IMO we should try to win everything, but if we have to our priorities should be in this order :-
Premier League,
Champions League,
Fa Cup,
Carling Cup,

Qualify for the CL for the financial / status aspect.
As a football competition the CL is in my opinion quite silly. We've just had the 2nd best team in Germany totally outplay the 6th best in England only to lose on penalties.
Liverpool won it the year they were only 5th best in England.
Chelsea failed to win it in previous years when they had a much better team than they do today.
It's daft and in that context not particularly meaningful. Essential to be in it though.
