I assume you're right re Europa ties. If our teams aren't better, why aren't they, given the money available in the PL compared to La Liga (top teams excluded)?
High is a relative level. I agree with you that it's the top 6 teams and then the rest. 7th is only reasonably close to 6th because Arsenal are having a poor season, but their quality is still there. So of course the rest of us are not like the top teams in other European leagues, but I'd be...
But Arsenal were away to us and had Milan to look forward to a few days after us.
Either way, we're much longer odds to beat Utd than we were to beat Arsenal.
Yes for Arsenal, not so for Man U. We're not playing them in the league at the weekend, just the cup, and they'll want to put right what went wrong today.
