Sanchez stealing the trophy to take to the fans, all very individual, not much team ethos there. Enzo wanted it too haha

Nine this season alone https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/twas-the-season-to-be-a-former-brighton-player.413637/

Wow. Yes I forgot about WBG + Undav too. Extraordinary really.

Was thinking about how many trophies our recently sold players have picked up now. I make it x7 trophies won between 6 players?
*in the last two seasons.

Mental. Makes you wonder what if. The day we stop selling our best players, is the day we win trophies I think. Which the club should think about.

What with Chelsea having spent so little on their squad in the last three years, you can't help but be enthused by the joy of winning the Conference League. I thought the commentators could have been more complimentary.

How do we stop our players from trebling their wages with a major European Champions League Club ?

Well I underestimated that number as @pigmanovich pointed out. It’s 9 this season alone (WBG, Undav to name a few). Plus chuck in Mac’s Carabao cup too.

It’s great but slightly depressing too. Of course there’s no way we could keep all these players but it does make you think what if? Surely a bit of silverware would have come our way?

Man Utd are not a team to let not winning anything get in the way of a good parade:

Oh......

Man Utd booed off after 1-0 defeat by ASEAN All-Stars in Malaysia

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim believes it will do his players good to leave Kuala Lumpur with the sound of boos ringing in their ears after a 1-0 loss to ASEAN All-Stars.

Hot take: Betis would be battling relegation in the PL.

Betis with La Liga financial restrictions building the squad. Maybe but don't think so, at least not this season.

Betis with EPL money, no way. They are a well organized club with great fan base and a good experienced manager. I think they would do fine.

True, but then again without winning trophies, we couldn't compete with those wages.

It's a sincere "meh" from me. Not WTF but more WGAF.

Exactly.

I think they'd be at around a Wolves level as they are. Steady squad being carried by a couple of players on a different level. Obviously the financial pull PL clubs have is making traditionally smaller clubs like Albion, Bournemouth, Brentford etc a more attractive opportunity than much bigger clubs from Europe, as well as the 'shop window' element.

Seems nuts teams that do have financial restrictions in an inferior competition get pitted against some mugs that have spent £2bn in the last few years but that's football these days, I guess.

Thank God we didn't need Chelsea to win to qualify for Europe. I'd have felt dirty supporting that lot.

Faustian pact indeed. But one I'd have taken had it meant us qualifying for Europe.

I believe we would have had every chance of making the latter stages of the Conference. Gutted we missed out.

Pundit: "Well Cole Palmer, how do you feel about winning the game?"

Cole Palmer: "Incoherent mumbling........"

I did just catch him apologising for his haircut and being butt ugly!

Anyone watched it able to tell me if Caicedo was booked or not? Fotmob and LiveScore both show he was, but my PaddyPower bet builder says not

I'm sure he was.

Trophies alone won't do it.
Very little money in Cup competitions.
Continuous champions league qualification would be required for us to compete with those wages.

Haha how did Jackson **** that up ?
