We have lost so goddamn many EL/UEFA Cup ties we should have won over the years, that's a ridiculous thing to say.Every singel one would have won the competition last season under the same circumstances.

Nope It isn't, im talking about the exact circumstances of last years Europa league. No champions league teams the groups and draws. Context is everything. But by all means keep fellating the fat fraud with the other true belivers.We have lost so goddamn many EL/UEFA Cup ties we should have won over the years, that's a ridiculous thing to say.
Mate, with everything on the line in a prior trophy-or-nothing campaign, no less than Jose Mourinho blew a 2-0 lead in the second half of the second leg against Dinamo Zagreb, whose manager was in jail.Nope It isn't, im talking about the exact circumstances of last years Europa league.

Conte and Mourinho had us knocked out of cups against teams like Colchester, Norwich and Everton, and you think they would have walked the Europa. Definitely not a given.Nope It isn't, im talking about the exact circumstances of last years Europa league. No champions league teams the groups and draws. Context is everything.

Im only referencing the EXACT circumstances under which we won. That United in that draw, Bodo. It was like we hand picked it. Making out that win has any wider context to previous failings is ridiculous. It felt sweet but denying the amount that went our way is totally couterfactual. Id back all of those coaches under those circumstances even Sherwood.

We fluffed clear paths to trophy glory over and over again during our drought.
Being a great football team on our day hasn't been our problem. Holding our nerve has been, and we finally did it.
You'll appreciate it in due time, when the porridge-brained Ange culture war has washed away.

So by this argument any of us could have been the manager and we would have won too?Im only referencing the EXACT circumstances under which we won. That United in that draw, Bodo.

We lost against Mura and Vitesse with Conte in the damn Conference league. With Mourinho we lost to a Croatian team whose manager was in jail!

He was bossing the Belgian league at 17 and is physically ready for the game anywhere.Don't think he's good enough at the moment to get substantial playing time even there, let alone make an impact here.
You're saying that whilst having absolutely no idea who the HSV CBs he would be up against areDon't think he's good enough at the moment to get substantial playing time even there, let alone make an impact here.

good point, my apologiesNone of this has anything to do whatsoever with our Croatian Wonderboy.
Take it to the Ange thread and post the arguments for the 800,000th time in there please.
This narrativ is so moronicEvery singel one would have won the competition last season under the same circumstances. The Demateo factor doesn't make you a good coach. Ange was very lucky and Im delighted with that luck.

Hamburg’s long road back to the Bundesliga
It's not been easy, but three-time Bundesliga winners Hamburg are back in Germany's top flight after seven seasons in Bundesliga 2.www.bundesliga.com


Much better for him to get a full season there than only the occasional game with us. I so believe in this kid, but for some reason we don’t yet. I think this is likely due to Romero not being sold yet- seems he was primed to move into our 4th choice CB slot.I take it back, he's going to be their most valuable player if transfermarkt is to be believed. By a clear margin too.
I forgot that this'll be Hamburg's first appearance in Bundesliga since 2018. It'll be a rough season for them by the looks of it.
