The final being held in the third biggest stadium in Poland is hilariously on brand for the Conference League (no offense to Poland).

Now that we've finished ahead of Man United / every club over the course of the PL ... are Spurs the only other club to do that without having won a title? I didn't check every season but I don't think Everton have ever finished ahead of Arsenal.

The magic hat

That’s less of a pen than the one on Gordon.

Feel like Mbuemo is auditioning right now.

Man United 1-0 up at the same time

What could have been with him all season

Went through the back of Bruno for now reason.

Him and Sean the clear weak links.

Bruno is so done with Longstaff.

Really hope tomorrow isn’t his last game for us.

This is why I'd be so underwhelmed. I don't think I'm good at evaluating GKs and, if it's true we're interested, I'll accept Ramsdale is better based on our staff thinking so and him being higher in the England pecking order. But there's absolutely nothing to suggest he has a ceiling order of magnitudes higher than Pope that would justify us spending our limited resources on him. I can accept spending money on a GK for a potential transformative upgrade, not a moderate one. Hopefully it's just like many other links where we'd be interested at a big enough discount that is likely not coming.

It’ll be the most disappointed I’ve been in our transfer business if we spend a bunch of money to replace Pope with Ramsdale.

Counterpoint: everything is bad. Always.

The only saving grace of this season is that Bruno stayed healthy and miraculously avoided the two game ban.

It's so stupid that we're losing this game.

How many games against Man United has this been said?

I barely get excited when we win a corner these days.

How is that not a penalty and how did that not go in?

Krafth claimed Garnacho there and then just let him go.

37 minutes to go

Is Miggy not fit for 60 minutes? Would far prefer him at RW, especially with Trippier back.

It seems illogical but I'm worried about their front four.

Two things are true here: 1) the current implementation of VAR is a disaster for a multitude of reasons 2) going back to a world where there's no recourse for blatantly wrong decisions would be incredibly shortsighted

This is also why people need to not freak out in seasons we don't qualify for the CL. If you add us and Villa to the mix then every season half of the clubs who feel like they are CL caliber will not qualify. And half of those that miss out will miss out on Europe altogether. (pending cup winners and extra Euro places of course) It's a different world now and the only way you can safely assume a Champions League place is if you are a genuine title challenger.
