I'm not interested in whether we're seeded or what draw we get. We have the best manager in the world, and we can beat anybody.

Give it five years, and the world will know our Unai could floss his teeth with that shiny-headed* manicured-bearded, cardigan-wearing tosser from the oil cheats.

But, such are his standards of hygiene, Unai would seek out a supplementary flossing material. Because a charlatan gobshite is not fecking substantial enough.

* Sorry Paddy.

What’s the actual date of the final?

29th

Which stadium in Athens?

Agia Sophia Stadium (aka OPAP Arena) which is the home stadium of AEK Athens.
Of course, I knew that as the hotel I have previously booked is right next door😟

I’m sort of glad West Ham won it this season now (I wasn’t much at the time) as the country can see its importance and significance. Yes it’s the 3rd tier European trophy but it’s a European trophy.

I view it as a European League Cup, not as prestigious as the 2 older trophies but would still be a very welcome addition to our trophy cabinet.

For me, the overriding benefit was knowing that I imagine, at least, most of the Villa squad would have watched that and they'll have been thinking "I want some of that".

I see it as same level as the original third competition, the CWC.

Take the winner aside you can see what it meant to their fans. As odious as many of them are that’s their first trophy in forever as it would be for us. I can’t wait to win it next year

I don't think West Ham fans are odious.

Their owners are, though.

Fenerbahce 2 - 0 up at half-time in the Turkish cup final which I think is good news for us regarding the prospect of being seeded.

As far as I understand the mathematical equation anyway.

Sure, we shouldn’t generalise, and I have WHU supporting mates, but I think it’s fair to say that the guys who launched projectiles at the Fiorentina players are odious.

Finished 2-0 so good for us, just a shame that Erdogan's team lost. :(

I would say that being of a non white disposition amongst some fan bases varies in experience. West Ham was never a fun place to visit while I lived there. Not saying we don’t have our wankers, because we do. But they’re not my cup of tea. Leicester fans can be like that too as I experienced while going to Filbert Street back in my uni days in the early 90’s.
