Im not sure if I'd call geteuropa delusional though that title in this thread definitely belongs to Man U fans still.

There's just an unwritten rule here since Man U's fallen off that if your club is big enough to be in the CL, and you're in Europa, you're gunna get burned

I mean get europa himself was going Tony Montana when Arsenal seemed to have their top 4 trophy secure and Men's Wearhouse was in full effect. It's just too funny now how the tables have turned.

Definitely; those fans aren't exempt either. This was the first year I saw Man United fans hyping up Community Shields, FA Cups, and Europa League when they've been trashing those competitions for YEARS. I mean when Man United got embarrassed by Bilbao in the Europa League a few years back, dudes were writing essays about how the competition was worthless, they lost because it wasn't worth the effort, etc., and now they've suddenly realized its value after dropping to 6th and crashing out of every major competition.

I only brought up the Arsenal example because those fans had no shame bringing up "Invincibles" and "We won the league at Old Trafford" in 2016 after getting humiliated by Man United on a yearly basis for the past decade

Everyone always brings up how United and every other big club didn't care about Europa back in the day. This is a fact. But the fact that people leave out is that back in the day, Europa wasn't a way into CL. Ever since then teams have taken Europa a lot more serious. Sure community shields and league cups etc are no where near as prestigious as CL trophy, but you'd be foolish to think even big clubs don't want to win the Europa League if they had an off season or two. A trophy is a trophy, even more so when it automatically opens your chances for the next season.

How long has winning the Europa Cup meant an automatic entry to the CL?

Griezmann is dumb to leave atleti, if zlatan comes back healthy he's taking a back seat to him, and unless mourinho is gonna spend 350 mill this off season the squad will not be deep enough for prem and champions league. They'll get their community shield ( if you want to call that silver ware ) but I can't see a fully stacked out man u winning anything as long as mourinho is the manager.

The promotion here has been pretty bad... nonexistent basically.  I didn't even know they were in town till I saw it on the news.  Not noticed ant TV ads, billboards, etc.  The game is on Friday, but haven't seen any TV ads if they're gonna broadcast it.

transfer rumors will even get more stupid now, than they already have been 

 

 

[heggsy]

Riyad to Monacoooooo I would love that if he were to go anywhere tbf

 

[Trey Bantz]

Man U isn't playing for the Commuity Shield next season...

 

[rolaholic]

Mahrez to Monaco would be a good look...would probably mean Silva is on his way out

Seen Griez liked that Pogba post

Nice to know we have NTers that can confidently predict the future in here

Least make the bantz accurate,not even gonna be in the CS next season,that'll be up for grabs for you guys if you can win this weekend

Mou's 2nd seasons have historically been his strongest,got faith in him winning trophies like he's done elsewhere. There aren't any better managers available at the moment either so that last part is a non starter ,don't know if he'll last the extended period he wants at United but he's the one to right the ship for the near future

He rumors for Greizmann aren't coming from reporters or shady newspapers, all indications and signs are coming from Greizmann himself the past couple days. I think the transfer to United will happen rather quickly, within couple weeks.

Now trey-05 is going to have to return that Greizmann kit he just bought. God damn you trey

 

[larryeastwood]

who will Chelsea face in the community shield next season if they win the FA cup this weekend?

Think it might be the 2nd place finisher in the league when that happens iirc

Reports that AC Milan are the front runners for Morata's signature. It would bd a great signing for them.

Also reports of Madrid having interest in 20 y/o Betis midfielder Dani Ceballos. They're facing competition from Atleti. Ceballos has a buyout clause of just £8.5m.

Clichy departing as well again thank you for your contributions during your time at City. Despite his recent ability over the last year and a half id say he had been a solid contributor to the squad for quite some time
