After winning the EL recently, and losing a CL Final relatively recently, obviously the Europa League is better on the day and losing a CL Final sucks arse, and the trophy is better than no trophy but ffs look where we were when we were losing CL Finals to Barca and look where we were two years ago... it’s not even close. I know exactly where I’d rather be.
I know, just the way RCL got you to accept you would want Spurs to win the CL under a given situation was well done
Well obviously. Everybody would rather be in the CL. The issue here is about on the day, what would you rather, win a European pot or lose a European pot ?
Well it's a no brainer innit. It's like saying would you rather see Liverpool win the CL or watch your missus get plugged by some 6ft stud with a giant nob ?
Completely agree. I hate Chelsea but when it comes to this upcoming Europa final, I hope they smash Arsenal out the park.
Being serious for a moment... The EL is only relevant cos of the CL place. This is because UEFA and the premier league have treated everything other than the CL and Premier league as a joke. Allowing non champions into the CL is ****ing moronic imho. This killed the European Cup Winners Cup and led to the UEFA Cup becoming the stupid EL. From the late 1990s til now the top clubs, plsyers, managers and fsns belittled any trophy other than the CL or title. The FA Cup, League Cup and EL are referred to as mickey mouse trophies...and it became more important to be top 4 thsn to win these (until EL had a CL place given to the winners). Man City were knocked out by league 1 wigan under Pep Guardiola yet it was treated as Meh...cos he got top top 4 that season. When spurs won the League Cup snd came outside the top 4 Wenger clsimed the "top 4 was a more important trophy" and sll the pundits went slkng with it. Money means everything...and that means CL is vital...no CL and you are severely disadvantaged. As an old bastard I hate it.
Same in reverse bruv. Not sure why Spurly gets all rattled about it when Arsenal want Chelsea to beat you. These are the laws of our rivalry. It doesn't matter who you're playing, the oppo is always the preferred winner.
So you agree that winning a cup is better than losing one. Have a word with your fellow Spuds here, coz they ****ed in the head bruv.
They're ****ed in the head? Your the gooner who wants spurs to win the CL mate...now THAT'S ****ed in the head
Yes but winning the pl misses out many top teams in europe so is a lesser trophy going by your logic. In most seasons such as 2016 it had lmaybe the 10th, 11th 20th and 22nd best teams so was a **** competition
It’s a tricky one. Arsenal are pretty **** but at least they are a proper football club. If they agreed to accept relegation to make up for the cheating 100 years back I’d be prepared to forgive them. There is nothing to like about Chelsea.
Of course the PL is a lower status to the CL. The hierarchy in England goes CL, PL, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, EL, Championship.
Not for me mate, Arsenal is and always will be the number one rival in my eyes. The only time I'd ever want Arsenal to beat Chelsea was if it was of any benefit to Spurs, other than that, I'd always want Chelsea to beat Arsenal.
Lol heard it all now. You put EL after FA cup and carabao cup. You do realise the rewards financially, year after, prestigiousness is all greater than those Also im glad you dont have losers of the champions league in the list either
i cant say this because we havent won a trophy for 11 years, init Trebs? but i gotta say i agree with you Tel
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Great Post It's funny how people have changed their perception of Trophies importance ! Football us getting pushed more and more towards elitism ! Devaluing everything but the CL and Prem is ****ing terrible and the public have fallen hook line and sinker for it !
and there you have it Youre not bothered about the trophy, the prestige...you just want to get back into the competition we are playing the final in on June 1st Saturday 8pm KO at the Wanda Metropolitano, home of Athletico Madrid You wasted the morning for **** wtf
