Every time you talk about "digging up" anything you always come back with shyte...so face it, the real reason is that you have nothing (as usual). KMT. Twit. Peter explained it to you in basic terms what we have all been saying all along, but hey, you're the one who thinks Martinez winning the FA Cup and getting relegated in the same season was a GREAT accomplishment. Have you checked out where Wigan are now? LOL!!!

I don't know why I should entertain these posts when you keep misrepresenting and at best misinterpreting a position. Who said any other competition "should suffer"?Originally posted by Sir X View Post
It's one thing to say that overall the priority is one particular competition, and another to say that because of this priority other competitions should "suffer", which is what you are claiming the position is. However, you cannot, realistically, afford equal importance to each competition, if that is what you are suggesting, unless you have deep pockets, a deep bench, and iron-men (no injuries). The squad has to be managed accordingly. As Paul has said, if you had a choice, which would you prefer? Win the FA Cup and be relegated? or win no Cup and NOT be relegated?
As of now, ask any Villa, Sunderland, Norwich, Newcastle or Swansea fan which they would prefer... the answer will tell you what the priority is. It doesn't mean they wouldn't mind winning a cup. 
Anyway, the reason why 3 points are important is because we are in eleventh in the league!! Winning will always inspire confidence (or should) and so your soundbite (the one you highlighted) gives no great insight into anything. If we focus on improving the league position, then European competition is guaranteed. Winning the league, (top four in the league or top seven (whatever Europa is)) should always be job number one. Instead, we are wallowing at 11th and it is looking like we will have to ensure success there (in Europe) because of our current league situation. BTW, to reiterate, aiming to win your league, or finish high (top four) does not (as you have assumed) mean that other competitions must suffer. (As usual you make up stuff to suit your agenda (whatever that is).
As for LvG... ah who dat??
If I were a ManU fan, this comment would be very disturbing " The top four will be very difficult now" He has essentially thrown in the towel. With twelve games to go (almost a third of the season), if he had any balls, he, IMO, should still be aiming for top four.
Of course, being in fifth in the league now, for HIS club, making Europe (or competing well in Europa) is the least he can try to deliver, considering their recent history of success, and expectations of the fans.
LFC staying in a European competition is also not to be discounted as a goal in case you misunderstand, but doing well at home (being able to vie for top honour in your domestic league) is the priority.

BR shortcomings all bare : Peter & Paul ?
How valuable is the cup campaign considering its path to top 4 and its impact on form and confidence ? after you answer that how much damage did the previous manager inflict on LFC with his utter disregard on the aforementioned ?
Here are two articles for you to make lucid conclusion ? and last but not least how silly was you thinking that all other competitions should suffer because the league is the priority ?
There may be nothing riding on the game, but with the recommencing of a vital Europa League campaign and a League Cup final on the horizon, it’s essential the Reds pick up three points for form and confidence

‘The top four will be very difficult now. It is still possible, but it is very difficult. The Europa League is easier (to qualify for the Champions League) but also not so easy, because there you have a fantastic European level in that Cup, so you have to fight for it. You have to show your capacity in every match and we didn’t do that today.’
Van Gaal conceded that qualification for the Champions League is the minimum requirement for United and said: ‘That was also our plan and you cannot close your eyes to that.’
