From Glory to Gory to Watching Tottenham and Manchester United Embarrass Themselves in Europe

Last night, two of the Premier League’s major clubs, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, faced off in the Europa League final. As an Aston Villa supporter, the match offered an interesting perspective on how far we’ve come—and how much United and Spurs have struggled to keep pace in the Premier League this season. 

Manchester United, once the gold standard of English football, now look like a side searching for direction. Their season has been reliably inconsistent, lacking in individual flair and without any cohesive play.
