So just to clarify you are saying football shouldn't use league positions to determine who was the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. best teams over 38 games that season?I think, if we want to be literal, you can't say, we were the second best team just because of a league position. The league position is based on results, not performances. Apart from that, I don't think there is much to discussing semantics about what somebody considers good or bad or the best or 2nd best
We started a new season?If we really were the 2nd best team of the league, what happened this season then? Nobody outside of United fanbase would call United the 2nd best team of the country based on last season. We exited the CL in the group stage, we lost to some of the worst sides of the league, we finished more or less on the same points we did the year before and we managed to not manage to score more than one goal about fecking Villareal. The "7th best team from Spain".
I'm not sure why some are having a hard time wrapping their heads around the concept league competitions.
Have you informed the Premier League mate? They were working under the impression we were when they handed out the prize money and allocated CL spots.Nobody outside of United fanbase would call United the 2nd best team of the country based on last season.
