Admittedly they have the CL to play for in it this year which means he's got a point in that it's something, although the thrills part is a bit over the top.
I was actually torn in the last few minutes between wanting them to lose thereby getting to see them go bonkers tonight and then see them in the EL but with the increased chance of them winning something versus them winning and going on to be hammered by Barca or Bayern or someone similar.
It's win win really as long as they play like this.
