Mailbag: Do we need to tweak the European competitions?

Marcus, Luke and Andy wave Tottenham and Man United into the Europa League final with a simple question: does the fact that one of these basket cases will qualify for the Champions League make a mockery of the Europa League? And what needs to be done to address the imbalance in the Conference League?

Elsewhere, we explore the unique reasons behind players becoming club legends and after a certain humdinger earlier this week, we try to work out the ingredients for a perfect game of football. Plus, could Nottingham Forest’s unique brand of football suit them in a potential European campaign?
