It us the European trophy bit that is confusing them.How can you have a parade for a European Trophy?
Well pretty easily, it’s a massive competition.
That’s madIn 16 years of the Europa League's existence three teams dropping down from the CL ended up winning the EL.
Ruins some narratives doesn't it?In 16 years of the Europa League's existence three teams dropping down from the CL ended up winning the EL.
I.e their own tactics.
...unless it's Chelsea.One more thing: Let’s not turn into Woolwich. We know what it’s like to be the punchline. To have Sky, media, Carragher, Neville et al. all spin the same tired story about us. One bad result and it's the end of the world. One good one and it’s a fluke. That stuff sticks. And it’s poison.
So when we see other clubs struggling, let’s not act like we’re above them. We know how it feels to be on the wrong side of the narrative. It’s brutal. Football goes in cycles. Yesterday it was us. Tomorrow? Who knows.
Be proud. Celebrate. But stay humble. We're not here to become what we hated. Let them talk. We’ll keep winning our way.
COYS.
I absolutely loved that about our performance yesterday. So many niggly fouls. Stopped Bruno finding any rhythm. Ran down the clock too.
or Woolwich, United, City.
Yes. We played them at night.
And West Ham, Leicester, Leeds, Liverpool, and a few others.
