Manutd.com poll.
A poll of more than 10000 United fans on manutd.com resulted in 68% wanting to win the Champions League (CL) as a priority, with this I cant agree. The EPL is the hardest and most watched league in the world no matter what other leagues try do or who they try buy (Beckham). The competition in England is tough, we had three teams in the semi-finals of the CL and Liverpool knocked out Chelsea. Does this mean that Liverpool are better than them? No way! That just mean that they played better on the day just as AC Milan did at the San Siro against us. Chelsea were going for the EPL title and F.A cup at the time of the semi finals and they didnt have the luxury of resting loads of players the weekend before as Liverpool did. Same with us we had to play Everton the weekend before came back up from 2-0 down to win, that caused tired legs. Its not an excuse its just that last year we had a choice to rest players for the Everton game and possibly give up the title or go for the win and try our best in the CL. SAF chose the EPL. The EPL is about consistency, squad juggling, depth and maintaining a fit, injury free team. Don't get me wrong the CL is dear to me and I want to win it, but for me the Premiership is gold and the CL is silver. GGMU.
