Its pretty shit compared to the continent isn't it. When was the last time any English clubs did well in Europe?

Apart from Leicester no-one can hold their head high on the top table.

Not sure any club can challenge in Europe anymore from these shores.

Only Liverpool tend to over achieve in Europe ( not a piss take)

Future looks bleak, or are we all waiting for Messi and Ronaldo to retire?

150m spent and you might not finish in the top 5. Wind your neck in.

i forgot about you lot

Well you should do your research before you start a thread like this, Johnny. I'd amend the opening post before you lose what face you have left.

Well done for handling Shane so wonderfully, by the way. Is this new cocky bravado of his in any way related to the fact that Liverpool are going to finish in the top four this season or is he still upset about Coutinho?

Didn't you hear, it was the dogs bollocks when Liverpool made the final?! Then again it was a shite competition once they were shown their arse in said final so I don't know what to believe anymore.

Who said it was a shite competition? Lets see a few quotes.

The minute the final whistle blew you specifically said "fuck it, it doesn't matter anyway. it's a shite competition and anyone who thinks otherwise can wind their neck in".

I don't know if you were confused or just emotional at the time but you clearly regretted your comments as you asked a mod to delete them for you and, thus, they were sent to that lost thread in the sky - never to be read or quoted again (except by those blessed with a fantastic memory).

Chelsea are pretty consistent when they are in Europe, I expect them to challenge for the Champions League next season. The other top teams have under-performed considering their talent and resources.

Get out of here, we had to deal with you lot (whom we dispatched with ease), bloody Dortmund, Villarreal and Sevilla! Who have you lot had? A bunch of amateurs mostly, though Celta will cause you problems I feel.

Onto the general point though that Chelsea when they are there tend to hold their own, City fluked it to a CL semi then got caught in the headlights; Arsenal are a continuing embarrassment as are Spurs, so yep after all the money and players the league attracts, the record recently has been pretty dismal, only Liverpool, possibly Man Utd this term if they scrape the EL and Leicester recently can hold their heads high.

Moving forward I feel Chelsea will give it a good go in the CL next season and possibly Liverpool too if Klopp strengthens in the right areas (IF they qualify).

For those that reckon Chelsea will automatically do well in Europe...Conte never got Juventus beyond the quarter finals of the Champions League, Allegri took them straight to the final in the season he took over from Conte and has taken them to (at least) the semi finals this season.

Bottom half has definitely got better in quality, the split in the league now is 1-7/8-20

I do genuinely think tough competition week in week out applies to PL sides now, in terms of Europe anyway. You ain't going to get away with resting key players for Bournemouth, Stoke, Palace, Watford or anyone else bar Sunderland (lol) on the road, like you can in La Liga, Buli, Serie A. It ain't the best league in the world, but it's only second to the championship in competitive terms, and even now you can argue that. I'm for a winter break personally. The league is tough, and it's killing our chances in Europe.

It is competitive but the fact we seem to be hover between 10th-13th doesn't say much for the teams below us!

Why do you and 'salty' have to go beyond every thread? It's literally a troll vs someone who sees this forum as life.

No wonder people stopped posting, it's all Liverpool, Everton, Liverpool, Stevencc, Liverpool, Everton, Liverpool.

It's dead here now.

With brexit coming in to affect, the future could look even worse. Still I believe the biggest reason for pml teams under performing in champoins league is the importance of the pml and the money that it pays.
