Manchester ‘Twins’ Join Europa

Before we start, just wondering if the fan at the back had gone to the wrong stadium? I am pretty sure Balotelli is playing for the other Manchester team, and would love to join you for some firework. =P

So remember how people always say ‘Whatever City can do, United can do better!’ I guess it explains why the two teams always ended up walking down the same path. Here, joining the Europa League. And I think the saying does stand, as United showed more determinations in joining the Europa. Obviously they knew a draw can keep them in the Champions League, so in order to join Europa, a tournament that they have higher chances winning, they lost the game last night. City on the other hand, won their game, but unfortunately luckily, Napoli won theirs too. The twins can now join the Europa together and meet with other Premier League teams.

What do you say? I say England team has a very high chance to bring home the Europa trophy, although among all, Stoke City is the only team that already qualified to the next round. Fulham looks positive while Tottenham and Birmingham must win their last game to stand a chance in qualifying.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Valencia, Olympiacos will be seeded teams in round 32 draw, with Standard Liege, PSV Eindhoven, Sporting CP, Athletic Bilbao, Metalist Kharkiv, Schalke 04 and Twente, as they are all confirmed to be the winner of their group.

You will be able to find out the rest of the seeded teams on 14th and 15th December.
