I know we Manchester United fans are big with European competitions especially in the finals, however I don't consider Tottenham Hotspur worthy enough to challenge Manchester for a big European finals like the one approaching but what's said above in that image by the manager scares the shiit out of me.
When people talk about Hotspur or United, they should also consider that they talk about nr 15 and 16 in the standings in Premier Legue, and a team that beat like who? Lyon? 7th in the Ligue! Real Sociedad? 11th in La Liga!
I mean, seriously, look at who they are playing against
Neither of them is champion material by any means.
Completely agree.
The irony is that some of these bums will get into the Champions League along with the clubs that earned their ticket in the fight in the Premier League. If in previous seasons this made some sense, then in the new format it looks extremely dubious - the level of the competition is too low to be rewarded so generously. Plus, now literally a third of the Premier League will be in the Champions League - 6 teams according to the scheme: 4 seeded + 1 bonus ticket for the UEFA rating + bonus for winning the EL.
