But it wasn’t always those 5 clubs. Sometimes other clubs were up there. Sometimes a club has a great season and makes their mark before fucking off. Either is more than anything we ever did.
EDIT: Remember that Red Star Belgrade have more CLs than Arsenal
Yeah so the point is if you are an Arsenal fan you should always want to qualify because you don’t know what is going to happen. Usmanov takes over and loosens up the purse strings, we get a sporting director, we buy Greizmann, Isco, and Mahrez. But now we’ve got europa league football…
Community shield,
UEFA supercup,
DFL Supercup (germany)
Supercoppa Italiana
etc
All the same format. One game, one trophy, huge pre-requisites for entry, but still, once your in, its a cup final. No going out to a bunch of farmers in a group stage, bliss.
A friend of mine has bought a ticket for the CL final tomorrow evening, without realizing it’s the same day as his wedding day. If anyone wants, they can go instead of him, no charge. All they need to do is be present at 1 pm at the Wedding Reception Venue Center. The bride’s name is Jane.
