It's not really the Champions league though is it, it's a tournament for a fair amount of losers as well (mostly losers in fact).Originally Posted by GB.
In addition it's a slightly different case, we're a big club, historically one of the biggest in England and should really have a chance of winning it at some point, all we do is make up the numbers until a decent teams shows up to give us a pasting.
I'd be prouder of our record if something different happened from time to time, not just the predictable stuff we see every season. The fact we sit there and change nothing and hope things change really isn't very satisfying at all.
Neither is watching every other English side pick up the trophy instead of us. I actually enjoyed the CL more pre 2005 when although we didn't do that well you just believed we had a chance and the result was less predictable, it's not all about winning, it's also about unpredictability and having the belief that there's an outside chance it could happen.
