    That’s what I mean though. Trash in the big 6 perspective, but the biggest game in Villarreal’s history, which is why we should want them to win.

    Random thought but I don’t think I’ve ever seem Villarreal in another kit than the yellows. Maybe one day they’ll play Dortmund or Nantes and have to change.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the 2019 final. Lots of sad Arsenal supporters at the bar I watched it at in New Orleans.

    A good opportunity to add a couple more former Tottenham players to the trophy-after-Spurs list if Capoue and Foyth can win it tonight.

    Just because it doesn't have great value to the huge clubs doesn't mean it's trash, that's ridiculous. It's a European competition with a lot of good/big clubs in it

    Obviously anecdotal, but Newcastle's European run was far and away one of the best times I've had following the club. Playing Anzhi pre-collapse and Benfica was awesome.

    Imagine being a fan of anyone besides ManU and not enjoying this momentous occasion for Villarreal. It's a town of like 40k people, most of whom are literally tile makers, sending their local to a European cup.

    I forgot these two morons would be on the Europa desk as well. Carragher saying the Anglicized L's and then laughing uproariously at his own shit joke is exactly what I expect.

    I think the champion of this competition has huge value for all clubs in the competition. You should be in it to win and that’s not a walk through the park. That doesn’t change my mind that it’s trash overall. And listen, I’m watching so I derive some enjoyment from the final. It’s not MLS level bad, which you couldn’t pay me to watch, but overall minus those good/big clubs you reference, it’s not a good product.

    I’m not trying to revamp Europa or change your mind, just my feelings. I think it would be vastly more interesting if a majority of the UCL/Europa was determined through finish in each respective competition vs traditional bids. I just don’t think a vast majority of overall fans even care about this at all until either the semis or the finals, assuming their team isn’t in it.

    Yes I want a super league with only two teams. Arsenal and Newcastle. I also hope willock scores the winning goal for us in every final between now and 2034.

    I mean the group stage onward consists of pretty good clubs and the matches and ties are generally unpredictable and entertaining. If it’s trash than pretty much anything outside of the champions league and the super league clubs playing each other is trash.
