Has Chelsea's league form dipped ? Did City's ? Utd's ? Arseanal's ? and if you do manage to find a defeat in there that you manage to tie up with playing in Europe, what constitutes a dip ? Is it the same 1 win in 9 that we had even without European football ?
I'm not necessarily arguing it would dip, however it is an argument that has reared its head many times on this board before. I am a great advocate of pursuing the europa league, watching how over the moon the Bilbao players when they got to the final made me wish we had given it more of a go. Unfortunately though, Europa is just seen as the low fat version of the Champions League. Easy to fix, give the winner a fudging champions league spot. Its so obvious it genuinely annoys me
