Ask and you shall receive. I think in this instance we should give the bloke a pass, he was clearly horny and just wanted to get his end away. Picture 1 Picture 2

Have you got that in high res ? Looks like it might be juicy Amount of blokes that you could see on telly that were pissing about with their phones during the game was a disgrace, not even taking photos or vids, just scrolling I know the standard of football on display was woeful, but you’re watching your team in a cup final for fucksake, you can go for 90 mins without your fucking phone We’re a society of addicts

Yes Yes No. Were we spending the circa 2.5 times the dosh?

Is this a general question or do you mean what's the lowest we could finish? Although unlikely there is a scenario where we could finish 7th and therefore go into Europa Conference For that to happen Villa and Forest would need to win, plus we'd need to lose by 4 more than Chelsea

It's not 4 teams, you face 8 different teams So you could play Real Madrid away but won't get to face them at home

I think for years the common consensus has been that people don't like the idea of CL teams that failed in the group stages getting to drop into the Europa League (If I was on a laptop and had the time I reckon a search on this forum would support that view) I do think a lot of the criticism or downplaying of the Europa League is because the final was contested between 16th and 17th place in the league, to make sense of a unique situation it's easy for people to just say it's a poor competition now I'd much rather hang fire and see how the competition fares in the coming seasons as I doubt very much we'll get to see the final contested again between two teams underperforming to such a level It's a great win for Spurs and they should rightly celebrate it and will rightly dismiss anyone trying to shit on the achievement just as we rightly dismissed anyone trying to claim the League Cup isn't a proper trophy

Without been to pessimistic is the Europa league the worst thing that can happen to us ?

No one told me being good would be this stressful

Casemiro has £18 million to pick up over the next year, Mount has £39 million over the next 3, how can they possibly get rid of these type of players

A £29 Million villa must be some gaff

You know you've had it incredibly well when your lowest point supporting your team is losing a European cup final.

The Man Utd Internet meltdown has been glorious. I like how the most painful thing about it appears to be losing to Spurs. Neither Liverpool or Man City seemed especially bothered about the fact that they'd lost to teams that had gone longer without a trophy than Tottenham.

The Story of Mike Ashley. The first comment on that video:

You absewlewtly know they’re having the driest roast dinners known man.

It’s your Athletic podcast. As Checko has said as we’ve been absolutely shite for ages and when your own club brings you no joy it’s imperative you learn the art of the hate watch and associated schadenfreude from a young age. All these lads having an awful time and paying through the nose for it is chefs kiss stuff. As a wider point seeing proper Man U fans turn more and more against us and other formerly inconsequential teams as we’ve got better and as your boys flounder has been great stuff. That it is in part due to the toxicity of the fan base has been an added delight. I was in the minority that wanted you to prevail last night but either way I couldn’t lose. Laaaavely as Glenn Hoddle would say.

Everything about the shake-up boils down to appeasing the ESL clubs, particularly the six PL ones. UEFA has engineered ways to maintain 'elite' club participation in the Champions League. Their first proposals in 2021 literally suggested two high-revenue-generating teams could qualify for the CL even if they underperformed domestically (i.e. that coefficient horseshit). I don't think it's far-fetched to say making the EL easier to win is just that, dressed up as meritocracy. Surprise surprise that two of the three ESL clubs who didn't feature in the CL this season ended up in the EL final. The other absentee is in the Conference League final. As for revenue; all of the clubs who compete in the Champions League get more revenue than the previous format, because there's more games. That probably covers the shortfall they might otherwise have achieved via finishing 3rd and having an EL run.

His first touch looks absolutely terrible, Delap looks a better player technically, and Delap doesn't look like ever being world class. With good coaching could be a very useful striker...either way, considering we need a right winger, an incisive attacking midfielder, at least 1 center back, I'd hope we sign either a RW or attacking mid who can play striker, like Mbuemo. Ideally we'd want a couple youngsters good enough to improve the bench in midfield and either forward or defence. We need a lot to maintain top 4/5 while also playing in Europe. Wonder if we could get away with a 150mil net spend...or if Mitchell can pick up a couple of positions for 30-40 instead of 50-60. Always wondered why we havent heard much of hiring new scouts to have a constant presence all over Europe and occasionally in South America

Bruno F would be a near-perfect KDB replacement for Man City. Him on 300 grand a week would be lower wages! They could roll out another "Welcome to Manchester" poster like they did with Tevez. Rodri back, Bruno F creating, and maybe a defender or two with better fitness than Stones and they'd be back to 85+ points. That Bruno will be way out of our wages-for-age-profile league, but presumably Isak will end the summer as our new top earner. What we willing to pay will have to ratchet up too.

If Sheffield win this is their end for a good while...even Southampton are far better than that shower of shit...League 1 again ?
