When Redknapp was at Spurs he pretty much pointblank said he'd rather finish a place below qualification, just to avoid it. West Ham were in it a few years ago and I was relieved when they got knocked out in the first round just because at least then they could concentrate on the far more important job of prem survival. I feel the same about the League Cup, and if things aren't going well in the league (which they invariably aren't) even the FA Cup, too. But the Europa league is definitely death by a thousand fixtures.
By hook or crook, Symbols needs to find a way of watching the Prem this season, or at least the press conferences; Mourinho vs Van Gaal is gonna be pure gold. The self-defined 'special one' vs the 'best coach in the world."
