Robbed by err...the ref, weather, shirt colour and oh yeah, a better team. Still an outstanding achievement and more than the mob from East Glasgow can manage these days. Not so great in Europe this season. I mean, they were in possibly the hardest Champions League group of all time🤦🏻Not like they were lumped in with a mid table Spanish mob and two sides from the Lithuanian & Slovak leagues😂 Liverpool, Napoli & Ajax, ridiculous. |

How are Liverpool getting on this season? 9th in Prem behind Fulham, Brighton and Brentford. And Ajax are 3rd in the weak Eredivisie behind the likes of AZ Alkmaar. |

Didn’t fancy mentioning Napoli are absolutely pi$$ing Seria A I notice😉🤩 Having a great season, but hardly makes for the "possibly hardest Champions League group of all time" with Ajax struggling after losing their manager Ten Hag and mostly their whole side from the previous season and Liverpool basically performing as bad this season as anything witnessed from them in recent memory. |

Far from the case when the draw was made & the group stage was played out in its entirety🤓☝🏼Hindsight is wonderful |

Isn’t there still a seeding system for the Champions League group stages? If so you have to earn your right to a ‘more favourable’ group. It’s the same with their national team, always moaning about a tough group and even when they get their way and virtually every team in a group now qualifies they still * it up. The Scottish leagues are sh**e and so is their national team - long may that continue 😁

West Ham reached the semi final last season and Arsenal and Manchester United (beaten finalist) the season before that. Previous season United again reached semis and before that both Arsenal and Chelsea. |

But didn't win so in effect english clubs did no better than Scottish counterpart They've definitely done better over the years than Scots counterpart (as anyone would expect) hence the higher number of participating clubs in European competitions - UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2016–17 to 2020–21, is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association. Although a cock waving competition with Scots clubs is obviously nothing to be proud of! 😆 |
