It literally isn't.
We did get to a domestic cup semi final.Atalanta won it last year...also finished 4th in Serie A and made the final of the Coppa Italia. The team they beat, Bayer Leverkusen, won the Bundesliga undefeated and German Cup. Villarreal finished 7th in La Liga the year they won it, Sevilla 4th the year before that, Chelsea 3rd in the PL in 2019, Atletico second in 2018...
I think the idea that the league was 'sacrificed' would be a poor excuse for just plain old crap league form and tactics. There's no evidence to support any intent. Only factor, really, has been injuries. Outside of that it's just naivety from Ange, and being consistent enough in game plan to be figured out on a weekly basis.Maybe, just maybe cause their managers & players didn't openly sacrifice the league to win the EL (and save their rep).
Timo hasn't been thrown under the bus - he's been sleeping under it all season. Really like the guy - he comes across so nice - and wanted to keep him this season, but he's looked worse than Njie and Nkoudou ever did (which is a low).
I knew I'd regret taking you off ignore.Rodgers bottled the Scotts Cup Final today.
Alfie Dorrington’s Aberdeen the winners
Easy to win the treble in Scotland though. Rodgers is a much better tactician than Ange

Rodgers won the treble in back to back seasons, this would have been the third time he'd achieved it in his career which makes it sound not so fucking hard after all doesn't it?
Maybe research things before you post. Might make you look less silly.
Yea, that the FA cup has enough prestige in itself so you don't have to sweeten it with a CL spot for it to be taken seriously.the fact you get into europa off the back of winning the FA cup tells you what order the trophies are in, in terms of prestige.
theres a reason they don't dish out CL spots to domestic cup winners....Yea, that the FA cup has enough prestige in itself so you don't have to sweeten it with a CL spot for it to be taken seriously.

Why would I realise that? It was no different to 95% of your posts.

95% of the posts directed at you are piss takes that’s 100% true, yes
They're the exact same posts you direct at basically anyone else mate, I'm not special.
you have to win the FA cup to even qualify for the europa loool. its a nonsense debate. even when the FA cup actually had prestige 20 years ago and the big teams took it seriously, it still wasnt a better trophy to win than the eufa cup.No it doesn't ... it tells you the premier league aren't going to be gifted another CL spot by the powers that be, and don't want to take away a spot from the league when the reality is that teams already in the CL usually win the FA cup anyway because teams like Liverpool and City are in the running for it.
Mate, they made CL a prize of the EL BECAUSE it lacked prestige and UEFA wanted to incentivise the competition more. This is like saying because conference league gives Europa it is bigger than the league cup, despite the fact the conference league is fucking pointless and so shit West Ham can be "european champions".

european leagues domestic cup winners literally get qualification to the europa league from winning their domestic cups loool its a no contest.
The big teams don't even get in to the europa league to see if they'll take it seriously, because they're all in the champions league.
When they do end up in it, it's mostly a "why the fuck are we here" from the fans and half arsed performances unless they're having another crap season and need to qualify for champions league.
You can literally get europa league qualification in the prem now from finishing what, 7th is it? Or lower? I can't even work it out anymore, we'll probably have Nottingham Forest in it next season and I wouldn't be fucking surprised if they win it, they'd be one of the top 5 favourites.
