the elite European qualifying spots and latter stages every season. Anyone who thinks these tournaments should be scrapped or would rather miss out on Europe because it gives them a marginally better chance of scraping a 4th place domestically the next season at the expense of seeing their team play all over Europe, getting to watch an extra dozen or so football matches a season and having a chance to see them win a trophy like this... I didn't understand it when it was only the Europa League and I don't understand it with this competition either. West Ham fans will have had the time of their lives with this.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,360 Posted June 7, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted June 7, 2023 My old man was a Hammers supporter so I would love West Ham to win this just for him, he is more than likely up there looking down with a roll up drum cigarette in his mouth, dressed in his West Ham kit and blowing bubbles while supping a beer. Hammers 3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted June 7, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted June 7, 2023 Predictable. Fiorentina fans attacked West Ham fans in Prague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 1,117 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I am hoping West Ham win in Prague this evening. They lost out in the semi-finals of the Europa League last season to Frankfurt. So it would be nice to see them win this year, especially after the demanding season they have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf 7,161 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I think something strange must happen with gravity around football players that does not happen in other sports.. As soon as they are touched no matter where it is they crumple to the floor straight away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical elitist football fan mentally these days unfortunately. If you don't get top 4 (even after spending half a billion on players), you might as well not bother these days. Pathetic really.
