Drawn vs Celta Vigo, who, as far as I can see aren't even in the Portuguese Premiership this season :-(

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 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.

If Man Utd do the League Cup & Europa League Double and finish fifth, will they be judged to have had a good season?

Not me - I recall saying that Monaco were exceedingly good and a much better team than when they beat us

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.

and Europa league winners get a CL spot now?

Good point. That prize does raise the value of that competition. Maybe we should take it seriously after all. I can't wait to play Dynamo Tractorworks in the group stages :cloud9:

Would losing the final would be a failure IYO?

[redgunamo]

Yes. They *have* to end up in the Champions League.

[SWv2]

Would losing the final would be a failure IYO?

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.

Like a trophy, then.

It's our trophy I want it back!
