The Football.....

[SpokeyDokey]

Europa Conferance League was added so that a greater number of teams could participate in the glory and money-go-round of European football.

Apart from the teams that qualify from the 'big' European leagues the competition is filled with some very mediocre sides.

Maybe you should check before posting some spurious non fact since you would find - if you looked - they didn't.

Come on now - let's have a big smiley from you recognising that the fact you originally posted (correct or incorrect) was a bit of totally uneeded and desperate trivia.

We all know that Liverpool are having a really good season and recognise that Klopp has built an excellent team. Maybe not quite as good as Pep/City but excellent nonetheless.

Let's leave it at that.

That was quite a season which ended well for us on a very wet night in Doncaster. As I recall we drew at your place and won at Ewood. I spent many Saturdays looking for your results as it was toe to toe for a long time from what I remember. Hope you beat the pie eaters, we're not keen on them.

It certainly was. The 3 of us were streets ahead of the rest of the league and our points total would have been enough for automatic promotion in 90% of League one seasons. But, Wembley is not for us, 5 appearances 5 defeats 🤦‍♂️

Christ alive - how did we not bury a woeful United.

Disappointing.

FFS - best team by a country mile but all Sky punditry is about United.

Typical Northern bias.

It's the old press thing. Dog bites man is not a story. The story is man bites dog.

Just back from the London Stadium.
Even though Bowen nearly equalised at the end with a brilliant overhead kick that hit the bar I thought overall we were poor.
We were too slow in the build up against a very well organised Frankfurt team who were quick on the counter attack.
We’re going to have to play a lot better if we’re going to turn it around in the second leg.

What do you reckon @Slick ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61180291

I don't think they'll be as optimistic as Rangers.🤔

It's Cr. Ronaldo. He does the job he's supposed to do. The rest of the team have not the faintest idea what their roles are.

Rangnick is not a football manager. I don't what he is. Ragnarok, maybe.

Accrington Stanley are 1 of about 3 or 4 league and former league clubs who've never played there, or haven't had to do as we won the league/division and didn't need the play offs, as I prefer to see it. No big loss I'd say as I've been twice to see Blackburn Rovers play there and win both games, but I found the place/experience none too nice. Would I go to see Accy if they ever make it? Probably not as even though our fans are well known in the lower leagues for making a fair noise, it'd be like a pea on a drum as they say.

Completely agree on all of that

Very pleased to get that point yesterday, but the sooner this season is over for United the better. Its been grim watching mostly, ten Hag's got to get some confidence going again and quick.
I guess Rangnicks £8million isn't too bad when you look at Benitez' payout? Who am I kidding, grrrrr

It will happen at some point. I'm a firm believer that every club gets a moment in the sun and if you look back over the decades it does happen.
