Couldn't agree more. But you have to ask yourself why it seems to be EPL and Serie A are in bed together on this. La Liga take it very seriously, with Seville and Atletico both winning it recently, the Bundesliga usually get representatives to the quarters every year etc. I just do not understand. One of the stupidest things about this league is, because it has a winter break, even with the excess of games, the players should be able to handle playing three times a week, hence, why European commitments are not taken seriously is a joke, because what are you fighting for in the league. If you are fighting for Europe then don't take it seriously when you get there, then you may as well come 10th every season and give the european places to small teams like Chievo and Bari who would relish the oppurtunity I'm sure to stir it up abroad.

Honest to god there can be no excuses about the format of competitions but when the spot goes, and clubs receive less money from European tv rights or however the fuck it works, I hope to god that a lesson will be learnt from all this, they simply has to be, and if we get the spot back then we'll hold onto it forever. Calcio cannot continue to exist with such a bullshit attitude.

And btw, I've seen a lot of dickheaded arguments and thoughts tonight. Lazio is only as strong as the league that's it in, and to not care about the league your team is in just doesn't make any sense to me.
