To the contrary. Everyone else has either been telling us that we should be grateful to Benitez for winning it or telling us it is a meaningless trophy. I particularly enjoyed Tottenham supporters who told us that as they could not even beat Basel in it and are destined to play in it again alongside Swansea and Wigan and very likely Liverpool. It is also amusing that Liverpool will be in it thanks to the Fair Play award and their otherwise suspended striker will be eligible to play in it.
Luckily we will not be joining in the fun next year.
