Zatman Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Mourinho has absolutely done a Mourinho semi final special. 1 shot, 28% possession and got the 0-0 draw he wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then so far the 2 conference league finals has produced 2 Italian clubs, 1 English and 1 dutch clubs when the idea was for the little leagues to have their day out.

Villatillidie95 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 All kicked off in Holland at the end of Hammers v Alkmaar, AZ ultras stormed the hammers away end, or the bit were the players families were situated. There is video of it on social media, marlon harewood is in the section too. Suppose we will have to deal with that type of thing on european trips as they will see villa as a big english club and want to fight because of it.

Dutch football has had hooligan problems in recent weeks. West Ham infamous reputation also probably inspired the idiots to attack them Its not a common issue in Europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europa League has definitely been a more competitive competition than the CL, but it has the same problem of the Championship compared to the PL.

Don't fully understand the weird obsession with discrediting Man City getting to the CL final, but Roma is not a bigger achievement at all, surely? They're a huge side in the Europa League setup and have sort of scraped their way to the final. Lost away to Ludogorets and at home to Real Betis coming 2nd in what looks like a pretty weak group (Betis top, HJK of Finland the other side in the group), edged RB Salzburg in the knockout round (losing away, winning at home), fair enough they beat Real Sociedad pretty comfortably, extra time to get past Feyenoord and then a Mourinho defensive masterclass to edge Leverkusen. Whereas Man City top a group containing Dortmund and Sevilla (EL finalists, beaten Man Utd and Juve en route to the final), then hammer all of Leipzig, Bayern and Real Madrid to reach the final. I mean, sure, Man City have far greater resources than most clubs in the World, but that's a tough run in European competition standards and they've made it look easy as anything.

I understand disliking them, I understand wanting them banned from football for eternity etc. but to say that it's somehow just easy to win everything is just wrong. They've made 2 European giants (who have previously also cheated the system, do we want them banned too?) to look very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 If City win the CL it would be great if the media really push the cheating thing. Like Max Verstappen in the first Championship win. Every time they try and revel in it they should be reminded of the 115 charges for financial cheating so they can’t fully enjoy it. Wont happen of course. It’ll go the other way, they’ll be told how amazing they are for the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not discredited - just said they've been financially doped; which, of course, Man City have as well. Wrexham setting a National League record of 111 points is still impressive, despite their advantage. Man City hammering Bayern and Real is still impressive, despite their advantage. Edit: Although I've probably said that Wrexham should coast the league, which they should! Edited May 19, 2023 by bobzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City are on a level of Marseille 93 From memory (it was a while back), they had dodgy sponsorship dealings and payments very much "off the record". There was something about central revenue pots which this circumnavigated - can't remember exactly what happened other than German clubs hating Bayern.
