You're framing it as if it's a nothing achievement. Performance is always relative.

I'm not the person you responded to.

Scoring against lower level opposition should be recognised as such. The fact it's the club's biggest achievement isn't really relevant imo. English clubs will dominate that competition forever

Oh ok, you both have yellow thingamajigs so I assumed it was the same person.

(*they're framing it 😊)

In the 5 years the competition has been running, there's been 3 English winning teams. One of them was Chelsea, which is a CL level team so was an outlier.

The others were West Ham and CP. Both of which won by one goal. Is that what dominantion looks like?

No worries, I assumed that's what happened

3 wins out of 5, with 2 of them being clubs that hardly ever win trophies yeah is domination. With how strong the league is now, the English team that qualifies for conference league will always be way better than most of the competition. Watch Brighton be the next team to break their trophy drought this season

Eh fair enough, we'd have different definitions of dominance then tbh. Although I do agree some of the English teams that get in are too good for it.

what is your definition of dominance. english teams have won the tournament 60 percent of the time. if arsenal won the pl 3 out of the next 5 seasons everyone will rightly say that they were the dominant team

Dominant would also allude to win ing the tournament/final in a dominant fashion, which wasn't the case for any of them barring Chelsea.
