UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [12th - 14th December 2023]

Because you have to be realistic. We got in too early in the rebuild, we barely have the depth for English only comps.

Something always had to give. We couldnt spend enough.

Arsenal haven't been in a title race for years, we didn't win it last year but id rather we were fighting for it every year than not.....

Im surprised the newcastle fans rather be out of europe than europa, way prem is i can see newcastle not getting into europe again this season
It's genuinely bonkers. They'd have probably been 2nd favourites for it and it wouldn't just represent a chance to win a trophy, something they've not done in generations but it was another route back into the CL. It was potentially 2 routes back into the CL in fact as both Man Utd and Newcastle being knocked out of Europe altogether massively hits the PL's chances of getting an extra CL spot next season.

Liverpool or villa will win Europa
 
how many years has it been since you been in europe? and now you'd rather be out of it

We have a better chance of silverware this year in the League Cup, and a better chance of getting back into Europe next season by qualifying through the Premier League. The team is on its knees, we need more depth in the squad. Finishing 4th last season we were well ahead of schedule.

It's moot now anyway, we don't have a choice even if we had wanted Europa.
 
Yes but you already have the squad depth for that battle.

We don’t and run a larger risk of no qualification this season for anything.

We can now focus on the PL.
It's chicken and egg though Monty. Without Europe you don't have the revenue to have the squad capable. It's never better to be out of Europe. It's hard in the early years but unless you're in it regularly, it'll always be hard.

putting your eggs and hope in one basket

where you could have been in europa enjoy some more euro nights football at st james and had double the chances of european football next season

personally just think newcastle fans are saving face because you blew it

What happens if Liverpool or Villa win and both finish in the champions league?

you dont have a better chance of qualifying through the prem league though, newcastle wont get top 4
 
Super proud. Never thought I’d see the champion league again. 20 odd years and we smashed PSG and went out swinging and just came up short.

HWTL
you didnt just come up short though

you won one out of 6, you cant expect to go through skin of your teeth when you dont win your games and trying to rely on others

Group of Death and look at the points….

Any of the teams apart from zee Germans could have gone out or go through.

That’s coming up short
 
If anyone missed the game here’s a gif of the highlights:

its not coming up short you was edging your bets on another matches result, you were basically betting on it not going the way it did (Call it the Tonali effect)
