What Qualifies as Success in the PL?

Mr Chelsea ✪

Spurs are a top 4/5 team. They've got the players. Giving a team a CL spot who are nowhere near top 4 standard is stupid.




Chelsea without the money would not be anywhere near the top four, most of their history they have spent mid table to bottom in the top division and a fair number of seasons a league down. Just because you now have a few quid, don`t diss teams who are not so fortunate. No wonder your club is perceived as arrogant. How do you know teams like Stoke would not be able to play CL footie, they have never been given the chance. Some of the teams making up this seasons CL would be better suited to the Conference, so don`t give it all the rubbish that only stella clubs play in the CL.

Why should 4th get a CL place though that's what i'm saying, what is the achievement in coming 4th in the league? Apart from getting a CL place. If 4th didn't get you a CL place then everyone would want to win the fa cup rather than finish 4th with no fa cup.

A 4th placed finish is currently rated higher than winning the main domestic cup and i don't see why it should be. 4th is nothing to be proud of

I'm saying Spurs are not far off from being a CL team. They can cope with the schedule and they can go up against most of the teams. They're better equipped to cope with CL.


Why give a CL spot which is meant for the 3/4 best teams in the country to an FA Cup winner who culd finish anywhere in the table? It'd make sense to give them the Europa League. Europa League to CL is a bit of a jump in the quality of football. If we are talkin about Stoke who on avg finish 11th in the league, They'd have a better chance of getting some results in the EL rather than the CL. Whats so hard to understand about that?

oscar its pillocks like abramovich with their cash that have wanted to do a european super league, so the cl has steadily grown.

its all about money.

chelsea are a perfect example of why uefa went a 4th place team in the CL. they want to make sure money chelsea and other teams like that are in it so that they get cash.

so dont go compplaining about 4th place being in CL, because roman would be kicking up a stink if it were any other way.

whereas your lot are still in that position...we've moved on..

& long before Roman rode into town

But Mr C surely winning the biggest domestic cup of the season in england makes you one of the best teams and better than the 4th place team in the league, that's what i'm getting at. It's seriously devalued and i don't see why.

And yehyeh Chronic blame us for 4th place You do realise Roman is one of the main backers of FFP

Based on that premise if you had not been fortunate last season you would be in the Europa League.

Once you remove 4th, then 3rd becomes the Holy Grail.

I personally think we should go back to ONLY CHAMPIONS & the previous year's winner being allowed in the CL...........................................this would change the demographics and make other competitions more interesting.

The Europa should be a conduit for entry into the CL for the winners only........................................

i would love to see stoke against barcelona! messi would look as tho he had had a fight in his pub on a friday night by the end of the game!

Champions + Runners up + Fa cup winners would be the ideal solution for me, if the champions / runners up won the fa cup then let it go to 3rd place or a play off between 3rd and 4th or something like that

Agree with the europa one as well. Would make it much more interesting, quality teams in it this year as well all battling it out for what? Entry to the super cup, wow

Oscar

what about the League cup winners then...I can't see how you are going to differentiate between two domestic cups to get into the CL

i believe its winning trophies to be honest ...

if you get 4th and qualifying for the champs league ...well done , its good for financial reasons ...but if you dont win it..whats the point....

we got dogs abuse for winning the league cup , but i was never as proud ...because we were at wembley and we won the cup..i dont care competition it was

so yea...its winning trophies for me

didier..........................................Interesting comment coming a supporter whose team finished below us in the league last year. Mind you we do know our place & especially as we don't have unlimited money donated by the Russian people!

Greaves - wouldn't disagree in principle...but the point stands
what will all the other countries do..? the same...?

that leaves the League cup as even more pointless than it is now

Ignore that last post scousers, I was thinking the poster was a scouser, not a silly ch....av. On second thoughts it will be OK for all future scousers that many happen to come across this article.
