It’s the most competitive I think even though the Rags and Newcastle failed to qualify, the difficulty of the Premier League takes its toll.
The Spuds and Villa are doing well this season and would arguably have done better than the two knocked out of the CL, however with 6 extra games would they have done a Raggy?
It just shows how well we have done to compete in Major Tournaments over the years, the CL is not an easy trophy to win, I’m guessing The Tarquins have had more chances than us and at a time when the PL was a duopoly and they’ve still not won the CL. Doffs cap to Pep.
