Newcastle

Liverpool and Arsenal exits from Europe should be embraced by all real football fans

Well Thursday night’s result at Anfield (Liverpool 0 Atalanta 3) certainly put a cat among the pigeons, for all of the folk who were hoping that English clubs would be more or less guaranteed an extra Champions League spot, via fifth place in the Premier League. Plus potentially that filtering down in terms of who qualifies for the other European competitions.

To be honest, I have been fed up this week listening to people bleat on about extra European places becoming available for English clubs, if only the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool could win their respective competitions.

These are Septic clubs who wouldn’t want Newcastle United to win anything if the roles were reversed.

I get that the Newcastle United owners are trying to build the brand, but flag waving and cheering on clubs with an agenda against us, isn’t the correct way to do it.

And why should we sit and lap it up as these self-entitled clubs wallow in the prestige?

It raises the profile of the cartel and the media love-ins with their cockney and scouse darlings would be unbearable.

It is hardly a disaster if Newcastle don’t qualify for the Europa or Conference Leagues anyway.

For the last 50 years I have witnessed Liverpool winning countless European and UEFA Cups and I haven’t once heard a scouser thank the rest of the country for wanting a British club to win.

Oh how I have waited for Liverpool to get a good pumping at Anfield off a so-called lesser club.

It ended Liverpool 0 Atalanta 3 and Klopp ended up throwing all of his big guns on in the second half to try and salvage something.

They are now as good as out of the competition. Atalanta have been a canny side now for a few seasons.

For what it’s worth, I also reckon Arteta’s Arsenal will bite the dust in their second leg against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

Both of these clubs inevitable exits should be embraced by real football fans who love their own club above all others and don’t expect any favours from their enemies.
