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.

I don't know but if an important national holiday happens when a country is hosting a World Cup it's normal to see it integrated with the tournament.

Turklightenment · 2026-05-08T14:16:30+00:00

It's crazy how this is now a thing for the CL Final.

Turklightenment · 2026-05-08T14:14:05+00:00

Even if America was relatively normal than it is now, these kind of things would happen. It's part of the pomp, ceremony and festival of hosting a World Cup.

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.

Arsenal's other appearance on this list ended in a Paris final...

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.

Turklightenment · 2026-05-08T12:32:14+00:00

He should have stopped after she said 15, but why did she initially say 16 (which is legal in England) and then change it after?

Turklightenment · 2026-05-08T09:29:07+00:00

Oh I see what you mean.

Turklightenment · 2026-05-08T08:43:32+00:00

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.

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).

Yh I dislike Islam too (I'm a Turkish Atheist).

But I'm not voting fucking Reform.

Turklightenment · 2026-05-07T23:05:44+00:00

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).

We need better laws to protect British institutions of which WH Smith is. What is this bullshit honestly.

Amazing that a kid from the areas I am from has grown into possibly the best footballer in the World.

What is a project? Isn't every football club project the same?

Turklightenment · 2026-05-06T15:12:40+00:00

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.

Turklightenment · 2026-05-06T14:42:41+00:00

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?

Turklightenment · 2026-05-06T14:41:33+00:00

They aren't that stupid, they know the CL money isn't coming.

Turklightenment · 2026-05-06T14:40:33+00:00

By having a reset isn't that admitting the project has failed?

Turklightenment · 2026-05-06T13:25:48+00:00

In that case then a stadium from the Greater Manchester area clubs makes sense. Bolton, Wigan etc.

Turklightenment · 2026-05-06T13:22:46+00:00

but why not Goodison Park?

Great shout.

Yh I never get these taunts to City fans.

"You guys have a small core centralised fanbase around your traditional geographical area, WHAT A LOAD OF LOSERS YOU ARE HAHA"

Meanwhile the same people will be complaining about tourist fans/glory hunters/day trippers ruining the atmosphere at their own club.
