The big points are for champions league progression. I don’t think they get many for going through the Europa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 That was mad, is it the 3rd place that drops into europa league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Very entertaining game spoiled by United fielding a team wearing two different crests. Should be thrown out of the competition and banned from European football for a decade. #proportionate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side, Man Utd getting clogged up with Europa League fixtures is really good for our chances of finishing above them for the first time in about 35 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I see people making that comparison a lot but I can’t see it myself. Zidane was an absolute magician with the ball at his feet, his range of passing and his close control were off the charts good. Bellingham is more of a killer, he just hurts the opposition with everything he does. Some of it might be just how the game has gone, I think if Zidane had been around today he’d have probably played in the opposition box more than he did in his heyday but I dunno, Bellingham doesn’t really remind me of him.

I couldn't care less, I'd take it if they still gave out places for fair play, hook or by crook we've got to do it before Newcastle pull away and Chelsea and utd recover, this year is a great year for it If Newcastle getting far in the CL gets us a CL place then who cares, as long as they don't win anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The places will go to the best leagues based on merit. Fifth will either give champions league or europa league football. I’d much prefer champions league. And it could make a more exciting finish to the season if there were five places up for grabs. It would be a shame to finish fifth and miss out when England is almost always in those top two spots.

But we're relying on SaudiCastle who haven't been in the CL for decades and Manure who are absolutely shyte. In the past England has had 4 good teams in the CL. This year there's only 2.
