Premier League 2016-2017

[nevernotspurs]

Lol I agree with that. Still though, 3 trophies is pretty good. Even if I do consider 2 of them mickey mouse trophies. I do think Europa League is quite big though because it's their first time ever getting it. Would have liked to see them beat better teams to get it though. Their lead up to the final were all garbage teams and a lot of them pushed United.

I can be realistic, I know that they're a good distance away from winning the league and competing in champions league. Their level needs to rise significantly, and parking the bus doesn't really work vs those better teams.

It's not about agreeing with what I predicted - it's what has actually happened lol.

You stating that winning Europa League is big - is a perfect example of being influenced by united + media manufactured narrative as per what I said previously. I previously said there was clearly a manufactured narrative by the media and united to make the 'top 6' relevant and the Europa League relevant just because United are in it - they are shit, Jose's comments towards giving up on league and basically using 2nd team in like half a dozen games.

Speaking in 2013, Mourinho, who had just succeed Benitez as Blues boss, told the BBC: “I don’t want to win the Europa League. It would be a big disappointment for me.

I still don't think he's content with winning just the Europa league, but given how the cards fell this year it was about the best they could have done. And again, it was the last trophy to add to the cabinet, so it does hold some importance.

And like I stated before, you avoid the qualification stages of UCL with the Europa League victory, so it's just as valuable as the top 4 if not more so, given it is a major european trophy. Give me that in a second over Liverpool + City's season. And probably even Tottenham tbh. No real prestige in finishing 2nd, that's just first loser. And the race for first place was never all that close.

Edit: Also I'm pretty sure when Mou said that the Europa League did NOT give Champions League positions.

@I Bleed Duke Blue we need to sign a few world class players or it's top 4.
