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.
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.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
Yes but you already have the squad depth for that battle.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.....
Treble still on lads!!!!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.
Liverpool or villa will win EuropaIt's genuinely bonkers.

how many years has it been since you been in europe? and now you'd rather be out of it
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.Yes but you already have the squad depth for that battle.

putting your eggs and hope in one basketYes but you already have the squad depth for that battle.

I'll give you any odds you want that Villa won't win it!Liverpool or villa will win Europa
What happens if Liverpool or Villa win and both finish in the champions league?It's genuinely bonkers.

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.
Nothing. It's only if Liverpool (West Ham or Brighton) win it and don't finish in the top 4 (or maybe 5) that they get a CL spot.What happens if Liverpool or Villa win and both finish in the champions league?
Asking for a mate
So where does the extra spot go to?Nothing. It's only if Liverpool (West Ham or Brighton) win it and don't finish in the top 4 (or maybe 5) that they get a CL spot.
you didnt just come up short thoughSuper 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
One fewer qualification round for a lower ranking League winner/runner-up.So where does the extra spot go to?
Group of Death and look at the points….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
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)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
