Well tell that to club directors then, because that's how they see it. If Wenger was constantly winning the FA Cup but finishing 5th he would have been sacked ages ago. It was a bit different for Chelsea, they had a title-winning squad and could much more easily pick themselves back up and go again. If Liverpool don't make the UCL, it's pretty much back to square one.Qualifying for the Champions League is not above and should never be above winning a tournament/league/competition/trophy. It's that attitude which has led to Arsenals CL runs or spurs not getting out of the group. As we've proven a year out of the tournament isn't the end of the world.
I couldn't care less who my teams beats on the way to win trophies or how they're perceived by anyone other than myself. My club beat Bayern and Barcelona to win the CL and oppo fans said it's a fluke and the luckiest run ever. Do you think I gaf? Its the same as the 'bought the league' brigade its hilarious. United won against the competition put in front of them.
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I'm sick of talking about the manc wanks.
The attitude hasn't led to that at all, Arsenal just suck in Europe because for years they have let their best players go, and then come unstuck against the big boys in knockout stages who possess all the kind of quality Arsenal have sold over the years. It's not like Arsenal throw the UCL like you seem to be suggesting.
No, you shouldn't give a f**k, because the UCL is actually an achievement. The EL isn't.
