its good that you understood. I was expecting you to understand. Look there are certainly some technical faults but the allegations thato some members threw have emotionally hurt me@usaindia
My main thing is if Eb understand there is money to be made by making afc cup semis and league profile will go up
@arsenalfan you still didn't understan or don't want to understand. As I mentioned, results are different things altogether. But if you think east bengal is conceding goals purposefully to concentrate on cfl then you stay happy imagining that

look I'm not running away from facts. As I said earlier, there are technical faults in our team which we need to focus but we never take afc cup lightly that's also another fact. You believe it or not. @arsenalfan

<br><div><br></div><div>Okay but come on. Something is wrong here. East Bengal should have at least 1 win. I am not asking them to move onto the group stage or win the damn cup but get 1 win. They were yet again blown out. You as the fan should be outraged. Like you said, East Bengal have done so many great things in the past, where is that now! They are not living up to expectations. Every AFC Cup season past 3 years East Bengal were better than the other Indian club with them but that other club did better. Obviously it is not technical or skill... it is mentally. Something is wrong mentally when the players play in the AFC Cup.</div>
I will just remind one thing here. In 2010, when East Bengal were really bad in AFC (0-6 kinds of scoreline), one of the officials (probably Kalyan Majumdar) went on record to tell the media that "AFC Cup jeete ki hobe?" which means "what will they gain by winning AFC Cup". This was after a match in Howrah Stadium most probably.<div><br></div><div>This had seriously infuriated me and was one of the hotly discussed statement on IFF(Orkut). But that should be considered as a thing of the past. You have to watch the matches to believe how much effort the players have put in in the AFC Cup. Initially I hadn't watched them and was upset with the results. But after watching them, I think that that statement of Mr. Majumdar was an aberration.</div>
<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">In that case I hope that East Bengal dont play in the AFC Cup next season and play in the AFC Presidents Cup. Maybe 1 win is a possibility there.</font><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Come on!!! They are currently 0-0-5!!! How can we all say that they are giving all there hearts for the game at the moment. I am sorry, you can bash me all you want and say how much I dont watch Indian football and all that fucking shit... trust me I already get lots of it... but this is a shit performance from East Bengal and we all know it, they are a much better club than this.</font></div>
This change of mentality in eb has come thanks to TJM who knows the value of AFC CUP(Europa League).....

I mean is there really that much a gap between the best in India and the best in say Yemen.</font></div>
