League is your bread and butter tbf and should always come first. Winning a cup is great for the moment it lasts, but ideally you should be putting everything you have into finishing as high as you can. If you can make it look like you're nearly at that top 4 finish, you'll probably have a better chance of attracting players.

We could easily challenge for both the League and the Milk Cup if we entered a proper team in both though. Why do we never try in the League Cup?

So is finishing 6th an achievement or something that will get forgotten about 10 years later?

Chalking up a trophy ticks that box on the record books.

Im just putting it into context. The press will give Moyes and Everton a pat of the back for what hes done. But he'll never got a better job because a top 8 finish is nothing compared to a trophy.

Additional to that, well look back on the the Moyes era and say... He never won anything.

That top 5 is too good for us.

I'm not Scouse.

as we are not going to make the top 4 i want Chelsea to crush the rs today. It might even shut Rodgers up for a few hours

 

[daza_1973]

Expect much much goofy-cheat hero worship, plus a increasingly rare shift from stevie Gbh -fap,fap,faping from the media as the RS win the we can beat Chelsea trophy again for the umpteenth year in a row.

The secret is to keep letting them believe that.....

I don't expect every everton fan to be scouse mate, we have a good mix. They seem to have alot of fans from Ireland/down south traveling to home games based on them interviews on five live.

I dunno. At this point, just being involved would be an achievement

I know saying that will upset a lot of the older fans, and rightfully so considering the success they've seen us have, but you have to be realistic about these things. Unless we start spending like a top 4 team, we aren't going to be a top 4 team. The teams above us are just too rich and we don't have the funds to match them. Hence, finishing 5th and playing in the Europa would be a genuine achievement and one we could be proud of even if we went out in round one. Just being there would be a minor victory

Mate, my whole point is Europe is just a smokescreen to the larger problem. It's like justifying spending £500 at the casino 'cause you won ￾£250 of it back right at the death when you were down to your last twenty. You still lost £250, almost lost all of it and you really couldn't afford to be there in the first place but you're so desperate to get out of your hole that you think gambling it is your best bet.

Luiz will definitely get sent off today, expect some kind of controversy surrounding suarez too when liverpool start losing.
