.....swap our season for Utd's?

 

We needed cl football to get money to atract better players to progress forward. Utd don't need that as will pay the going rate for quality.

They won trophies which is what you always want as a fan, but feck me I couldn't put up with how fecking boring Mourinho has made them look, successful or not.

Don't we both have to qualify still? Not sure how it works lol

 

I wouldn't swap anything with utd

 

Not even the odd insult?

 

They go straight into group stage, we have a play-off round.

 

****ers

 

Well, we knew that already.

 

No. I'm quite happy pretending they don't exist.

 

I would exchange the Wenger Trophy for the Europhy.

 

Nah would I heck

Souless and desperate club now. Much sooner do it our way

I do love the Europa pot though, very nice looking trophy.

None of them are happy to have won the League cup or Europa though as they've sneered at everyone for years saying "Them ones dont count.They're pointless" So I cant see how they can enjoy this seasons bought trophies tbh

 

And 6th place?
I wouldn't.
It's always good to win a pot, of course, and I'm not trying to denigrate the EL, but the only real measure of your status is league position. Obviously we don't know if we can build on this, but if it's the start of an upward trajectory for us, then it's far more valuable in the long run.

 

Imo, order of importance

Champions League >
Premier League >
Europa League >
Top 4 >
FA Cup >
Top 7 >
League Cup >
World Club Cup >
Not getting relegated >
Charity Shield

 

tricky one.

Liverpool pro - exciting football at times. Especially first half where we were brilliant.

Liverpool pro - finished 4th, strong points total and clear improvement.

Liverpool con - no trophies and only made play off of CL

Ubited pro - 2 trophies and group stages of CL

united con - 6th place finish shows no improvement on previous years despite big signings.

United con - horrible footvall to endure all season, especially at home where worse than us breaking down teams.


Can make a point for either, if we'd won a cup would be easy choice but united got to celebrate two finals which very jealous about but do it playing dull football. Honestly, can't really split them.

 

I repeat, the only real measure of your status is league position.
When we won the CL it was a great adventure, but it meant nothing beyond that, we were still pants in the league. Winning cups - any cup - is (relatively) easier than the league - a handful of games, poor opponents in some, a bit of luck, nowhere near as testing as the PL.

 

Noone remembers who finished 4th two years ago. (If I had to bet it was probably Arse) Most people remember who won the Europa.

 

In a heartbeat. A trophy out weighs fourth place. Two trophies doubly out weigh fourth place. 2 + CL > CL x 0.5

That said, 9-1-0 = ZZZZZZZZZ

 

End result or performance too?

 

Whole caboodle.

 

No

 

Obviously yeah
