Lose 20 games and can still get to the final of this thing. Says more about the UEFA Cup than anything. This is what the Conference League was when West Ham won it. Same standard.
UEFA will be absolutely destroyed in the European media over the summer and rightly so. There's no way this will ever be allowed to have a Champions League place attached to it again. Six English places and one for this will cause a fucking meltdown in Italy, Germany and Spain.

Sorry utter bllx it's regretful but it's also laughable how serious they are taking it. It's an Audi cup. Utter gash standard. No one but them care.

By all means bash our club but not with this.

Agendas coming out here.

Fucking *word censored* it.

Turned that off as soon as the whistle went. Couldn't bear to watch any fucking celebration. Game was an absolute pile of crap, but those fuckers get a trophy AND qualification for the CL. They're desperate for money and that's given them a massive boost.

They won't give a single fuck about their PL position.

What hurts most is that is exactly the way Arsenal used to win finals. If we had won the final defending that way we would have said "that's the Arsenal we know". But they were wearing white and while we are a far better football team I don't think we could have done that since the Graham era. Actually, there was one exception - the Cardiff FA Cup Final v United when we hung on in there and Paddy won it on pens.

The finances are the only thing buts it's actually not that bad as they haven't made up the cash they would have by a top 8 finish which we would all expect them to, rather they lost if course but in grand scheme after such a bad league season it makes little difference

As others, I care less about the fact they get their hands on a second rate trophy than they get a spot in the CL after finishing 16th on 39 points. Villa and Forest ought to feel sick about that.

Yes, fair enough but at the end of the day they won it.

Arteta has had 20 attempts at winning a trophy in the last 5 years and not won anything.
