Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, Man city and even Spurs if you ask them what there targets are it will be to get the top 4 minimum, we need to move on and get with the times, as much as it saddens me footbal has changed and we can either go in to a season looking to win the mickey mouse cup and not move forward or start putting foundations in place with a new look modern vision, and yes it's all about business now but a good business will bring success.
in a way i dont mind that they`ve clarified the situation, i`m gutted about the f.a cup, when i was growing up winning that was like winning the CL and thats not an exaggeration, before the season started everyone used to say what would you rather win this year, the league or the cup and half the fans would say the cup.
but at least i know not to waste my money on any meaningless games so i thank them for that.
