I live in a different post-industrial mill town in Greater Manchester but the dynamic is still the same!That's rough. Which part of Stockport are you from?

Yeah sure I'll be happy but comparing CL to Europa is like comparing a Vauxhall to a Ferrari. Both are cars but you wont talk in a condescending tone to a guy who wants the latter would ya?Well we have a chance to win the Europa League!
So you won’t be happy or celebrate if we win it then, another European trophy, to add to our collection?
Might as well not bother watching
To compare the Europa League to a Vauxhall is a bit disrespectful. It’s not a carabao cup. Even then winning that is something to be proud of. Look at City and they’ve won it 4 on the bounce, it’s still a trophy at the end of the day, not the ultimate trophy but it’s a trophy.Yeah sure I'll be happy but comparing CL to Europa is like comparing a Vauxhall to a Ferrari.

Europa is for teams who finish beneath the CL spots and crash out of the group stages.To compare the Europa League to a Vauxhall is a bit disrespectful. It’s not a carabao cup.

The Europa League is still a prestigious cup.Sure it’s not as prestigious as a UCL the one everyone wants to have. But it’s still a European cup and we should be proud to win one. Otherwise what’s the point in watching them play in it?
There’d be a lot of people p*ssed off if we got knocked out and #OleOut would start trending so they care enough to get #OleOut trending so the Europa League must mean something.
What I’m trying to say is don’t be so dismissive of the Europa League. Sure we would like the UCL but the Europa is a good competition to win. It’s not like it’s been a walk in the park either.
Maybe we could use it as a springboard to win even more next year or even the UCL?
Definitely not. No one gives a shit about runner-ups. A trophy is still a trophy at the end of the day. Atletico Madrid won the Europa League before using that as a springboard to become a powerhouse in Europe and compete consistently in the CL. Sevilla might not be a European powerhouse but they are still regarded as a top team as you can see with them challenging for the title and now consistently qualifies for the CL.Europa is for teams who finish beneath the CL spots and crash out of the group stages.
Sure there is some prestige associated with it because its a European trophy and I'll be chuffed if we win it but lets not kid ourselves, its not a competition we should be in. Seville has won it a billion times that didn't change their status from mid-table mediocrity to European powerhouse.
I'm not being dismissive of Europa but you can't justify winning Europa as a reason not to be jealous of City or Chelsea.
Reckon playing the CL final is more prestigious than winning Europa tbh.
As unsurprising as it is depressing.COVID season, the two deepest sides in Europe, the ones who spent significant money on transfers, face each other in CL final
Also Tuchel proving the importance of managers in the modern game once again. Small wonder we're starting to see "big" transfer fees for managers now
I cant agree with that, you really think only playing in the CL Final is a better achievement the winning the EL , winning actual silverware.Europa is for teams who finish beneath the CL spots and crash out of the group stages.

Nonsense. What would you choose a chance to play in a CL final or guaranteed EL title?I cant agree with that, you really think only playing in the CL Final is a better achievement the winning the EL , winning actual silverware.
100% rubbish, losing in a Final is horrible, nobody remembers who lost any CL Final.

CL Final with Chelsea is about the worse outcome, only thing worse would be City v LiverpoolIt makes me sick to my stomach that fecking City are in a CL final.
Saw your location, fellow Wythenshawe dude. Seen the number of City shirts slowly creeping up over the last few years? Especially with the kids. fecks me right off, they used to call us glory hunters.CL Final with Chelsea is about the worse outcome, only thing worse would be City v Liverpool
plenty of them around Wytheshawe, a know quite a few and some are OK , but most are just bitter and some nasty bitter.Saw your location, fellow Wythenshawe dude.

Thats like your opinion manI cant agree with that, you really think only playing in the CL Final is a better achievement the winning the EL , winning actual silverware.

Can't understand what he says but I can guess, bottom line I think is that he wants Hazard out of Real Madrid & I agree.twitter]1390077043468013573
well yes, just like yours is ?Thats like your opinion man
It'll always be the "Thursday nights, Channel 5" Cup to meYeah sure I'll be happy but comparing CL to Europa is like comparing a Vauxhall to a Ferrari. Both are cars but you wont talk in a condescending tone to a guy who wants the latter would ya?
Yet we fondly remember Gerrards slipNobody remembers 2nd place in anything. Win it or you are first losers.
Disappointed you didn't get the Big Lebowski reference.well yes, just like yours is ?
Just like aholes everybody has one, is that not the whole point !
Have to admit, not seen itDisappointed you didn't get the Big Lebowski reference.
It's almost as if selling Hazard and Morata for shit loads gave us a lot to play with.I’m not sure what “this” is but it does seem as though spending an absolute shit load of money on new players, when everyone else is broke, then getting some easy draws has been enough to get Chelsea to a CL final.
I still Tuchel might fall one short in his quest to match the achievements of the mighty Roberto DiMatteo, mind you.
With you on that, I do not remember 2009 and 2011 with any fondness thinking wow we got to the Champs league final how prestigious. Our 1991 Cup winners cup win is still one of the greatest nights as a United fan.I cant agree with that, you really think only playing in the CL Final is a better achievement the winning the EL , winning actual silverware.

No one gives a shit about Europa either mate. If you're in a CL final you're the 2nd best team in Europe. You can land a couple of half decent players on the back of that. Trying selling well we have won a couple of Europa's in the past, that's prestigious init to a half decent player.Definitely not. No one gives a shit about runner-ups. A trophy is still a trophy at the end of the day. Atletico Madrid won the Europa League before using that as a springboard to become a powerhouse in Europe and compete consistently in the CL. Sevilla might not be a European powerhouse but they are still regarded as a top team as you can see with them challenging for the title and now consistently qualifies for the CL.
This will not stand man!Have to admit, not seen it
That's why he lost a semi final.Zidane doesn't lose finals...
Record remains intact.That's why he lost a semi final.
Horses for courses, with Arsenal (if they keep Arteta) it will probably mean shit in the grand scheme of things as they've raised their game for cups and still not progressed, Chelsea and United i think would get a hell of a lot out of winning their respective European tournaments this season more than they would league.Too much significance is generally given to cup competitions. If Chelsea and Arsenal win in the finals, it doesn't mean they're better than United and City, and shouldn't mean they've had better seasons. It's great to win a cup, but people take it too seriously.
Someone needs to remind them about the FA Cup SF the other week.Just popped on Bluemoon. No point going to the final, seems they've already won it according to their lot. Walk in the park
Got a soft spot for the lil guy eh VO?Going to have to support the poor lowly Russian oligarch as the plucky underdog against the sovereign wealth of the UAE, I guess.
