Bears repeating we're gonna be a giant fucking headache to face in the PL next season. Methinks the Howe-high-press a la 2022/23 will be back on full force.

This is a brilliant post like. Sums up exactly how I feel about it.

 

Even worse that it was fucking City who couldn't just show up and get it done.

 

Tbf, City had already won plenty, there was always the fear they might not be that motivated. Most of them were on the beach already more than likely.

Well, I disagree.

Fair enough. It is recognised by UEFA as a major competiton and the rest of football fans. Just not you then!

True, just said I’d rather win the League cup. It’s a classic cup, a lot of history. The same with Europa League/UEFA cup. The conference league is a Mickey Mouse cup.

Beggars can't be choosers pal! I'd take any trophy with the possible exception of the pizza one the mackems won

Is there still a chance that Chelsea get booted out due to not complying with UEFA's PSR rules? #clutching

Nah, not a fucking chance, all fucking paper talk. They might be at risk next year, but they will likely be able to fudge some money around and get away with it, like the hotel deal they have just got away with.

The Conference would have been a good way to get our UEFA coefficient up so that we don't get another group of death when we get CL again, never mind the real chance of actually winning a major trophy.

you cant with the new format?

Ultimately I can tell myself a lot of things to try to make myself feel better - and honestly our club will continue its upward trajectory no matter what - but it fucking sucks to miss out on Europe.

Aye, in my opinion if the competition you win, get you into Europe for winning it, then it’s a major trophy.

We’ve been in one final since 99 and not won anything since like colour TV was invented. 

 

Turning nose up at ECL is mad. Want us in more competitions, because it’s a chance to win something. When there’s not a chance to win a trophy, what’s the point?

Still applies, not as much, but still applies.

Also you can qualify for the Club World Cup on the back of coefficients over a number of years as well.

It's honestly amazing the consistency with which we cannot have fucking anything nice. :lol:

Have they got away with the hotel thing? I thought the PL we’re still yet to approve it

The Premier League brought in a high level employee on the behalf of the likes of Chelsea to stop the takeover. You think they will punish Chelsea for ‘balancing the book’ that would assist us, when they have sat on it for a couple of months already?

MU winning today makes it a dark day 

 

disgraceful no show from City 

 

players like Akanji shooting miles over from 40 yards which allowed them to run down the clock more was so pathetic and infuriating

on the plus side we managed top 4 and a cup final last season without European football so could end up a blessing in disguise if we can go one better

Of course I’d take it, I just don’t think it’s a major trophy and would much rather win the league cup, for example.

I'm not super disappointed to not play against Vejle, AEK Athens and some Kasakhstan team, but no Europe will add unfounded pressure on everyone next season. It's a blow for us for sure.
