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.
They really won’t I’m afraid.

Of course they won't. I said yesterday on here, they all had sides in the competition, many of whom finished well up in their respective leagues and if they weren't good enough to beat the crap we watched tonight, then how can they complain?

Scum would have won something eventually by law of averages.

Better it's some mickey mouse competition with the dross of Europe in than anything meaningful that actually had good teams who took it seriously in. And we won't have to here the narrative it's all they need to kick on now, as they will be shite next season so that will be that narrative down the drain as well

If the league can rid itself of the skid mark 3 phenomenon then united could go down next season.

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.
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.
And someone won the ldv and the fa trophy...arteta needs to go but to bash him because scum won some 2 bob trophy that was harder to lose is not a valid stick I'm afraid!

I expected better if some of you!

It's actually funny as it's so devalued yet here they and some of us are getting all het up. My spurs mates hate the fact I have been given it that to them. They said the same to west ham mates. Who remembers west ham winning the other 2 bin one...no one.

I do genuinely think the teams getting promoted are a bit better than those getting promoted in recent seasons.

They were absolutely dreadful. What the fuck was Amorim doing with that starting line up? Dalot has been their best player this season in my opinion and doesn't start. He also didn't start Garnacho, who at least caused a few problems when he came on.

Like Falky, I feel fucking sick.

If we hadn’t been in the Europa league recently then I would agree with you.
The point is we had several seasons in the competition and failed to win it.

Can anyone get us entry to the Papa Johns or Conference League so we can get this monkey off our backs? Some bedwetters are asking for us to win a tinfoil trophy so we can say we are “winners”.

Do you know why this is such a shit fest competition? I’ll tell you why. 1 million per cent fat Ange gets the sack this summer. That’s why.

Rob, the Europa when cl teams dropped down into it so completely different...

This is like pulling the big fat ugly bird in a club and boasting about it afterwards as any holes a goal.

Utter nonsense from ugly blokes who have to sink to such depth to get there dicks wet.

Just repeat that to any scum fans will properly annoy them as they know it's true.

Beat Bodø Glint and the worst united team since they were relegated to win this.

17th and in next season’s champions league. Shambolic shit.

This all stems from the European super league. To try to stem that UEFA bloated the champions league with more clubs and then extended it even further by providing a safety net in this shite competition for anyone who managed to find themselves outside the top 36 clubs in Europe.

Joke.

Whilst I don’t want to defend the scum there were still some top sides in it.
3rd in the bundesliga
4th in La liga
5th and 6th in serie A
