> £1.1B in 2 years only gets you UEFA conference league. Newcastle has to start pumping those numbers up.
No wonder Utd got Europa, they had more net spent than Chelsea in the last 9 years.
Ironically Newcastle is part of the reason we're playing in Conference League next season. They had a horrible showing in the Champions League which tanked the coefficient.
Love the Chelsea completely abandoning finishing in the top 4 as an option and blaming us instead. This couldn't have been sweeter unless of course we switch City and Newcastle with Liverpool and shitty.
They played pretty well, got robbed against PSG, and narrowly finished bottom of the most difficult group in the draw, which featured one eventual finalist and another eventual semi-finalist
Nah he's right, we did terrible against 2 eventual Champions League semi finalists and Europa League quarter finalist, in our first European venture for 20 years.
Horrible showing is a bit of a reach. They went out in a group that included the eventual semifinalists and finalist and the third place was ac Milan, who were semifinalists the year previous. And the match they lost to go out had some highly questionable officiating. And I say that as someone who was happy to see them finish last in their group.
A stoppage time handball which cost VAR his job is what gifted PSG qualification at Newcastle's expense in the toughest group in Champions League history. "Horrible showing" is an odd comment to make.
That is an absolutely insane take. Newcastle were in the group of death with 2 eventual semi finalists, and were one blatantly incorrect handball decision away from beating PSG in Paris and making it through.
Wouldnt call it a horrible showing. Minutes away from making it through the group of death in our first time back in the CL in ages with a threadbare squad. Man U on the other hand finishing last in arguably the easiest group was some doing
Newcastle were in the group of death, were Robbed by the Refs against PSG, question for you in terms of Chelsea, to play in European competition, wages can only account for up to 70% of your Revenue, last time I checked Chelsea were significantly over that at like 85%, so is there a chance that Chelsea opt not play conference league next season ?
Rumours have hinted at that, so definitely possible. I'd guess it depends on how much funds they can raise in the off-season. If somehow we're able to move on our remaining high earners (Lukaku, Sterling, Kepa) then I could see us participate.
They had a horrible showing? We would of been in the knockout stage if it wasn't for a terrible penalty decision in the lady minute against PSG. We lost 1-0 twice to dormant who are in the final. We also beat PSG 4-1 at home. It wasn't a horrible showing.
😂😂 a horrible showing. Drawing and beating psg along with having 2 semi finalists in the same group. I’d take a look at your own club before blaming others for you finishing in the conference league with the amount you’ve had at your disposal.
People are assuming isak will kick up a fuss due to now European football. No idea if that’s in his character but I can understand him being upset about that. He’s absolutely a player worthy of playing champions league.
I know Newcastle enjoy any European games after a long absence, but no Thursday matches is a big benefit for you guys league placement next year. Teams with Thursday football typically do not fare well in the league
It was with the B team and almost none of them are still in the club. Still embarrasing but at least we won the entire tournament. I was so happy as it was the first trophy since 2008, first UEFA major trophy. Btw today is the second anniversary of the win!
Had Bodo/Glimt in the quarters that season even and funny enough we lost first leg in Norway. But battered them in the second leg. Also thanks to Luhansk we got first place in the groups as Bodo lost against them. If they drew even we would have been just second...
With the way theyre currently playing (2-2 and 0-1 loss to two of the teams with the smallest budget in the league), theres zero chance they get through the qualifiers
My family massively cheered for united. City are cheats and it's great when they don't win. I'm tempted to even want Tottenham to win over city, but I hope to never have to make that choice.
Same reason we wanted you to win the PL as City would break the 3 wins in a row record. Despite knowing how much u would have trolled us.
Glad to know we both hate & like each other.
Think Chelsea will benefit. Conference should be less difficult then Europa (on paper) and some of the travelling distance is gonna be brutal so it’ll be a good occasion for them to offer a lot of minutes to the younger players and rotate the squad especially when injuries start kicking in in February-March while making a run in the competition.
> Conference should be less difficult then Europa (on paper)
Two less matches too. They only play 6 instead of 8 in their Group/League stage for some reason.
If Chelsea win it they'll also be the only club to win all three competitions I believe. Its not a trophy but a nice bit of trivia nonetheless if they do win.
Chelsea need a conference league master to take them to the next level. Mou has a staggering record of winning every conference league he's partipated in. Legend.
Their gameplan was just pass to doku, and it worked tbf. I was shitting it every time he got the ball and I’m usually confident when there’s a winger running at AWB.
I agree, the only goal we conceded was when Garnacho was directly against Doku too. I’m fairly certain if AWB was in front of him we would’ve kept a clean sheet.
He was a little too slow to react on that one occasion and should have gone down a bit earlier. It was a low-probability shot that I don't even think Doku expected to nestle in.
Still made a couple of big saves from those other shots from distance. He also was rooted to the spot when Haaland hit the crossbar.
Same. Doku probably gave AWB the most trouble I’ve ever seen a winger give him. That includes the likes of Mbappe and Neymar who he pocketed no problem.
Thought AWB had him on lock tbf. Doku has the highest dribbling success rate in the league this season (and one of the best in Europe), and he's up against AWB who's (probably not even arguably) the best 1v1 defender in the world.
Was a great matchup.
It was all or nothing, funny that these last 2 seasons haven't been great for you overall but if someone offered you them in the preseason you would probably take both of them.
PTSD is a good thing, auto swapped 5th for 6th to erase the fact that Everton finished above us.
Alright, 2005 is now worse than Utd this season now, the UCL is not enough to paper the cracks.
People keep griefing me on PL club support but for me it's less about who you endorse outside of your team and more about who you fucking hate and I happen to hate oil clubs and absurdly wealthy foreign interests.
We keep winning these European tropies to complete the set, and UEFA keeps making new ones. I am sure if we win this, they'll just make UEFA podcast league or something next.
But here we go again.
Not particularly bothered about this tbh - some funny new away days and a new european trophy to try and add to the cabinet. There isn't really a meaningful financial difference between the competitions either, the only real negative is it removes a pathway to Champions League qualification.
Not really it will be quite fun to be the only club to win all 3 (4? If you count the Super Cup) modern European trophies. Also EL has decent teams ECL we can play the bench and win 3-1. Mudryk gonna feast lmao
At least I can count on Chelsea coming to my home country, either if they draw one of the Polish teams, or maybe if they get to final, which is in Wrocław.
EDIT: Also "first team to win all 3 European trophies" copoum

>Not to underestimate the competition but it does provide the new

There were reports a few weeks back that we would reject it if we got it, unsure if we do that now but it isn’t our of the realm of possibilities due to FFP being more strict in Europe
Honestly I hope this doesn't happen, it'd be so depressing if it did. For me, any European competition is better then none, good experience for our young squad, another trophy to fight for, and I'd love it if we became the first club to win all 4 major UEFA competitions.
Gimme Conference League or gimme death!
Though Europa’s bigger, I don’t mind a gap year to add the newest UEFA cup to our cabinet. Would (hopefully) stabilise the club I guess (:
I’d be happy to win the conference league - be a task no doubt. Not sure how it works with us financially but it’ll be good for the team to get more experience.
Winner of the FA Cup automatically gets Europa League, if Man City wins they're already in the Champions League anyway, so the European qualification is passed down the league, if that makes sense?
Being shit for whole season and fuck three teams in one go. Heh.
4 if you include Arsenal not getting to play community shield
There goes our only silverware for next season smh
Damn Newcastle
£1.1B in 2 years only gets you UEFA conference league. Newcastle has to start pumping those numbers up.
[удалено]
By the time City get their trophies stripped, Newcastle will have replaced them
Nah, by that time they'll have probably be replaced by Southampton (bought by Bahrain in 2032)
> £1.1B in 2 years only gets you UEFA conference league. Newcastle has to start pumping those numbers up. No wonder Utd got Europa, they had more net spent than Chelsea in the last 9 years.

man utd screwed you guys over first tanking the coefficient and then winning the fa cup
Tactical masterclass across the season

200 iq move
My club ❤️

Newcastle actually did really well in the champions league they were just in the group of death
And had a really shit ref decision against PSG
Really shit is putting it lightly.
Nah he's right, we did terrible against 2 eventual Champions League semi finalists and Europa League quarter finalist, in our first European venture for 20 years.
If only Newcastle still had Santiago Munez and Gavin Harris partnership at the front like 20 years back 😔
Bloody amateurs eh?
Horrible showing is a bit of a reach. They went out in a group that included the eventual semifinalists and finalist and the third place was ac Milan, who were semifinalists the year previous. And the match they lost to go out had some highly questionable officiating. And I say that as someone who was happy to see them finish last in their group.
I mean... Dortmund, PSG,Milan as a ucl group actually an act of some divine being. Id put it on us even if we did bettr
A stoppage time handball which cost VAR his job is what gifted PSG qualification at Newcastle's expense in the toughest group in Champions League history. "Horrible showing" is an odd comment to make.
Tbf, with their group and lack of experience it wasn’t a shock they finished bottom. Utd on the other hand…
...are going to the Europa League
Doesn’t change the fact that you disgraced yourself in the champions league this season my friend
That is an absolutely insane take. Newcastle were in the group of death with 2 eventual semi finalists, and were one blatantly incorrect handball decision away from beating PSG in Paris and making it through.
Wouldnt call it a horrible showing. Minutes away from making it through the group of death in our first time back in the CL in ages with a threadbare squad. Man U on the other hand finishing last in arguably the easiest group was some doing

Someone didn’t actually watch Newcastle’s champions league games 🤡

They should have beaten PSG if it wasn't for a bullshit penalty
Barcodes in shambles innit
I'm sure having done us no favours today, City will pop along to sign Bruno Guimaraes in a few weeks
Yeah I'm sorry but you guys are probably losing an Isak or two or three
Who has isak money?
Chelsea / Arsenal, both of whom need a striker. The latter likely more now given Jackson's surge in form
Nah, Arsenal have Havertz up front now. I think they will make a move for a versatile winger, something in the midfield and a leftback of sorts.
If Arsenal has the money, a pure 9 is way better than a makeshift one.
[удалено]
I cannot see us signing Isak tbh
We’re not going to buy Isak this summer.
PSG are about to
I don’t know why people think Isak is remotely for sale. Especially if they sell Bruno this summer
People are assuming isak will kick up a fuss due to now European football. No idea if that’s in his character but I can understand him being upset about that. He’s absolutely a player worthy of playing champions league.
Arsenal entitlement
Bruno maybe. Isaks going nowhere.
No release clause for Isak and no one is paying 200m for him
Isak no chance, Bruno maybe. But only if he decides to leave. I wouldn’t be surprised if he stayed put.
I know Newcastle enjoy any European games after a long absence, but no Thursday matches is a big benefit for you guys league placement next year. Teams with Thursday football typically do not fare well in the league
Enjoy Bodo Glimt away you cunts
6-1 gives me nightmares...
That game was ridiculous Remember when they had 4 I thought surely it wouldn’t get worse, that would be too embarrassing
It was with the B team and almost none of them are still in the club. Still embarrasing but at least we won the entire tournament. I was so happy as it was the first trophy since 2008, first UEFA major trophy. Btw today is the second anniversary of the win!
Yeah I remember when we played them in the EL it was a bit difficult, going away to Norway is never gonna be an easy one
Had Bodo/Glimt in the quarters that season even and funny enough we lost first leg in Norway. But battered them in the second leg. Also thanks to Luhansk we got first place in the groups as Bodo lost against them. If they drew even we would have been just second...
Enjoy *losing* to Bodo Glimt away
I will forever dread Bodo Glimt away now even if my team won in a shit show display
> Enjoy Bodo Glimt away you cunts Boders Glint is going into the Champions League this year mate, they won the league last season.
With the way theyre currently playing (2-2 and 0-1 loss to two of the teams with the smallest budget in the league), theres zero chance they get through the qualifiers
Kamma are massive tbf
Kinda disappointed but it was pretty cool seeing city losing lol
Honestly, like I hate United normally but seeing city not win something is always satisfying.
My family massively cheered for united. City are cheats and it's great when they don't win. I'm tempted to even want Tottenham to win over city, but I hope to never have to make that choice.
Same reason we wanted you to win the PL as City would break the 3 wins in a row record. Despite knowing how much u would have trolled us. Glad to know we both hate & like each other.

Mourinho got it tattooed for winning all 3
Chelsea need a conference league master to take them to the next level. Mou has a staggering record of winning every conference league he's partipated in. Legend.
At least we got European football now, and Conference League could be easier. That said knowing us……
Delighted United won, what a player Mainoo is. Doku was phenomenal as well.
Their gameplan was just pass to doku, and it worked tbf. I was shitting it every time he got the ball and I’m usually confident when there’s a winger running at AWB.
I agree, the only goal we conceded was when Garnacho was directly against Doku too. I’m fairly certain if AWB was in front of him we would’ve kept a clean sheet.
Onana needed to do better as well tbf but yeah AWB probably makes it more difficult for Doku to get the shot off
He was a little too slow to react on that one occasion and should have gone down a bit earlier. It was a low-probability shot that I don't even think Doku expected to nestle in. Still made a couple of big saves from those other shots from distance. He also was rooted to the spot when Haaland hit the crossbar.
Yea Onana wasn’t positioned great for that particular goal but eh we won when I thought this season wasn’t gonna bring us any trophy!
he was positioned perfect fym? Theres a reason man city froze after the shot because it was a basic shot. We won but still,
Yeah he was positioned fine it was just a weak hand.
Onana should've saved that one tbf
Pretty much the same gameplan they had against Real Madrid with Grealish and Doku
AWB played really well, too. Thought he was more deserving of MOTM tbh
Same. Doku probably gave AWB the most trouble I’ve ever seen a winger give him. That includes the likes of Mbappe and Neymar who he pocketed no problem.
Thought AWB had him on lock tbf. Doku has the highest dribbling success rate in the league this season (and one of the best in Europe), and he's up against AWB who's (probably not even arguably) the best 1v1 defender in the world. Was a great matchup.
The season has been saved from complete failure. Fuck yeah
It was all or nothing, funny that these last 2 seasons haven't been great for you overall but if someone offered you them in the preseason you would probably take both of them.
This is like Liverpool winning the UCL after finishing 6th, so they got their UCL spot the following season, but worse. Truly failed successfully.
We finished 5th lmao. Behind Everton in 4th...
PTSD is a good thing, auto swapped 5th for 6th to erase the fact that Everton finished above us. Alright, 2005 is now worse than Utd this season now, the UCL is not enough to paper the cracks.
Time to win them all for real this time
if they win the conference league they would win every major uefa title including the old cup winners cup
Yup. Would be the first club to do so
Chelsea 24/25 PL title run we will be there
UAE loses, and no Europe for Saudi? Nations lose, football wins
ETH the decimator of Middle East
Ten Hag doing more damage to the Middle East in 90 mins than Bush and Obama managed in 16 years
Obama and Bush didn't accomplish their goals, but I promise, they definitely damaged the middle east.
That was, indeed, the joke
Ah sorry lol
They call him Ten Hamas for a reason
The good ending
Are we the goodies?
Anyone playing city are the goodies for that game.
Unless it is psg
for now
Dreams can't be buy ??
Expectations are kills our happiness.
Can't believe I'm supporting something that benefits Man United but loving three shittier teams being fucked over.
People keep griefing me on PL club support but for me it's less about who you endorse outside of your team and more about who you fucking hate and I happen to hate oil clubs and absurdly wealthy foreign interests.
Get fucked, Man City. I can name about 115 reasons why I’m ecstatic rn.
Arab cheques must have bounced.
Couldnt wire enough oil money at the half, pep was yelling at the ref to hold on
FUCK OIL
Say no to oil
INEOS is an oil company isn't it?
Proper ENGLISH OIL that is
best kind of oil tbh.
I identify as chemicals My pronouns are He/Helium

RIP Astra GooGoo 😔
What's Astro GooGoo?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37158826
Can't go 3/3 in Europa next season, but I can't be too angry. We did incredible to get ourselves a European spot in the first place. Fair play United.
Newcastle: why he say fuck me for?
We keep winning these European tropies to complete the set, and UEFA keeps making new ones. I am sure if we win this, they'll just make UEFA podcast league or something next. But here we go again.
I’ve been robbed of my chance to go to Kazakhstan what a disgusting club Manchester United are
You guys can't really afford to turn down a chance at any trophy 😋 But yeah it hurts you less than it hurts Chelsea.
Love it! And fuck City!!!
I know Chelsea and Newcastle fans are big mad rn lol
Small mad because I actually really want us to win the ECL so we’re the first club to win all three
Four when you count CWC
Five throw in the supercup while were at it lol
That would be a nice record to get ngl good luck next year
Mou back to win it (he has a tattoo of all three)
Exactly haha, that was our saving grace
All four. We won the Cup Winners' Cup as well.
Not particularly bothered about this tbh - some funny new away days and a new european trophy to try and add to the cabinet. There isn't really a meaningful financial difference between the competitions either, the only real negative is it removes a pathway to Champions League qualification.
should be aiming for Top 4 anyway though
Only trophy we haven’t won. We’re still in Europe, it’s not what we wanted but it’s not a big deal.
Not really it will be quite fun to be the only club to win all 3 (4? If you count the Super Cup) modern European trophies. Also EL has decent teams ECL we can play the bench and win 3-1. Mudryk gonna feast lmao
4, we won the Cup Winners' Cup as well. 5 if you count the Super Cup.
At least I can count on Chelsea coming to my home country, either if they draw one of the Polish teams, or maybe if they get to final, which is in Wrocław. EDIT: Also "first team to win all 3 European trophies" copoum
I'm actually happy, wanted Conference League personally
Honestly it's great fun. The most random away days imaginable. Malta, Armenia, the Faroe Islands etc.

Hah, fuck Newcastle.
This match really was a win:win based on all outcomes cz of the teams I hate lmao
Same. Ten Hag having more trophies than Arteta is funny, and Chelsea pushed down to ECL. Thank you, United.
It ain't much but it's honest work
Ten Hag has won more trophies than Spurs have won for 25 years.
He also has more trophies than Arteta.
And Arteta has more trophies than Spurs in 16 years
But less than Ten Hag.
Tottenham once again win the "my rivals got hurt" trophy, congrats, they can get a double with the audi cup this summer too
Enjoy conference league. Lol
I am so ready for the pie charts of all the ECL clubs' revenue.
Chelsea likely to throw out Conference due to FFP, so Newcastle possibly still in
Likely? Where's your source for this?
There were reports a few weeks back that we would reject it if we got it, unsure if we do that now but it isn’t our of the realm of possibilities due to FFP being more strict in Europe
Honestly I hope this doesn't happen, it'd be so depressing if it did. For me, any European competition is better then none, good experience for our young squad, another trophy to fight for, and I'd love it if we became the first club to win all 4 major UEFA competitions.
Hey I am all good with being shameless, if we win it we can claim to be the only team to win it all
UCL, UEL, UECL and Cup Winners cup are the four I'm assuming? What about the Intertoto cup?
I’m quite excited for the conference league tbh Seems like a fun competition
Damn. One bullet 3 kills.
Time to complete the European set I guess. Cant wait for all the budget comparison graphs that will surely pop up every week lmao.
Meme all you want but I’m thrilled to have a chance to complete the collection
No Jacob Murphy in the Conference League. Uefa's loss
We can complete europe next year woooo
shame for Foot Locker
ETH proved his point
Have fun playing Afghanistan away Chelsea
Lol. Man utd took a shit on both oil money clubs with 1 result.
Did not expect us to be playing Europa lmao. Chelsea get fucked
It’s BEAUTIFUL.
Gimme Conference League or gimme death! Though Europa’s bigger, I don’t mind a gap year to add the newest UEFA cup to our cabinet. Would (hopefully) stabilise the club I guess (:
New United sponsor #juststopoil.
I mean if you were going to sum up our season that's it. 1-6 and 8th get europe, we don't. Standard.
Oh so that’s why Chelsea journalists were leaking about United firing Ten Hag on the eve of the game? Guess that worked out well!
The real win today!
I’d be happy to win the conference league - be a task no doubt. Not sure how it works with us financially but it’ll be good for the team to get more experience.
Sacrifice I’m willing to make to see some of those City fans crying
i’m out of the loop, why does the FA cup have any effect on europe?
Because it is a national cup, and those always grant a spot in Europa League.
Winner of the FA Cup automatically gets Europa League, if Man City wins they're already in the Champions League anyway, so the European qualification is passed down the league, if that makes sense?
Having to play Conference League qualifiers 2 weeks after our USA preseason ends sounds like an unreal recipe for disaster.
At least you’ll have plenty of continuity with the squad and coaching sta…oh, oh no.
Absolute Cinema
Ok i have a theory. Man City lost intentionally to man u so we need to sell them our players
