They need a physical monster in that back line ala Walker. Pep also liked a fairly small squad, so Tino’s positional flexibility is a big bonus.

Tgarve is right though. Nobody cared when it was Frankfurt or Sevilla getting a spot in the Champions League via the Europa. It's only an issue now because of who the finalists are. I do find it funny that some people think the 5th place finishers in the league have a right to be in the Champions League, yet the Europa League champions somehow aren't worthy.

Why?

cant believe that video of them being waved off with flags and flares is real. bless them. is it just the staff from their training ground do you reckon?

How are signing on and agents fees treated for PSR purposes? I have a suspicion that the large number we saw for agents fees last year could be linked to this transfer as there weren’t many others to associate it with. If we also loaded his wages via a signing on fee to avoid upsetting the balance across the squad then I fear from a financial perspective this isn’t quite as lucrative as it appears, but I’m not sure if that doesn’t matter for PSR sales / revenue purposes.

Nether did Kyle walker.

I think he is too attacking for Liverpool side. Salah doesn't track back so that side would be exposed all the time.

Livramento looks nothing like Pep player to me.

This is the latest one I can find:

I’ll try find it.

they’re both insanely fake. change your nickers lads

I'd prefer Spurs to win as they might hold on to Ange longer. Secondly Man U need to suffer some bloody hit for all their mismanagement, both sporting and financial. At this rate, each of the last three seasons progressively worse League wise could result in a trophy each season. Meanwhile we win after 70 years and it's our best season. Ridiculously jammy.

For life. Vichy France behaviour marra.

They’re not even the right template to possibly fool someone.

No way this is real. As bad as Adidas can be there's no way they'd have orange on orange for their stripes

Those away and 3rd kits are just DH Gate specials based on word of mouth, aren't they? Been around/on there for a few weeks now.

Ban.

Either one gets CL is a bigger crime - currently 15th and 16th respectively

The Europa was a trophy that was beneath Man Utd not exactly a lifetime ago and now they're absolutely desperate to win it. For that reason I hope they bomb in the final. Hopefully there'll be severe consequences on & off the pitch if they have zero European football next season.

Many, possibly most of those posting about Jimmy Hill on RTG weren't even alive in 1977. Would they have not done the same had the boot been on the other foot? Possibly not, but probably yes. If things had been the other way round they would have thought Coventry pathetic knackers for still whining about it nearly half a century later. They would be right. They should just let it go and enjoy tonight for what it is, a chance. I will be watching, my first Sunderland game of the season on TV ( I occasionally attend the SoL if I can get in for free) and I hope they win.

As far as Europa goes, I've stated already that I didn't think 3rd placed "losers" in the CL group stages should've parachuted into the EL. Ergo that means teams from the top performing leagues (Eng, Spain, Germany, Italy and, at a push France) that finish outside of their CL qualification will always be favourites for EL glory. However, when that means 5th 6th (?) placed because CL qualifications take the very best 4 then you have to take a long hard look at the depth of those leagues. There were still some decent teams in the EL at the start. You also have to consider these teams ability to play in both domestic and Europe competitions effectively. Look how we struggled. I think the Spurs v Man U thing is an anomaly. Need to see how it goes. I think the bigger issue, for UEFA, is Chelsea pissing the Conference with their 2nd team. Desperately bad look.
