@donhutch4 Isn’t this actually a factor though? The 20 prem sides generally rank higher than the respective top leagues and therefore th standard of opposition in the prem is higher than it is in parallel leagues in Europe which means they are likely more fatigued and can’t prioritise

So currently no English teams winning, two done on set-pieces, two done on transitions, with a number of individual errors. Wrote in my newsletter on Monday that a few in European football were raising the old Platini quote: "The English are lions in winter, lambs in spring"

@GuillemBalague why is that Guillem as I don’t think there should be a need to prioritise given their resources and capability? The level of the Prem and the squads the top teams assemble, should allow them to compete for both. The UCL is diluted by opening it to a larger pool which is tiring

All English sides, except Arsenal and Liverpool, experimented or tried something unusual this week: City with two wingers and less midfielders than Real Madrid (corrected at HT), Newcastle without Gordon in line up, Spurs and Chelsea with goalkeepers (both to blame for goals). In England, the Premier League and Champions League are given equal billing (sometimes PL get more respect). In Spain, the Champions League is always the clear priority — and you can see it in the line-ups and the attitude. So here’s the question: if English clubs want to win the Champions League more often, do they actually need to treat it as more important than the Premier League, even if fans won't agree with the idea? I know you can't take big conclusions of a game, but as success for English sides in CL is not coming as regular as the financial dominance, I wonder.

@SkySportsNews How does this actually get any air time?! Of course he’s going to say that. Ridiculous piece. Absolutely no credibility. The standard of punditry on Sky Sports is horrendous, especially considering the cost.

There’s a weird agenda around Arsenal right now. “Boring.” “Only set-pieces.” “Bottlers.” “No winning culture.” Let’s talk facts: Went away to Brighton. Took three massive points. Stayed ahead in the title race. Increased their lead Was it a classic? No. Did it need to be? Also no. Title races aren’t won on vibes. They’re won on results. We’ve seen champion teams grind out ugly away wins for years. When they do it, it’s “mentality.” When Arsenal do it, it’s “boring.” Three points. Away from home. Under pressure. That’s not bottling. That’s growing up. That’s getting closer to the title

A huge 3 points earlier today. Was it pretty? No, but I don’t give a f$&k. Of course it’s nice to play pretty and attractive football, but it’s about results. Any team would gladly swap. More to the point any team can beat any other team so it’s not ‘boring’. Far from it. Knobs

@laura_woodsy Such a terrible take. There’s so much people can learn from such an attitude and philosophy. Very much a role model.

Find these takes baffling. Why is confidence and pride always reframed as arrogance? You don’t get to the top level without self belief. Why is it necessary to be coy about your achievements? Or is it just a female thing… Clearly not seen any of her other interviews before if you don’t think she’s a role model. Would love my kid to turn out like her.
Megan Basham@megbasham

I'm sorry, but even beyond betraying her country, this woman is awful. Off the chart levels of arrogance. I don't care how many medals she has, there is nothing about her I would encourage my daughters to emulate.

@unlearn16tweet Very insightful. Thanks. And you’re so right. It applies to the capitalist mindset that we’ve all bought into (maybe duped to a degree).

The irony of Mourinho calling out Vini’s celebration & supposedly inciting the crowd, has he forgotten his record of celebrations?! And to not condemn any racist comments just makes it worse. Muppet bbc.com/sport/football…
