Priority - Cups

[The blue phantom]

I would honestly rip your hands off for fourth place right now, serious too.

I'm with you. But I'd like the league cup too if I'm being picky.

Did we grab 1 out of every 8 points against the Top 6 in our title-winning campaigns too?

3 out of 12 against our main 2 rivals in 2013/14. We have either fucked up or been fucked over in the big games for a while now.

put another piece of silverware in the cupboard and then concentrate on finishing as high as possible in the league

de-prioritise the other two cups and roll on Pep

FA Cup I would forfeit. Our squad is threadbare due to injuries and now we are being forced to play right before a crucial Champion's League tie for TV.

Celina, Barker, Manu Garcia. Just get as many of the young lads out as possible and explain to them that the result doesn't matter and that they should just treat it as a reserve game.

we are only 6 points off top, of course we can still win the league.

It's not just 6 points off the top, there are also 3 teams with at least 4 points ahead of us, we need all of them to collapse AND we also need to go on a great run and not drop so many stupid points. The team can't change overnight, other than our 4 first games we've been dire all season, it's just not going to happen.

If we win 8 of the last 12 we will definitely win the league. 4 points isn't insurmountable at all considering Arsenal and spuds have to play each other.

I just don't see a way we'll win 8 or the last 12 when we can't even win 2 games in a row. It's not that it's impossible, it's just that I can't see it happening with how we've been playing this season, the team won't magically become better just because we're trailing.

A bit early to write off the league given our recent history.

I don't see why people are focussing on the CL. We won't win that. Quaterfinal is only a minor improve,met. I'd rather we go for the FA cup against on paper, weaker teams, playing less games, and being refreshed midweek on most week. I'd take the two cups and third domestically.

I hope we go all out for the league cup and then try to make some noise in ucl
