The World's Cosiest Armchair!
Does anyone rank the competitions differently to this:

Premier League
Champions League
UEFA cup
FA cup
League cup


I was having a discussion last night about this and was very surprised to be in the minority that ranked the FA cup above the UEFA cup. (Mind you someone, who shall remain nameless(!), ranked the league cup above the uefa cup!)

just to be clear, there's an error above. I rank the UEAF cup higher than the FA cup.

Spot on in order of importance.

Why do all other European clubs take the Europa League seriously but English clubs don't? When we won the UEFA Cup in 2001 it was massive for the club! I also re-call knocking out FC Barcelona in the semi final of that competition too!

i know. there's big revenue in it. the club that wins it makes 20m over the course of a competition. would buy a handy player that.

I would place the champions league above the Premier league.

The Uefa Cup was big, since they re-named it, it lost a lot of prestige. Also I think we took it seriously under Rafa/Hodgson because we went out of the group stage on both occasions. I think we lost to the semis against Athletico last time out.

Back to Back World Champions baby!

We did, to a Forlan goal in extra time at the Kop end!

I think they should stop letting Champions League teams who finish 3rd enter as this really de-values the competition for me!
