Oof we do like to make it hard for ourselves each year. What I don't understand is why we go in unprepared each year into these qualification games and just hope for the best. Would it kill EPO to use some common sense and bring forward the start of the league a month or so to give our teams a better chance. From a sporting perspective I'm not really fussed if we don't play in Europe each and every year. If we don't play once in every 5 years, "kai ti egine". But the financial hit ... that's where the real problem is. Anyway, time to hold our breath for one week and see what next week brings.
