Just had a discussion with friends in work and thought it was interesting enough to debate on here.

We all know Champions League is the superior European competition to be in, but, what would be considered the better result. Man Utd won the Europa, or say Spurs who didn't get past the group stage in CL?

Naturally the best teams to play against and big money lies with CL but isn't winning Europa a bigger celebration?

Hypothetically, if you were told at the start of the season, Everton can play in CL but won't get out of the group, or can play Europa and will win the tournament, what would you prefer?

Personally it would be a dream to see us play against Barca, PSG etc but I'd be so depressed seeing us get spanked. To lift the Europa cup, albeit the second tier competition, would be my choice of options.

{Ed001's Note - surely there is no debate when winning the lesser trophy gives entry into the bigger trophy for the following season?}

Winning a trophy. Every single time. For owners it's being in the competitions that pay the most but for fans and the club's prestige it's all about silverware. Winning trophies also breeds winning trophies and is more likely to be a springboard to success.

Whats the point in record books if you're never in it?

Its a nice prize to aim for ed01, plus a glamour match of the super cup. Take away thoughts of qualification for the CL by winning and hypothetically just base it on whether its more appealing to play against Barca, Madrid and the likes or win a trophy?

{Ed001's Note - ah ok sorry. In that case surely the aim of sport is to win things? You have to go for the trophy imo.}

Have to agree with Ed001.

Worcester EFC, going along with your hypothesis, Everton need to get their act together, after losing 3-0 to an average side what does that make us.

Wtf bigduncsmum. It was nothing to do with team performances or having a dig at the team. Either you're a troll who loves to constantly bitch about us or just an imbecile looking for an argument. I 100% guarantee you'll be posting crap about the club even though we got the result today!
