View attachment 19785


in 24/25 Atlanta finished reached the knock out phase of the Champions League
in 23/24 Sevilla finished 14th in the spanish league and missed out on Champions League
in 22/23 Frankfurt finished 3rd in the french league and reached the group stage in Champions league
in 21/22 Villareal finished 5th in la liga and missed out on Champions League

Great we won a European Cup but Champions League is whole other level.

A gooner was saying to on Saturday it's a lesser trop because there's no CL drop outs.
They got knocked out by a CL drop out.
Who were those drops outs?
Not bayern Munich, not real Madrid, not Barcelona, not even sevilla, or dortmund, no it was olympiacos, that's right the mighty olympifudgingacos.
Yes the CL has the best teams in Europe in it, it has the elite, but that's at best 6 or 8 teams out of 36.
There's some teams around our level, but there's a hell of a lot of also tans.

Absolutely spot on.
 
I can't believe the discussion now has become one of people playing down the value of the win. I expect that of opposition fans but are we really going to question the achievement when literally all we ever complained about was Enic and the lack of trophies?

Jeeze.

Context time.

Well over 400 teams have participated in the Europa league in the last 20 years.

14 teams have won it. In 20 years.

It's hard to win a cup.

We need our fan base to get behind the win. Not second guess it's value. Not challenge whether it's worth anything. It is. Ferguson won an FA cup to spring board Utd to 20 years of success. Mourinho focused on winning the league cup to get his Chelsea team going, twice. Ask Eddie Howe if the league cup was not worth anything to his team? Is anyone belittling Toon's achievement ?

Even if you're so glass half empty you can't enjoy and admire our winning this trophy, at least recognise that used right it can be a catalyst to a period of sustained success.

Context works both ways mate, you can't just reel off what makes it a great achievement to you whilst taking aim at people for providing context as to why they think it isn't as great as you think it is.

It's a cup competition, in of itself it's a fantastic achievement - we qualified for it and then we beat those who needed beating in order to win it, we got the trophy and that's all that matters within the context of winning a trophy - we done what was needed to win it - i had 4 fantastic away trips on this run, Istanbul, Glasgow, Bodø & Bilbao, along with every home fixture - great stuff, loved every minute of it.

If you listen to Arteta talk, they must be a CL drop out too.

Indeed, the same so called Spurs fans questioning the value of this trophy are the same ones that have been bitching for the past 13 years that they just want us to fecking win something.The same people who have been complaining that top 4 is not a trophy.

Heck, if we had lost they would be whinging, we win it and they are still fecking complaining. It is as if some people just have to suck the joy out of everything.

They'll be the first to fudging complain when the next manager loses a couple of games too. It's always the same people. Nothing is ever good enough for them, and they want to drag the rest of us down to their miserable existence with them.
 
If you look at how many of those clubs we in the Europa League this season, and they have qualified for the Champions League, then that tells you about the quality of the competition we just one.
 
Just thought I'd see who the 2023/24 CL dropouts were:

- Galatasaray
- Lens
- Braga
- Benfica
- Feyenoord
- AC Milan
- Young Boys
- Shaktar Donetsk

And 2022/23:

- Ajax
- Bayer Leverkusen
- Barcelona
- Sporting Lisboa
- RB Salzburg
- Shaktar Donetsk
- Sevilla
- Juventus

Would've definitely made for a tougher competition, especially in 2022/23.
