What is notable is the fact that so many British sides have been kocked out of their respective competitions, i.e. Man United and Man City out of the Champions League, Fulham, Tottenham, Celtic and Birmingham City out of the Europa League and Europe altogether. At least there'll still be 3 British clubs in the Europa League come February. Whether they want to be in it remains to be seen.
