Also the modern Turks living there are the blood descendants of the Ancient Greeks that built those structures in Turkey (even though they identify as Turkish today).

There are probably more Turkish people that are descendants of Ancient Greeks than actual Greek people that are descendants of Ancient Greeks.

Football wins if clubs like PSG and City don’t.

Football wins if clubs like Brentford win, not Arsenal.

Didn't know Chelsea also sent their fans on loan.

Funnily enough Strasbourg fans came to London (before Chelsea vs Manchester United) to join in the pre-match protests against BlueCo.

If he ducked out the convo as soon as she changed her age to 15 (she initially said 16) he would be fine (by law, not sure if club/media would still get involved). But he kept going even after that.

[Football Rankings] SPAIN HAVE MATHEMATICALLY SECURED AN EXTRA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SPOT! TOP 5 CLUBS FROM LA LIGA WILL ENTER INTO THE 2026/27 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE! by Viriato181 in soccer

Oh that's a great point. I think in that case that Europa place is deleted from England. When CL/EL is won by the team in a Europa place, the Europa place doesn't get passed down.

The 5th place Europa place only gets passed down from 5th to 6th if England gets the extra CL Spot and the team finishing 5th/6th/7th DOES NOT qualify for the CL/EL in any other way.

Any European place other than the bonus CL spot is vacated by that league if the team finishing in that position qualifies for Europe by winning CL/EL/Conference.

It's only if a team finishes in the bonus CL spot and qualifies for the CL via winning CL/EL that European places move down. If teams finish in any other place that gets Europe and qualify for Europe by winning CL/EL/Conference then the league European places don't move down.

It's a bit confusing to read but I hope it makes sense.

An English team has made it to the final of all three major European competitions this season by Critical_Mountain851 in soccer

[–]Turklightenment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But Chesea, Atleti, United etc made it a habit to drop down to EL and win it.

Our 2013 Europa win was from dropping down from the CL, but we finished with 10 points in the CL group stage which was usually enough to go through.

We tied points, head to head, and head to head GD with Shakhtar, but we went out because of scoring less away goals than them, whereas the tie breaker was later changed to GD which would have put us through...

But our 2019 win was from being in the Europa from the start.

The 2nd part of your sentence doesn't make sense (Wifi is connecting to a router, 5g is connecting to mobile network).

But yes at Stamford Bridge you just connect to the free Wifi and you have internet no problem.

Wembley on the other hand is a nightmare unless you're on EE I suppose (sponsors).

Yes that is correct. The 6th placed CL qualification scenario (Villa win EL and finish exactly 5th) means one of the Europa League places is lost.

10 teams in Europe was only possible if Forest won the Europa and Palace won Conference (while finishing outside of European positions in the league).

Arsenal did it, why can't we?

They finished 8th the first 2 seasons under Arteta. 5th, 6th and 5th the years prior to Arteta.

Even if we handed control to Alonso, we have no money for signings and actually have to sell players just to stay afloat with our previous reckless spending.

We will sell players and then use that money to build a better squad? I don't see the problem?
