They shouldn’t even be in it

Liverpool and Leverkusen absolutely do deserve to be in the Europa League this season

You think the aforementioned teams are better? No chance.

But that’s not how it works.

And there’s wonderment that a lot of people think Liverpool supporters are planks. It’s comments like this!

Obviously, but for the sake of other teams in the Europa league, Liverpool and Leverkusen shouldn’t be in it. They’ll walk it.

I know it's not the reason either is in the competition, but I do think the scrapping of third-placed CL group-stage teams dropping down will be a good thing.

I love the Europa League and Conference League, regardless of whether West Ham are in either, both feel like a bit of a throwback to a more innocent time. It's great getting drawn against teams you know very little about or former giants that modern football has passed by, like Steau Bucharest last season for us.

Not a Liverpool supporter, thanks.

Agreed. Thankfully Man Utd were so bad this year that we were all saved a last 16 defeat to (random team).

You do a good impression of one.

Forest docked four points.

High chance it could end up with one very contentious point separating 17 and 18.

Wonder why it wasn't six. Feels very much like they are making it up as they go along.

Burnley play Forest last match of the season which could be interesting.

Although the result of the appeal will be announced the week after the season finishes so plenty of chance to finesse it.

Does make being fucked over by VAR against both Forest and Luton a bit more annoying.

Would have helped if we hadn't thrown away four points against Luton this season.

This.

Begs the obvious question, how they’ll deal with City and their inevitable appeal.

It'll be n-1 where n is the number of points that City will have won the league by.

Where's the Everton second lot? I'd have expected them to be announced together.

Feels very much like they are making it up as they go along.

Why wasn’t it ten? That’s what we were docked for losing less money than Forest.

Because they're making it up as they go along.

In our case they started with 3 points for a breach, 3 points for the amount of breach then deducted 2 points for mitigation and cooperation.

The Harry Kane statue is even better than we could have hoped.

Amazed that Ronaldo sculptor got another gig, tbh.

Why is it made of chocolate?

£12k budget didn't cover bronze so that was the next best material. It looks like his chin has already begun to melt.

lol

Heehee

Easter gets earlier each year it seems

Tbf they got the blank stare down to a tee.
