I agree. Winning 2 Cups is all fine and dandy now, but it does F**k all in sustaining success and a long term future at the highest level for the club.
Reaching the Champions League is more effective in the long run and attracts players that can keep the club acheiving a high standard.
I mean come on. Portsmouth won the FA.Cup a few years a go and look where they are now. Cup success (bar UCL) a
isnt as beneficial as it once was, as it it too domestic and success in it will not attract the best players from overseas who dont understand it.
And you remember Portsmouth winning the FA Cup there?
I've forgotten that Tottenham qualified for the Champions League last season and played Real Madrid.
Dont know about you, but Id rather see my team face Barcelona at home then beat Cardiff City on penalties in a final.
Hahaha one wrong word there change the sentence completely!
Your sentence means we play Barcelona at Anfield then we win the Carling Cup by beating Cardiff City on penalties but I'm sure you meant 'face Barcelona than beating Cardiff' but anyways ..
Who wouldn't want to see Barcelona?
I've said that if it's in our capacity to finish top four, I'm all for it but I wouldn't say "let's drop out of 4th spot race and just go for the carling cup" and I wouldn't as well say "let's drop out of the carling and FA cup and go for top 4".
If we have a chance for every best thing out there, we go for it but seeing UCL is out of the question, there's no point talking about it and that is why at this moment, I would prefer a cup or two(hopefully).
