City in Europe Europe First time in 27 years Blues all excited. They draw Total Network Solutions in Wales.... ha, ha, ha, ha........
This just begs for a chorus from the MASSIVE song: "They go to Cardiff and Wrexham on Euro aways, Oh City are a MASSIVE club." Oh the irony on how that song was true when City were in the Nationwide and even now when they "earned" a spot in Europe.
For those wondering, this is the general gist of it... City got into Europe because they had the least fouls (or was it cards?) in the league with the least fouls (or was it cards?) - the EPL. ONLY, the didn't... they were 5th I think, but they 4 teams ahead of them were already through to Europe. So Utd enter by being Champions... And City enter by being the 5th 'cleanest' team. MWA HA HA HA HA
Yep, England's "Fair Play" UEFA Cup spot goes to that other Manchester team. Can't wait to see them knocked out by some crappy Austrian team or something.
Impossible. Their first game is against a Welsh team called "Total Network Solutions". So, it won't be a crtappy Austrian team knocking them out. It will be an unknown, bunch of Welsh office workers who will knock them out it seems btw - if anyone else had been followung the full story, the latest City quote is below Manchester City have expressed their delight at drawing Welsh side TNS in the qualifying round of the UEFA Cup. With the opening of the City of Manchester Stadium and the start of the Premiership campaign, it is a tie which suits City and their fans. "The ease with which we will be able to travel to our opponents is advantageous as we kick-off our campaign just three days later, " managing director Alistair Mackintosh told www.mcfc.co.uk.
