Out of all the teams United could have got they got Brugge. It's never a gimme I know but was hoping for a little tuffer side a long away trip or something. Something like the besiktas we had last year.

I should really just concentrate on our great team and not be so fussed about them really

{Ed025's Note - your right brow..

When it comes to utd being patriotic goes out the window, come on Brugge :-)

english league is now 3rd in uefa coefficients. with la liga and bundesliga ahead of us due to their success in european competitions and italy are close behind us in 4th.

while we are close to the bundesliga in terms of regaining 2nd spot.

to have teams not competing in the latter stages of the european competitions be it champions league or europa league will hurt us.

and while we may take that 4th champions league spot for granted, if we do lose it, it may turn out to haunt one of our teams in the future.

so while i don't support united, and i don't want them to win the champions league...for them to get to the quarter finals or semi finals does well for our standing in europe.

{Ed002's Note - This is not new. England have been third for some time. You are worrying unnecessarily right now about losing the fourth spot. I suspect nothing will change for England much before the whole thing is restructured because of a breakaway pan-European League. In terms of club ranking MU has dropped below MC now.}

You can look at it two ways G62. Them going out would be funny. But the extra games they have to play would be a welcome distraction

There we have it, Ed002 has confirmed utd being knocked out in the preliminary round wouldn't affect the premier league 4 team qualification at all.
So I urge everyone to do their duty and get behind Brugge 100%.
A we don't want the rest of Europe to have to endure LVG/utd brand of football
B it would be soooooo funny :-)

I'm buying that G62. A nice little draw between them and spuds today will do nicely as well

I don't think you have the final point on this, hopefully they'll lose to Bruge so they then get chucked into fun-loving Thursday night football, which turns every team into useless idiots! That's what I'm preying for!
