Just saw your comment. We obviosuly think very much alike on this one

Europa Cup is our best bet but i really hate this competition I would say its is the hardest competition to win, soo many games to play all over Europe it would be a great boon for our team.

It could have been an incredible trophy haul this year when you think about it. We're still in two competitions with a decent chance in at least one. We could have already won the Supercup and World Club Cup just by winning a one-off game and beating a couple of weaker sides respectively. And we had an insanely easy draw in the League Cup. We may have missed out on the PL and CL, but could have cleaned up in the other comps. Shame.

Imagine - Europa, League Cup, Supercup and Club WC in one season. All very attainable even with our crappy squad.

Maybe if the club had stuck with Robbie until at least the end of the season we could have attained all that (apart from the Super Cup).

Maybe, in hindsight. But even I thought Rafa was good enough to navigate us through the CWC and possibly LC.

It´s as you say though. By all accounts we have a crappy squad. Certainly when compared to years gone by.

Robbie was doing well enough with the squad he had available. Consider that for much of the time this season Robbie was working with only one available striker in Torres and the fact that he kept us at the top of the table for as long as he did is quite a major achievement.

Yes there was a dip in form under Robbie but how many dips have we gone through under Rafa already ? Also Rafa has had the advantage of nearly always having two strikers to choose from as well as a return to fitness of Lampard.

The likes of Mata and Hazard have kept us afloat this season and I wouldn´t like to think where we would be this season without them.

Certianly not still in the top four that´s for sure.

"Would complete the set - Champions League, European Cup Winners Cup, Super Cup and hopefully the Europa League."

@Superb it'd complete the European set but unfortunately it wouldn't complete our world set, as Cortinthians made sure off that

Superb we'd be playing City at Wembley not the Ethiad
