As it stands united are one place above relegation, and could sill be in the CL next season,  don't ever tell me these next tiers of Europe are not meaningless

Two, but i get what your saying!

Plenty of other seasons Tottenham and United would be well and truly in line for relegation.
 
Just a shame bottom 3 been so poor.

Did we go down with 41 the Chelsea last game year?

Doesn't say much for the quality of competition in that tin-pot European training exercise neither.

The Europa and Conference League carry about as much weight as the charity shield,

Yep.

Conference league was the name for the best of the non-league at one time.

Has the same sort of resonance.

I get what you are saying in a way.

You could almost do with omitting the “big clubs” based on previous success criteria, turnover, money spent etc (not that I could ever see that happening for all kinds of reasons). Get rid of this idea of rewarding failure.

But I’m not having it that this shouldn’t be some kind of incentive for clubs such as us, Brighton’s, Bournemouths etc.

It was absolutely fantastic. It was an achievement getting there, no fears of rewarding failure whatsoever 

To take that away would be very sad and prevent clubs such as ours having those fantastic experiences.

Achievement finishing 7th?

Yes for a club like Bolton????!!

What were you expecting that season?

Were you there first time qualifying at Portsmouth? 

Try telling the thousands of whites there that wasn’t an achievement! 🤣

I was, it was a fantastic piss up. Not an achievement

Right ok 🤣👍

[Tonge moor green jacket]

European adventure may have been magnificent for us, and others finishing in those places, but without the champion's league, we wouldn't have qualified. 

Top place for European Cup. Leave it at that.

 

[desperado]

Let’s scrap the play offs while we’re at it.

Rewarding 6th place failures, whatever next. 🤣

It's only an achievement because the competition exists.

Finishing as high was we did then was a plentiful achievement in itself.

No argument there.

Always been somewhat controversial. 

Yes it keeps the leagues alive for more teams, but should the best 3 (or 4) teams over the season just go up.

This is the system used for European competition qualification too. Unless you win one/domestic cup.

TAA getting plenty of boos when coming onto the pitch. 

Fans now singing "...one Connor Bradley..."

 

[tomski]

Classy LFC. Never walk alone till you sign for Real Madrid😂

Bunch of fannies

Seen Oshimen is being lined up by Juve and he's up for it

Shame that if he goes there, would like to see him in the PL

Beating Atheltico Madrid, Red Star Belgrade and drawing with Bayern Munich all away isn't an achievement?

Why don't we just fuck the whole of football off and just let the top 4 play eachother every week.

Don’t get the TAA thing, so odd. Many weren’t booing though.

25 injured & one could be dead after Hamburg fans stormed the pitch today. Matter of time before something like this happened & could easily have been worse. Fair play to Liverpool fans, seem to be only ones resisting the new obsession. 
 

This has to be the final straw surely.

Nah, fine most of the time 

And certainly not a new obsession

I do recall when trying to get on the pitch after we beat PNE to got promoted in 93

Was a 15 year old on the burnden terrace and everyone made for the small gates 

As I got to them was literally swept off my feet in the crush and carried along through to the other side unable to move my arms 

Scary but fun

Liverpool finished 30 points behind Arsenal in 2004 and 37 points behind Chelsea in 2005, yet won the Champions League in 2005.The new format of the European Cup means undeserving clubs sometimes get lucky.

First time we qualified for Uefa cup, we finished 6th, level on points with.... Liverpool. 

Having grown up watching them win the league year after year, I saw that as quite an achievement. 

I certainly seen where @LH white is coming from, "Champions League" name is embarrassing 😄.

But that's the highest I've seen us finish and nobody is telling me that's not an achievement for a club like ours.

And we don't make the rules 🤷‍♂️.

I've still got some grass from Burnden Park after the Fulham game in 78.

Clearing stuff out prior to moving, so sadly it will have to go soon.

I was on the pitch after we beat Sheff Wed in 1983 to avoid relegation (even though it wasn't definite at that point with other teams still with games to play). 

Same after beating Wigan in Freight Rover semi in 86.

Great memories but at that age you don't think of any dangers (hundreds if not thousands scaling those spiked fences!).
