    You're arguing against a difference of opinion though. No one has categorically said they don't want us to compete in the UCL, and I said in my original post that it would benefit the project in the long run by giving us the best chance to actually win something by competing in the EL...

    I'll think twice about posting an opinion on here next time.

    The CL form looks better because we've featured there more in the last decade than Europa, and this coincides with us having our best team in 30 years under Poch. However if we're really using past performances as a metric we've actually won the Europa League twice. This is why I don't like...

    Now compare that to the Champions League and there is zero chance we get passed anyone other than Dortmund.

    No arguments here, but the bold bit is the crux of our problem in Europa. If we take it seriously, and assume the squad strength will be like for like, Europa is clearly the easier of the two to actually achieve something in.

    Only player I can think of that isn't really similar to Wanyama but just as talented in his own way is Camavinga but we're never signing a player of that caliber from Madrid.

    It's simple really: 1. Past results have no bearing on the present 2. Overall lower level of competition which logically speaking gives us a better chance. 3. Using our fairytale run to the CL final is pretty redundant as an argument, we are far less likely to achieve that again than having a...

    Honestly, I'd rather we qualify for Europa or the Conference league for next season. We aren't winning the UCL anytime soon with the other super clubs in the form and with Madrid getting so much stronger in the summer. Have a proper crack at actually winning something obtainable, build from...

    This is honestly the best post I've seen since the result yesterday. It will take time, there will be embarrassing losses along the way but we need to stick to the plan and make progress each season. Eventually we could find ourselves in a similar position. Ange has honestly over achieved...

    By the end of the season he should return atleast 10+ G/A combined, that alone makes him a no brainer at this point. You have clubs spending double that for players that have a lower return in terms of G/A. Solomon and Gil out, Werner + another in and we've significantly strengthened the LW...

    One thing I noticed that endeared me to him more than anything is how happy he was to score for us this weekend. We need players that above all else love the club and love the fans, this always goes a long way in their performances and effort too.

    Conte will do well at Bayern, if Alonso leaves at the end of the season which is highly likely, it’s back to a 1 horse race in the Bundesliga. He’ll be backed with whatever he asks for personnel wise, and this is why he’ll succeed there because that’s the type of manager he is.

    It’s the reality of being a human being, and the fact that a team consists of 11 of them, there will always be room for mistakes and errors. Messi and Ronaldo are capable of horrendous mistakes too. It’s just human nature. What I think you’re alluding to in the last sentence plays a big part...

    In hindsight, Levy was trying to put a bandage on a bullet wound with both JM and Conte, it was never going to work out because of how he runs the club. It's crazy to think that he couldn't see it, and that we all knew what would happen if he didn't loosen the purse strings. Honestly, we...

    Just look at that goal difference in comparison to the teams around us, and we got 9 of those 15 points in the first 3 games of the season. It just so happened that the teams above us weren't too far ahead already, but we were the worst team in the league at that point and if Levy hadn't made...

    This part I've put in bold is probably why it seemed like more of an achievement that it really was.
