I suspect that much of that is that they are perceived as having the easier side of the draw.

I did hear somewhere that UEFA referees had been told to clamp down on English sides manhandling players at corners and set-pieces. I wonder how much effect that had on the results.

Seems Opta didnt factor that into their calculations

We were favourites until we went to PSG last season. As @RedWhippet said it’s probably down more due to their draw.

3 of those managers could leave the premier league before next season starts.
Eddie Howe most likely to be given more time in charge.
Hilarious!!!

What annoyed me was that rule was only applied to penalise English clubs but it was open season to shirtpull grab players and to foul the goalie for the other European teams, typical UEFA making it up as they go along.

I wouldn’t mock it. He’s like watching ballet at times.

He’s always been a marvelous football player, though so damn dislikeable. Definitely one of the best and most complete centre forwards I’ve seen so far.

It this was Messi or CR, there would be a general creaming of the pants across the football world, but that was sublime.

I hope, Real Madrid do knocking-out Bayern Munich. But I do want too, Mainz 05 wins the Conference League.

If you look back at the last 13 years they often were a bit shit during the group/league stage but as soon as the knockout stage starts they somehow were able to get the results in and went on to win it 6 times.
