another draw where we pull a massive team in a cup....shocking
to stay focused onthe competition it's better to get a bigger team as the players will be excited by it... long term for the league it sucks because we'll have to put more weight on the regular XI to play more matches |

It's a sad state of affairs when we are talking about our chances/preference of cup competitions, but having to also factor in securing runner up place in the league....
If that makes sense. Too much is made of the league, to the point that challenging to be runners up may affect us winning the FA cup. It's skewing the whole domestic game, IMO, and i also think it devalues the Champions League. |

i'd say we are FAR from having a zero chance of us not qualifying for the CL via league position |

i just don't think we are guaranteed of finishing in the top 4 right now so the league should be the priority until we get a bit of better depth in the squad, we should keep the focus domestically. It's not easy playing Thursday/Sunday from europa to PL and then you include the FA Cup into midweek assignments |

Europa cup is like winning the Carling Cup....it's a trophy but doesn't feel like a major trophy i see though why Ole is pressing hard for these cups because it's a just and inexperienced team that is trying to learn how to win and how to have that winning mentality. |

sure, it's better to win than to lose, though. as long as it doesn't hamper our chances in the league. |
