There was one planned but they walked back on that one.
A mistake in hindsight.

A mistake in hindsight.
Nah he's right imo.
We've lost 20 games in the league so far. It'll likely be 22. A Europa league win does not mask that. It's been a fucking terrible season.
Not sure he'll be able to afford the premiums
Yeah, but everyone looks good against us. We made RVN look competent.
He's not fucking staying.
I will go to fucking all-out war with Baldcunt if he even thinks of it.
This.
A EL trophy and let's say a 10th-12th placed finish in the league is a okay season all things considered.
A EL trophy and finishing 17th should obviously set off massive warning signals.
Agreed, the whole purpose is to out the owners.. getting to the final cannot gloss over the shit
OR it's a sign that the PL are so much better than any other league in the world?
There were som really good teams in the EL.
And of course, teams that have been eliminated from the CL, shouldn't be allowed to get another chance in the EL.
A cup is a cup, if you're out you're out.
The problem is that the CL are to big, too many teams in it, teams that are shit.
But football nowadays are purely business, all about money sadly.
Saw some stats earlier this season over average ticket prices by leagues in Europe.
The PL was #1, with more than double as high average ticket prices as league #2 (who i can't remember right now, probably one of Spain or Italy)
So the PL-clubs could cut their average ticket prices down by half, and still be the most expensive league to watch.
This creates problems. And "shit" teams like us and ManUre can get to a EL-final, because bottom half clubs in the PL, are probably on par with top clubs in let's say Italy, Germany, Spain, and France.
Another problem is a hard time for PL-clubs to "get rid of players". They are on big wages, and too expensive for clubs in other leagues.
So we and ManUre are in the EL-final not because we are both shit, but because the PL are so much better than the other leagues.

The scorelines may look similar but Man U haven't been anywhere near as bad as us today. We're lowering the bar in ways they could only dream of.
Some King Joffrey looking mother fucker coming on now
He can’t even strike a ball like he used to
Yes, as does being finalists and 17th place.
Postecoglou knows it's not acceptable.
Both us and Man Utd are seriously shit 
How shit has the teams in the EL been this season if its us and Man Utd in the final.Man United are losing as well btw, so it’s not just us
A quick look at the league table and the fact we're still under 40 points in the second week of May should answer that one
Mourinho touched on this topic back in his Chelsea days.
This is the premier league. I'm not here to develop players. I'm not here to teach them to be better at football. At this level, they should be the finished product. My job is to get them ready to play, once they are on the pitch, it is their job to play, I can't help.
If players still can't control a ball or read a game, they shouldn't be anywhere near a premier league squad.
They picked a stronger team tbf
The first time that Palace has ever done the league double on us.
And their first win away at us since 1997 apparently.
Ange just keeps breaking records.
And so does Levy. Just a meter of days now.
I'm around.Where'sBilly Bob mate ?
