I’ve seen us lose the odd one here and there. Not many important ones though.
Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Martinelli baby.
Well done. Good night for all of us.
You have won 20 out of 27.
We have won 8 of 18.
You lost one final on penalties, we have lost two (excluding Charity shields)
What's funny about that?Apparently City can win everything and it means nothing because they're a plastic club. So the last decade or so has meant nothing
Was wondering what the commiserations was for
Shocking result, saw they were up 1-0 and assumed they were through
Why do teams from the best ever league in the world keep getting knocked out of Europe from teams in farmers’ leagues?
Best team in England knocked out by the 4th best team in Portugal. Strange one.

I think Utd will get Juve, Roma or Sevilla, probably the 3 teams Id rather not get, all 3 being historical with former players, managers and really good in this tournament.
Roma are not really well coached like really. They have been so hopeless and up and down most of the season. They were outplayed by sassuolo last week though kumbulla was red carded but sassuolo was already 2-1 ahead and Roma were already being run ragged by Lauriente, pinamonti and Berrardi. Before that they were beaten by fecking Cremonese who never won this season. And these are some recent examples, their whole season has been been like that whilst their general play has been awful. Awful. Only Dybala has been decent for them. Abraham is having a shit season. Belotti is yet to score a goal I think. So on and so forth.
Personally I think it's moronic to think keepers should just save penalties. The odds are so heavily stacked against them now, with not allowed to move on the line and all that.
Oh look, “I just looked at scoreline, didn’t even see the match that’s how much I cared and let me post it with a laughing emoji to really make you believe that I DONOT CARE”

You are fooling no one. You saw it, you cried maybe still crying. Eat shit. Ha

You described their penalties as “as well taken penalties as you’ll ever see”. No they weren’t. 5 well taken penalties as I’ll ever see are those that give the keeper no chance.
I hope we draw Roma
No.
Yup pretty much how I feel. And if I'm ranking our rivalries, including both recent and historical times, City and Liverpool rank far ahead of teams I dislike.
Fixed it for you.
The same mugs who would moan if we had gone more than six years without winning anything. Only the CL is good enough to win.Heh fair play!
Martin Keown - before the penalty shootout. Arsenal really need to win this shootout for the winning mentality to keep the momentum going.
Martin Keown - after the penalty shootout. Maybe this could be a blessing in disguise going forward. Arsenal can concentrate now on the league.

Order of preference
1. Bayer Leverkussen
2. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise
3. Sevilla
4. Sporting
5. Feyenoord
6. Roma (would be Jose this an that and awful matches)
7. Juventus
Knowing United's luck it's probably Juve next with the winner to play in form Feyenoord or Jose Roma.

Those user tags eh, what important information they convey!
Also, 'eat shit'? Dude.
... I... may need a new tagline
Another trip to spain incoming. Would prefer to miss the italian sides for next 2 rounds
Why in the hell would you want ANOTHER Spanish team haha
Ten Hag can deal with them better than the last few managers.
I know we're all bored of Spanish teams but you guys realise Sevilla are absolutely dreadful this season and are roped in a relegation battle?
Yes they're the kings of this competition but we should have more than enough to put them aside.
Feyenoord and obviously Juventus are the two I'd be keen to avoid. The rest I'll be fairly happy with.

Some interesting facts -
Except USG and Leverkusen, we have players transferred in or out from/to other clubs in Europa league
And also there are 6 Italian teams in knockout stages. Is Serie A back to its best in Europe ?
Edit: Leverkusen also have Fosuh Mensah. So it is only USG

Well I just don't agree that it means nothing because they have unlimited resources. I understand the argument that it all feels a bit empty, but it doesn't feel like that when they thrash us almost every time we play.
And more interestingly, if United follow a similar fate, where would you stand then? Genuinely curious to know.
Well with Arsenal and Barcelona gone - we must be considered huge favourites now. Not really sure who I prefer in the draw.
Sevilla are awful this season, Feyenoord have done really well - but they are still a Dutch side and are only leading in Holland because Ajax lost their entire team, and manager. A Belgian side hardly scares anyone. Leverkusen have also been really poor this season. Why so many consider Feyenoord a team they want to avoid is beyond me. I will take Feyenoord over Roma, Juventus and Sociedad any day of the week.
So I would say Feyenoord, Union Saint-Gilloise, Sevilla and Leverkusen are all good draws.
I would consider Juventus the toughest, followed by Sociedad, Roma and Sporting.

Juventus arnt the toughest, they are 7th in Serie A with no chance of making top 4 and are 9 points behind Roma
I want Juventus or Sevilla, Sporting now that we had no chance for title challenge. It's a bit boring having to play less teams as seen with this Real Betis tie.
Juventus got 15 point deduction. Add that 15 points back, they're second in Serie A!!!
It is true that Roma have mastered the dark arts of shithousery (before Mou arrived, we usually were on the receiving end of it), but it's also true that Real Sociedad are the dirtiest team we've played all season, bar none. Rico made 3 or 4 yellow-deserving fouls in the first half alone, including stepping on Dybala's heel. Sorloth intentionally elbowed Cristante's ribs. As Vinicius (Europe's most fouled player) put it, opposition players are encouraged when the ref doesn't punish them even after repeated fouls. We started accentuating contact to draw calls and cards so that we could breathe a little and conserve some energy for the derby.
Can confirm we aren't that good. The Sassuolo game isn't indicative of anything though, Roma were unusually reckless and conceded more spaces than usual. It was only the second time we've conceded more than 2 goals, and the 8th time we've conceded more than 1, in all competitions this season.
Apologies. Didn’t mean it. Don’t mind.
With Arsenal out we should Put maximum focus on Europa League. No disrespect to the teams left but we are the strongest.
Agreed. 5th and the Europa League will always be better than 2nd-4th and no Europa League.
So you're a Roma fan.
How'd you rate Mou's tenure so far? Are you Jose out? Is he underperforming? Is the Roma fanbase fed up with him yet?
I posted that comment when I went to bed and Arsenal were leading. Presumed they'd win.
Great to see they lost after ET.
