What the fuck is this? We win 1 trophy in 35 years and all of a sudden some aren't good enough for us?

people should consider that winning it could push us into Pot 2 for next year's Champions League. And with there being no FA Cup left for us like last season, our fixtures won't be quite as congested as last season we had league + FA Cup + Europa League with an inferior squad (our squad won't be this depleted forever) than now.

Exactly these points above. We need to get into Pot 2 somehow otherwise we risk having a group of death again in next seasons champions league.

Has become much more important after tonight, strongest team for every game.

its become less, we need the title.

Agree. Can't afford to let ourselves be distracted.

Exactly,just said on another thread if we go out straight away we will win the league..

If we go all out & get to the final forget the league!

 

[Rammy Blue]

Nah, play the kids for me.

Concentrate everything on winning the title.

100% agreed. I'd happily fuck it off completely now as it's clear we can't cope with a sustained battle on multiple fronts. NOTHING should be allowed to get in the way of our title challenge. If I was Bob, the only players featuring in the Europa would be those with no chance of playing in the following league game.

Woo 1 FA cup in 35 years look at us. Embarrasing to think we can choose what trophies we will win and wont. And no we wont be a "laughing stock" if we dont win the league, unless youve been bragging to your mates about how were gonna win it already

last night when we got beat by Liverpool, i thought to myself, the only competition we have left to fight for is the league. I'd totally forgot about this competition. I don't think its important we win it. I think are one and only priority should be the league.

Think its more a case of supporters being realistic rather than arrogant.

I dont understand that mindset, I really dont...

WHY would you rather be the king of your own back yard than king of masses?

You want to win the League, of course, but that being more important than winning CL or EL for that matter is what I will NEVER agree with.

This team needs world-wide recognition. Being champion of your own country doesnt get you that (see Dortmund last year, or countless other examples).

What is with this nonsense. I will ALWAYS pick to be president of a country over president of my own municipality.

Always.


Teams like Inter, Bayern, Barca can do FUCK ALL in their respective leagues - but all people remember is that they are European Champions.

How did Porto become respected club? By winning Portuguese league? Fuck no - by winning Europa League.
