In Reply to: Concern re:- UEFA threat on place in Europe because of Arsenal/Man Utd fielding weakened teams posted by John on November 03, 2000 at 18:30:43:
Quite right. I went to Anfield (as always :) ) the other night and saw two teams putting out a full squad and playing to the best of their ability.
This, I believe, is because they realise that they are ENGLISH clubs playing in the ENGLISH league for ENGLISH cups..
Tosser clubs like the Plc and the Arse seem to think that they are European clubs.
I find it astounding that clubs can show this much arrogance and disdain to the country that spawned them.
This was the original reason for the FA 'Threat' against fielding weakened teams. But, as always, they only have teeth for those smaller clubs outside the 'top two'.
Makes me sick, it does.
But as long as the Mighty Reds have the pride, commitment and humility to realise what their fans and their home country wants, I won't be too unhappy.
: Typical isn't it ? Punish everyone else just because 2 clubs don't want to compete for thew Worthington Cup.
: Come on UEFA...Show some guts for a change....If the 2 clubs mentioned are doing something wrong, then punish them and them alone !!
: If not, then stop posturing and let the rest of us compete for a trophy that might let us play in Europe
