Please let's not open Pandora's Box.... :D

LOL

I am not openning Pandora's Box, it can only be opened once and Kratos already did it!

I am just saying that Evra is pathetic. There are swearing all the time (I play College Football, I know) and he just chose one to press charge and fuck with Suarez because we all know how things are carefully trated when things of that matter comes on. I wonder what the media would be saying if Berbatov did it and Evra got offended...

Anyways, I gave my 2 cents and am not polonging this shit. Dont want to start a revolution here!

I wonder if it was the other way around...I bet Berbatov would be charged with racism and get 8 games!

According to United fans, Berba and Evra are good friends and Berba took is for laugh. But still, I see your point and it would most definitely lie on the FA table. Just because it is United. The fear of Ferguson.

I disagree. They have a thin squad like us and they want Champions League football more than challenging for the FA Cup.

Do you know the last time they won a trophy? not everyone has this CL football over all mindset Wenger has.

Of course you want that and the money etc that comes with it, but it doesn't mean you should neglect opportunities to add to the trophy cabinet. Even Wenger is finally realizing this.

The Spurs fans I know want to get back into the Champions League. They finished fourth last year and that is what they want to achieve this season, so whilst a cup might be nice it isn't the most important thing.

Hopefully this won't come back to bite us on the backside in May.

Well small club mentality. There is no reason Chelsea can't get CL football and also get a trophy.

We just need to have Mikel, Moses, Luiz and Hazard back and we can have a bit more rotation than atm.

If we don't get top 4 because of the fact we didn't get knocked out in the 4th round of the cup we don't deserve top 4.

Because we're not all that good at the moment. That's a pretty good reason isn't it?

We've got no midfield and no leadership from the sidelines. We sacked a manager in November. We're essentially a damaged ship trying desperately to make it to shore where we can start to rebuild. We're lucky that the teams around us have been relatively poor this season.

Trying to win trophies should be a distant second to making sure we're in the Champions League next season.

Deserve? Fuck deserve. We're beyond deserving shit. We need to just make sure we're okay to start doing stuff next season. We need to be able to go to managers and players in the summer and say 'we want you to be part of our Champions League challenge' not 'would you like to have your photo taken with the FA Cup?'.

@The only place to be,

I have said, our priority should be top 4, but i can't see us not making it simply because we had an fa cup run, especially when most of the fixtures are more conviently arranged than capital one games.

Say we get to the semi-final. That means pushing back the Spurs home game to possibly after an away trip to Liverpool, or after a home game to Swansea or maybe even to before or after games against Man United (away), Aston Villa (fighting for survival) or Everton (pushing for top four possibly).

That's if we don't progress in the Europa League, and today demonstrated that we simply can't rest Mata who already looks like he's ready for flip-flops and a beach.
