What’s happened to this competition 😂😂😂.

 

Ferraf***ingvannycos or whatever from Hungary killing it with Robbie B****rd Keane in charge 😂😂😂😂

 

Florist will end up winning it and finishing 17th in the PL. 

Standard has enormously dropped off since the dropouts from the Champions League were stopped. It's why two garbage Premier League sides made the final last year. That being said I do think Bilbao were better than both last season and really fumbled it in the semis.

What it shows is that the Premier League as a whole is so much stronger than any other division in Europe. Which isn't a surprise, an average the premier league salary is 3-6x the size of salaries picked up in Italy, France, Spain and Germany

Think this is undoubtedly true now. That final last year was a pretty bleak outcome. Two genuinely rubbish sides who were still able to dig out enough to make a final - it's broken when this can happen.

Not sure about that 1 premier league winner out the last 6 years.  I remember seville winning it whilst finishing nowhere in the league, Frankfurt too.

I think PL sides have underperformed in Europe relative to the amount they've spent personally but because there are only a quite limited number of actual trophies to play for it's given a bit more of an illusion of balance. I'm saying this as someone who'd rather things were a bit more balanced in general as well. It's quite bleak to me that Bournemouth could play Porto or Ajax and probably end up bookies favourites.

Bilbao benefited from opposition idiocy/friendly refereeing to get them to SF. Were consistently playing against 10 men in previous rounds

They're crap aren't they. European football is in a bleak state if they go much further in this.
