Never any doubt it’d be a Roma Sevilla final. Sevilla have an unbelievable knack of getting far into the competition and Mourinho is just….Mourinho

All the talk of the up and coming managers, there’s a fair chance the three respective European winners will be Guardiola, Mourinho and Moyes

Sevilla have never lost a Europa League final, winning all six. In fact they have never reached the quarter-finals and not gone on to win the competition. Beat Roma and it would be their fifth Europa League title in seven entries to the competition.

Mourinho has managed in five European finals and has won every single one. Winning with Roma would come 20 years after he won the same competition, then the UEFA Cup, with Porto. Also a chance to set a unique first (albeit in part as a competition is new), winning the Conference and Europa Leagues in successive seasons.

Something has to give.

Yeah this.

Saw a lot of people slagging him off for having fun following Reading's relegation. Sorry, get fcuked. He is allowed to do as he pleases as long as he doesn't bring the club into disrepute.

Yep, agreed. What is he supposed to do? Just sit at home all summer wallowing in self pity?

Yup, I too thought it a bit of an OTT reaction from Reading fans. The season has finished (for us), and he's gone to support a club/team/players he still clearly has an affinity for. He was just having a bounce and a chant, it's not like he was shown doing lines in the toilets.

Yep. I think his B-i-L is also a West Ham fan, so even more logical that he was there.

Agreed, no problem with Andy at all, sure plenty of other Reading players will have done that sort of thing down the years!

Just as long as he doesn't get injured in the process!

Isn't it next season, or the season after, that UEFA changing the format of their cup competitions and effectively giving England another CL spot?

You’d think the Dutch would have some pretty heavy sanctions now. It’s not the 1980s anymore.

Pleasantly surprised how the Europa League seems to have got itself a bit of gravitas in the last 2-3 years. Feels like a fairly well thought of competition these days.

Conference League too.

36 teams in a league, 8 games (6 in the Conference) - top 8 qualify straight to knock out - 9th to 24th play an extra knock-out round.
