Quite funny poking my head into the Liverpool thread.
Liverpool fans that pollute this thread are utterly convinced that their brilliant side is the bestest team on Earth and vastly better than Utd. But on their own thread, there is a lot of uncertainty about whether they can get through to the EL by narrowly beating Hoffenheim over 2 legs, i.e. precisely the kind of "crap" team that Utd that had to beat repeatedly to win the Europa cup that Liverpool fans supposedly dont think is worth winning because it is too easy.
Surely CL qualifiers are one rung above EL qualifiers? Liverpool fans that pollute this thread are utterly convinced that their brilliant side is the bestest team on Earth and vastly better than Utd.

ORD is comparing a single CL qualifying game against the type of teams we had to beat to WIN (not qualify) the EL.
So I don't see your point.

No, you wouldn't. I will spell it out for you.....the teams that qualify for the EL are one rung below the teams that have to qualify for the CL. Be that one team or five.
The mistake you're making is football just isn't as simple as that. In one off games/two leg ties anything can happen. There is almost no discernible difference between the quality of the teams you talk about. In our EL qualifying group we got beaten twice. By your assertion we shouldn't probably have been beaten.
I'm with ORD.

WTAF - first comment is so infantile its barely worth a response - most of us are fairly concerned about this season given transfer failings, and I stated I think Utd may wel finish above usthe Europa cup that Liverpool fans supposedly dont think is worth winning because it is too easy.
Second is Spurs fans not us - I recall saying the exact opposite and that your season was better than theirs when I was "polluting" this thread

And Celtic are now better than every team that'll be in the Europa League this year?
Am I getting there?

Liverpool would be lucky to finish 6th, in my genuine opinion.

Old Man Matic and overpriced donkey Lukaku, you mean? Wasnt that the ABU consensus?
I think you are a bit I think most people's criticism of Matic was that it was a lot of money to spend on someone at the end of their career. Personally I thought it was a lot but understood that there is a premium to pay when buying off a top six rival.
