If it happened, of course I'd accept it.
Think you're wrong there. VAR is a game changer. We've suffered enough because of it.No, it's not. This bullshit needs putting to bed. In a one off ninety minutes it's up to a team to be at their absolute best, otherwise they risk not winning the big prize. Your centre back slips in the 90th minute to let the opponent score? Tough shit. You've had 89 minutes previous to assert your authority and prove you are the best. A winner doesn't win by luck, it just means the loser didn't do enough to win the game. If anything, it's harder to win this trophy because the margin for error is zero. It's a cliche as old as time but it rings true: you make your own luck in football.
I never suggested winning the league isn't the greater achievement, although winning the CL isn't a much lesser achievement. They each require different mental skills to overcome. The league is a marathon, but in theory you could win a league without ever beating your main competitors. The CL by comparison is a sprint, but that is arguably the tougher mental test because you have to be perfect to win it. Statistically speaking, the idea that the League is harder to win just doesn't stand to scrutiny. How many Leagues have we won compared to CL titles? If the CL were easier and "tin pot", as some cretins on here have labelled it, we'd have at least one by now.OK then,let's use your anology there,centre back slips and it costs a goal,would you consider this as UNLUCKY then,because if you was winning 1-0 and it is suddenly 1-1 then it's extra time or lose on pens ?
Which way you want it ? Course it isn't bullshit,it's what happens for fuck sake,presuming uou have seen recent cup games/finals
Now winning a league over a season in 38 games is totally different and will always be a better achievement no matter which way it is analysed.
What kind of attitude is that? Because the morons would say you've only won one, let's just throw our hands up and say "fuck it, let's not win any."There is only one trophy that really matters to an English football club, the English league title! End of!
The champions league only matters to the muppets outside the club who bash pep. Khaldoon knows that otherwise pep would be gone!
Listen, even if we won the chumps league they would still say ‘one isn’t enough for all the money’ blah blah blah! Simon Jordan would still be sat working out how many chumps league trophies to yearly spend blah blah blah.
The league title is the one that matters. Your officially the best team in the land and to win it three times on the trot, your cemented as a legendary team in this country. It’s a rare feet, miles harder to do than win a cup comp.
