From what I've heard from various player interviews, Ravel Morrison.

He's got that weird 'been abroad for a while' twang that the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith had.

As much as I have problems with modern day football, the PL is really popular because it's always (and increasingly so imo) been competitive to a broader extent than other leagues. Therefore it's been profitable and clubs have used that profit to double down and attract the best players, meaning, as you say, even its 7th best teams are favourites for the Conference League. But the flip side of that is that the opposite is also true of other leagues. They're less popular, largely because they're reaping what they've sown for being less competitive for so long due to their own issues with one or two clubs hoovering up all the money and talent and dominating. But it's just a phase imo, no league will ever dominate Europe because those lagging behind will always be forced to be creative and innovate, and dominating teams will always get complacent and have hubris. It happened to Italy, then Spain, now us imo. In the meantime Serie A is competitive again, and Germany looks like it's getting its act together at the moment. Anyway, I'm blethering. My point is that I don't think the situation at the moment is because the PL is doing anything wrong in this case, in fact it's the opposite, other leagues are reaping what they've sewn but will hit back, and even if they don't they should get their own house in order if they want to be broadly competitive, they don't need a bunk up.

Maybe Ronaldo was right.

Or 8th.

I'm sure the fans of whichever team benefit from the coefficient won't give a shit about that and neither would we.

Or 8th.

Never want to see any posts from any of you about Sunderland 'hating Newcastle first and loving Sunderland second' then.

Is it still schadenfreude when you're cutting your nose off to spite your face?

If you're at the point where your disdain for English dominance in Europe (a phase just like any other) is encroaching on your support for Newcastle qualifying for the best European competition possible, is it not time to ask whether you're sipping on the kool aid a bit?

You're completely mental, sorry.

Yay, the team I support are less likely to get into Europe. It warms my heart, what a great night for football.

Can fully understand it tbf.
