The "better clubs" cope with playing in more than 1 comp?

Chelsea are 17 points behind the top of the table.
Arsenal are 15 points off the top.
Spurs, no Europe, no CC and 14 points Off the top.
Us out of CL, out of the FA cup, no CC and slipped to second in the league after losing to Swansea with our 2 best CB's injured from a Europa league game.
Scum out of CL, out of FA cup, no Cc and looking likely to go out of Europa tonight.
Liverpool, CC and still in the FA cup but no Europe and probably won't even qualify for the Europa next year either.

The days of the top 4 being in the last 8 of the CL, the semi's of the FA cup with a massive gap between 4th and 5th are over. It was only possible because the league was so tipped in their favour by CL money and everyone just rolled over for them and played for 5th. The league has become much more competitive now and it's simply too hard to try and win everything. We need to prioritise at the start of each season. Barca and real will be doing it for a long time because that league is a fucking joke but hopefully those days are over for us. I don't want to be the best team in a shit league, I want to see competition.

Too early to say, it depends on the final, if anyone other than the Munichs wins it then i'll be happy to go out and concentrate on owning our league.

Match the rags. If they go out, I don't care, as it would just mean more games for us whilst they get to have time off and play ahead of us. If they go through, I want to as well, to make sure we stop them winning it

I want us to go through

Lose tonight and the league campaign would be affected. Winning is something we need to do tonight and keep on doing

Through.

Sorry if I offend anyone here but the negative and defeatist attitude on here since the Swansea defeat is pathetic. Man the fuck up and get behind the lads.

We are well capable of winning both the league and the Europa cup.

After 10 long months without a cup we cannot afford to be so picky about "do we or don't we"



After TEN LONG MONTHS.

Beautiful.

thing is, even if we advance today and rags go out, it's hardly going to be a simple matter for us to win the EL. athletico, athletic, valencia, udinese...all are capable of beating us unless we use our best players. imagine if we make it all the way to the EL final and LOSE, after effectively handing the PL to rags...

This may be our last chance to win Europa League/Uefa Cup, looking at the way our club is growing. I am really convinced that we ca do both, win the league and win the cup, all we need to do is get a grip of ourselves.

We need to go through. All this talk of "concentrating on one competition" should be a thing of the past. We are ranked as one of the top ten teams in Europe we need to get used to playing in multiple competitions. We need to practice pushing on multiple fronts. Elite players will demand it. The best managers can juggle it.

of course we should got through, we haven't exactly got a press full of major trophies..... this squad should be more than capable on giving 100% on both fronts.

Definitely this. Can't believe any genuine fan would want us out.
