Football

It’s important to keep our fringe players happy, give them a runout and get them valuable experience. The way PL teams treat European football nowadays is a shame. Not just the EL but also the CL.

PL money is worth >£145m a season for a top 4 finish whereas the unwelcome distractions are worth €100m if they win the CL but it’s proven to be next to impossible for English teams to challenge for the PL and win the CL in the same season. EL winnings are miserable at best.

serious question @jaw, @>>>>>> @WornCleat, how important is winning the Europa League for Chelsea this year?

Winning the PL must be top priority.
Top Four finish second priority
Europa League third priority
FA Cup fourth priority
League Cup fifth priority

The first three bring with them CL qualification. That is the most important thing this year. How it comes is largely irrelevant except that in any knock out competition there is an element of uncertainty and so better to qualify through the league. Obviously it is better to qualify by winning the league.

How important will winning the Europa League be for Spurs this year?

I wouldn't kick it out of bed if it farted but CL spot has to be the main objective, however we get there... And if we don't, that's fitba! #perspective
