Always has been Walt as you know. I never get bothered about this comp unless we reach quarter final stages. Happy to go out early and concentrate on league form.

Depending on your league form Europa League could be your best avenue back into the Champions League.

Absolutely Adam but not expecting much regardless, still in transition and long way to go.

Ditch it and play kids keep everything for the league . Will be interesting to see how he approaches this.

I’d be more than happy with that, with so many matches it is a hindrance to the league.

Arsenal getting battered. PSV all over them.

Think you lot should wish United well on winning this if you finish 5th.  and us outside the top 4. 

Some good teams left in it, eh keith?
I think a juventus v Man Utd final would be good for the neutral.

Don’t think that far ahead mate. See what the draw is like first. Would still take top 4 than a place in Europa Cup final..

Iv always preferred winning cups than finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th.
Feyenoord look good. Arsenal and Sevilla…. Some decent teams left

That’s one of the reasons I’d take top 4 now. As you rightly say some good teams left.

Silverware is what makes teams great!

Arsenal used to finish top 4 every year but would win nothing. Inspired no one.

True…. But 6 years without a trophy is something you needed to fix.
How many years without top 4? I couldn’t even tell you.

Winners win!

If anything it increases there chances, one less competition to work on. We all know the Europa league takes plenty out of players.

Quarter final draw.

Man United v Sevilla
Juventus v Sporting
Bayer Leverkusen v Union Saint Gilloise

Juventus or Sporting V Man United or Sevilla
Feyenoord or Roma V Bayer Leverkusen or Union Saint Gilloise.

Sevilla will be tasty. I’d say your slight favourites though

Pulling for Union State Gilliose to continue their amazing run

Certainty play well in this comp compared with their league position. On paper United firm favs for this.

Hopefully we play them in final Adam. 

United vs juventus semi final would be great.
Memories of ‘99

Sevilla still in the draw

It's theirs for the 32nd straight time. 

Not a great game this but I’m excited if we get this far next year.

We have to go for it! A final is a final.

Mourinho with his negative football gets a punch on the nose 😊

There was a post in one of the other threads a few days ago wondering why ex players don't go into refereeing....well there's one reason right there. Outrageous behaviour, no one should have to suffer that...shameful.

https://twitter.com/LfcShaunjudge/status/1664343327255175172?t=jOgobhGZlr5MsPG9Zf4oEQ&s=19

Referees and their gov bodies need to understand how much pressure is on clubs to win these days they seem to be the only people involved who seem quite relaxed about F***ing up and VAR despite all the hype has failed to prevent major mistakes in very important games. Felt very sorry for Taylor and his family that was a nasty incident at the airport ,the game he referee'd was also nasty which to be fair the EPL doesnt normally produce.
I would to like see a review of the mistakes made when VAR could have intervened .
There is no reason why we shouldnt make this our second target after the EPL next season bring home number 4.

After reviewing this footage UEFA needs to impose a hard hitting penalty on Mourinho, and, or his club. It's not the ref's fault two of their players missed their eff'ing pens....The authorities need to act, the way it's going an official is going to get killed.

I suspect what you refer to as "major mistakes" are more often just a subjective opinion, an opinion you don't like, or agree with. I'd like to know of an incident of a major mistake that wasn't in fact an interpretation of an action that could go either way.

Mourinho really is an odious little man and the sorest of losers. Utterly despicable behaviour. It's easy to see how this kind of carry on could inspire Roma's ultras to do something silly. The scenes at the airport should also never be repeated, whatever you think of the ref or his decisions. UEFA should have them ferried off via a different route or access point.

what makes you think you can speak for what I think I dont need you to tell me if I am right or wrong thanks . You carry on trying to be cerebral .

can't stand Marueen he is indeed a odious little pr**k. Managers are becoming under more and more scrutiny and more pressure especially at both ends of the league when a dodgy decision can make or break careers. I look at Rugby a game with seemingly endless technical infringements yet decisions are met with good grace and no back chat and with the aid of a Video ref to assist him they seem to get far more things right than in Football.
