The play-off round is referred to as the "4th qualifying round" in that list. We'd be one of the 6 teams to enter the Europa GS that way (4 from the Champions' path, 2 from the League path). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this not a discussion forum? You rightly say all the relevant teams are beatable. The reader, well me, starts to feel optimistic. @bustercomes along and rightly reminds me of previous disappointment. The optimism remains but tempered by recalled events. I suppose if you were an absolute stickler for accuracy, you would have said all teams are beatable but the chances against the relevant teams are better than against CL group stage teams. @busterwould still have been right with words of caution. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Malmo beat us home and away but we beat Borussia Dortmund 6-4, on aggregate. Such is the nature of football. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never imagined that the term beatable would inspire such optimism! I'll endeavour to pedantically caveat any such comment in future to save anyone getting carried away. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I could cavil with splitting an infinitive and using a noun as a verb, notwithstanding its Latin origin but this a forum for football fans so I suppress my inner pedant. That pedant forbids the use of symbol to qualify a remark so for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing should be read as a lighthearted response and not didactic. You know what? The inner pedant can take a running jump. One of the wee picture thingies would have saved about fifty words. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 5,350 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Benfica and Porto managed to make the last 16 (or was it 8? ) last few seasons and we can more than mix it with them so no reason to feel anything but confident about any tie we get. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
