I would also quite like Arsenal to beat PSG

Jesus fucking Christ.

Moderators, please?

Yeah that is completely unacceptable.
But why? I really don't get this mad hatred for Arsenal. If any of the teams/ money-laundering exercises that Sky have wanked over for 35 years have to win stuff instead of us, they would be my least worst choice.

Not just Arsenal, I don't think I'd support any other English team in the CL final even if they were playing a Hitler invitational XI.

Thankfully, Chelsea were knocked out in the last sixteen.

Europa League is clearly bigger than the FA Cup as the winners qualify for the Champions League rather than the Europa League.

Conference League is clearly bigger than the League Cup as the winners qualify for the Europa League rather than the Conference League.

It’s a subjective list
Obviously everybody has their own view no rights and wrongs

It isn't really subjective according to who makes the rules, though.

If we finish 10th next season and win the FA Cup while Bournemouth finish 15th and win the Europa League, we don't get to say "we should be in the Champions League ahead of Bournemouth because some people think the FA Cup is more prestigious".

The Europa League is more prestigious than the FA Cup because it is recognised as such by the relevant authorities. Likewise the Conference League/League Cup.

John didn't put them in order of most financially valuable to the club though so it's a subjective list of personal preference.

Torreense lost their promotion playoff, so they'll be in the Europa League and Portuguese Division Two.
