I'm more interested in whether Pogba scores a wonder goal. I did say I was bitter.
They crave CL titles because they are more reputable than domestic league titles. In fact almost all clubs say CL is more important and the only fans I've heard say PL is better than CL are Man Utd fans. On a completely unrelated subject Man Utd tend to do a lot better in the PL than the CL, though as I say, completely unrelated.

I like it. Good answer.
You won 5, I know and respect that.
But do these TV-cash-whores disrespect the league because it's a 50/50 chance, unless a certain Fat Waiter is in charge?

I can only speak for the friends i know.... But i have Benfica, Porto, Sporting, Rela Madrid and Barca fans who all consider winning the league as far more important.
It's all about the bragging rights. Do you really care that much is some Chelsea fan goes on about winning the CL? Compare that to some City fan going on about winning the league.
It is the same the world over, as far as i can tell.

That isn't really what you have heard United fans say. At least not on here.
What we say is that winning the premier league is our main priority.

Maybe a few,(I might be guilty) that after winning 3 in a row, start to sway to CL. Although one season with no league title soon prangs you back to reality. Maybe titliv heard a few of them.
Afterall we did achieved that feat twice in a decade.
Title number 1 and always has been, the European cup is a glamore bonus and is still a cup competition! United have 3 and will win it again but bragging rights at home is far more important to me

Valdez is keeping barca in this at the mo.
I can't think of too many of my scouse mates who would prefer another CL over a title win. I can think of a few that would throw their gran into the Mersey to see Gerrard lift the PL.
I've just heard a lot of reporters fronm Spain saying CL is bigger than league. After years and years and yars and....yawn......years, they take it for granted perhaps, knowing as long as they are gobbling a majority of the TV money, nobody else gets a gobble. Highly unfair, everyone would like a gobble don't deny that titliv???

Hahahah quality
though as far as increasing your reputation then CL is better.
...................
Not really. Real haven't won it for some time, yet are still regarded as giants of the game.
United have a poor record in Europe?? Really, there's many great teams trying to win it each year so 3 wins and 3 finals in 4 years isn't poor is it!
The CL is the biggest prize, domestic leagues can be won multiple times by clubs in their own leagues who have the most money, and buy up all the best players. Rangers and Celtic have won over 100 league titles between them.
Primier league trophy does look nice though, compared to the trophy they win in La liga, bundes liga etc. Probably the best looking domestic trophy imo.
Liverpool have won one champions league, lets get it right.
and in the Premier League era United have been Englands most successful team in both the domestic league and also in the Champions league.
but I think anyone would want the domestic league first. And don't let scousers kid you, they are desperate to win the premier league and they were very proud of their 18 titles when it meant something.
League is first priority every season.

I say that every season
Last season was painful
Good post Siempre, and spot on! I think having multiple teams in the champions league has stopped many thinking their league is less important. You had the win the league first then the prize was a crack at the European cup. However, it's a far better competition now and far far harder to win than the old style European cup!
But it shows if you pu all efforts into CL you can win and just forget about league. Cite Chelsea 2012 - 6th position, 25 points behind the Champs and 5 points off CL qualification.
Man utd have broken lots of records in the era barca have dominated it. If Barca weren't so good and we had better personel instead of injuries or suspensions we could have won it a few more times.
