Fans of team who have drawn at home with Burnley, Hull, Stoke, West Brom, West Ham and even Arsenal very confident of dispatching team who have beaten Real Madrid and Barcelona this seasonOriginally Posted by 71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat
Drawn vs Celta Vigo, who, as far as I can see aren't even in the Portuguese Premiership this season
I recall earlier in the season as people laughed at Spurs being put to the sword by little Monaco.
How easy and indeed arrogant it is to dismiss such sides.
Not me - I recall saying that Monaco were exceedingly good and a much better team than when they beat us
Welcome back Jorge!
If Man Utd do the League Cup & Europa League Double and finish fifth, will they be judged to have had a good season?
I would say yes - with the Europa league Champions League spot they negated the need to finish fourth and the league was gone a long time back thanks to Chelsea's run which they could do little about. Others might disagree
I would concur.
2 x trophy success plus a CL qualification for the following season, all in the first season for a new manager.
Cannot surely be anything other than a success.
Would losing the final would be a failure IYO?
Yes. They *have* to end up in the Champions League.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Probably yes, I think CL qualification is the yardstick by which success is measured these days.
You and I may not agree but such is life.
RIP football.
