Good point, well made. Truth is, you're only as old as the pain in your knees and back.
I can't decide if I want them to qualify for the Europa.
On the one hand it may buy Moyes a bit more time. "At least we got something from the season." On the other hand, it isn't as funny.
Spurs' results after playing in the Europa have tended to be pretty bad, something like 6/7 defeats in games directly after, not least having to play mostly Sundays in the first place. Though you'd think United would cope better than Spurs. Then again... Moyes.
