it can be summed up by teams would rather finish 4th in the Premier League

than win a cup. On another forum I laughed and cried when the question was asked if you would rather score the winner in the World Cup final or captain your country to winning the World Cup and somebody answered with the wind up of 'neither, I would rather finish 4th in the Premier League'

Just the fact that exists as a wind-up is heart-breaking. Football is about glory surely. Winning things and winning things with style.
