Our team seems to struggle with the physicality of the Premier League. Dorgu, Garnacho, Hojlund etc. get pushed off the ball easier in England but not so much when playing a European side. I just wanted to avoid a Premier League side completely, especially one that has already beaten us three times this season.

I will correct you on this one. We look back on our Europa League win with Mourinho very fondly, and the loss against Villarreal still hurts. The prestige and financial gain from playing in the CL is just so huge that it becomes the #1 priority, but it's not like we don't care about the trophy. It was the same when we won the league cup. People think we approach these competitions like we're still the dominant side under Fergie and it's not the case. All silverware these days is hard to come by and we want to win things, especially given the season has been so poor. I don't think we'll beat Spurs, but I really fucking want to. I really wish it was Bodo/Glimt instead and I'd be looking to the final with huge confidence.

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.

Just remember JT, if we win it's always because the other team aren't good, or refs, or witchcraft or something.

Can we stop this please.

Sure three of our starting back five are out too. Balances out? We've this bad habit of conceding four goals lately. An early goal and I'll settle.

Glad everyone seems confident we'll sail through. The tie is not over.

Sure thing Ben.

Money please.

Think I'd be happy to go if that happens.

Average player. Can be hard to play against when he's on a good day due to his pace. But no work ethic and a bad attitude on and off the pitch. All of the leaks have stopped since he's left and all. It was clearly him and his brother all along. Horrible influence. I'd be shocked if he ever played for us again. I was devastated by his injury simply because it's going to make it harder to sell him.
