Do you only get enjoyment out of trophy winning games, are all the rest completely pointless to you?
Of course not. Was a tongue in cheek response to a quite strange question.

More pertinent would be, would I rather go through last season again or an entire season like Franks first several games? Last season every time. There was always hope we’d do something big. This season has just been hopeless dirge.
 
He didn't throw the league.

He was shit ever since we lost to Chelsea ending that unbeaten run.

Lucked out on the cup.

Another one!! What’s wrong with you lot.

100% he put the Europa league ahead of the league. Look at the teams we were putting out towards the end of the season.

Seriously where is your problem with the truth and facts?

Poch made the opposite call. Often putting out his best 11 in the league and sacrificing Europe. As he was competing at the top of the league, something Ange didn’t have to worry about.
 
If you had to rewatch the 2 seasons of Ange or the 2 seasons of peak Poch, which would you prefer?

What on earth has that got to do with success.

It’s like asking would you rather rewatch the Brazil team in 82 or the Greek team of whatever year they won the euros.

It has absolutely fuck all to do with the concept of being a trophy winning team?

What is your problem with our club being successful last season?? I don’t get it.
 
Give me Ajax over that shit 2nd rate final last year any day.

You'd take a semi final win over ten hags ajax that ultimately meant fuck all, over our third uefa trophy to add to the cabinet, putting us joint 3rd all time with Liverpool, Juventus and Madrid...and all the glory that followed on the night and days after.
Sonny finally getting his winner medal , the no cup monkey off our back??

That’s a very disingenuous way to describe what actually happened.

The Ajax win got us to the biggest match this club has ever had in my lifetime. So how did that ultimately mean fuck all?

I really don’t care about joint 3rd all time UEFA trophy. Your equating a CL trophy to a Europa trophy and it’s clearly not.

We won a Europa trophy last season because the top 30ish teams in Europe were too good to qualify for the competition we were in. It was a nice accomplishment but nowhere near a peak moment for this club.

Sonny finally getting a deserved medal and getting the no trophy monkey off our backs were certainly positives though.

Some of you think everything is about trophy or no trophy and can’t bring any context into it. It’s such a simple way to think. Then I challenge by saying “if we win the conference league, would it be bigger than a CL final” and no one ever answers because it’s absolutely ridiculous to think so.

Excellent post, think some might be better off just writing down the dates of the FA/League/European cup finals every year and just checking if we're in those rather than going to the effort of watching every game if that's the only basis for success.

The bolded bit could also be described as disingenuous. The comparison isn’t CL trophy v Europa trophy. It’s Europa trophy v no trophy.

The Ajax match was thrilling and euphoric. As was the Man City tie. But it led to a pit of despair in the end.

The Europa run was mediocrity at its best, but led to euphoria.

Not sure why we have to rate one above the other. Can’t we just have nice things?

Cults die hard lads. That's all it is. All these circtous routes they take to hail the leader. Lol just giggle.

Sure, people can think either way.

I didn’t mean to go down this rabbit hole again but the original reply to me was poor.

Ok.
Well I'd prefer winning a Europa trophy and the joy that followed rather than winning a semi final
