I agree Ole was outclassed. And that he isnt good enough for United. But I think tonight is more about players playint badly than a manager doing shite. Man United have a lot of over hyped mediocre players. Guys like Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Fred, Eric Bailly, Fred, Dan James etc.. are bang average players who get massively over hyped because they play for Man Utd. This is exacerbated by the number of ex Man Utd players with pundit jobs These players aren't great but a first team squad doesn't need to be a World XI to win titles - they've won in the past with guys like Jones, Smalling and Welbeck in their first team. Man Utd have finished the season with more points than last year, and they'll probably do the same again next season after another £100m+ over the summer. They'll ultimately hit a wall though because shite managers very rarely fluke a league or European title, and they undoubtedly have a shite manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I would think only Mechelen would come close but still comfortably bigger, unless of course you are cheating & have counted the Lipton Trophy as a European Trophy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Would the Intertoto with its 3 winners a year or whatever it was count as a European trophy? If so, there’s surely some in there that are on a par. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided not to include it purely because it had multiple "winners" in some seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only club from a smaller settlement I can see that has ever even been to a European final is Bastia.

Never got near any penalties and the one he hit was terrible. Agreed. He should have hit it like a goal kick. Glad he didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 "A nuanced take" their "take" is incredibly similar to the "but I have black friends" take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Here's one for you Statto are they the team from the smallest place to ever win a European trophyWest Auckland Town FC won the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy (Lipton’s Tea Foundation) in 1909 in Turin, the first organised European football tournament with teams representing Italy, Germany, Switzerland and England. Today’s population of West Auckland stands at a little over 8,500. Given that Lipton a keen sportsman, was from Glasgow it’s puzzling that a Scottish club wasn’t invited to compete? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Thomas_Lipton_Trophy#:~:text=The%20Sir%20Thomas%20Lipton%20Trophy%20was%20an%20association,Championship%2C%20which%20took%20place%20between%201887%20and%201902. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's scraping the barrel a bit. Incredible research though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
