I reckon we're just not as good as we'd like to think we are, continental or otherwise.
After all, English clubs have done very well in Europe historically; plenty of European Cups.
Those same clubs have won dozens of league titles between them too. Never heard any of them described as particularly "continental" though.
They were just damn good sides.
I'm not sure. The teams above us have all played some great stuff this season.
As have we.
Not sure what ideology has got to do with it.
We go about our business with an ethos, some might say a dogma
The others are just pragmatic, success at all costs focussed juggernauts.
We're happy amateurs, Corinthian gentlemen, in comparison.
In comparison. But everyone has to work with the resources available to them.
Die lehre vom möglichen, as they say. That's what governs any ethos or ideology, imo.
Apart from when you have almost unlimited resources
It makes no difference; money always has a conscience of its own.
I shouldve done it a couple of posts back but I'm calling bollocks on you
Didn't you think we could win this title then?
Right up until it was mathematically impossible, that's the same malady we all suffer from
Malady is right. After all, how can we beat teams with greater financial resources.
Unless that is the whole point of competition :rubchin:
