Going out of CL will only be a boost to both squad's league campaigns.
True, the european schedule has so far seen both teams suffer all the way down in..... oh wait, top 2.
Euro football hasn't hurt Utd at all...... its the crap football they've been playing, how a team playing so really insanely bad is 2nd, albeit by the skin of their teeth, is just a show of how embarrassing our league has become. Chelsea suck, have a calamity playing in defence, keep starting a striker who can't score, and put Malouda on the pitch, Arsenal, are Arsenal, Liverpool spent eleventy billion on seriously average players and Utd play like utter turd and manage to be 2nd.
Anyone who thought anyone other than City this season was deluding themselves(waits for someone to provide a post of me deluding myself

), City are the only team in the league with a team worthy of being champions, even if they did put it together in a way that makes a bit of a mockery of sport and fair play.
City have a team with an incredible first team and between a very good and a decent player as back up for every position, and then another few more pretty decent players on top.
Utd have a crap midfield, a pathetic back up team for most of their positions. Arsenal, same, Liverpool, meh, Spurs, decent first team, some good and some sucky back up, they don't really have a single "weak" position(in their first team) and that is likely what will get them second this season.
Arsenals first team has dodgy left/right backs, severe fitness/injury issues, dodgy midfield and one striker. Utd just have some utter crap in midfield, crap left back these days, bunch of injury prone players, no one even close to good enough for their midfield pair and no real right back.
Liverpool, not terrible anywhere, just not good enough in most positions and little to no depth.
