Totally agree. Football is totally messed up if you'd take Premiership survival over winning the FA cup.
Success for a PL club is defined by finishing in the top 4? What the hell is that about? In 20 years time, will people look back at Everton's 'Moyes glory days' of finishing in the top half of the table consistently on a small budget? Will they f*ck? They will see that Scum won the league god knows how many times.
