This conversation is frankly ridiculous, and boring now. Palace beat 2 better sides in City and Villa than we had to face throughout the whole EL, you can talk about 12 extra games but look at the standard of half those sides, Bodo x2, Rangers, Qarabag, Ferencvaros, AZ Alkmaar x3, Elfsborg, if you're telling me the side with the 9th highest revenue in the world shouldn't be well equipped to batter those sides with a 2nd string side and stay competitive in the league on the weekend you're fucking dreaming, Villa manage it with half our resources, Glasner's won the same cup as Ange at a team with 1/5th the resources, and didn't tank the league to do so. He told us all he was chuffed with his summer window, he's headhunted half the players, it was his responsibility to balance the competitions and he failed to do so. I don't know how people aren't angry that he's saying we've been going through the motions in the league since january considering the only actual stiff opposition we came up against in the EL through to the final was Frankfurt, and we beat them with fucking Conteball.
