League games.
Surprisingly there are other teams in the league, and United are a better squad.
By that definition then the Premier League is also still a cup competition.
UEFA also disagree with you as they define the Champions League thus:
http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles.../Regulations/01/63/02/44/1630244_DOWNLOAD.pdf
This confirms that the Champions league is preceded by the Qualifiers and that they are not the League Proper.
1.01 The present regulations govern the rights, duties and responsibilities of all
parties participating and involved in the preparation and organisation of the
2011/12 UEFA Champions League including its qualifying phase and the
play-offs (hereinafter the competition).
II Entries – Admission – Integrity of the Competition – Duties
Article 2
Number of clubs per UEFA member association
2.01 UEFA member associations (hereinafter associations) may enter a certain
number of clubs for the competition, in accordance with their position in the
coefficient rankings in Annex Ia, drawn up in accordance with Annex II of
these regulations. However, no association may enter more than four clubs
for the competition. These rankings also determine the stage at which clubs
join the competition.
2.02 Associations are represented on the following basis:
a) One representative: winner of the top domestic league championship.
b) Two representatives: winner and runner-up of the top domestic league
championship.
c) Three representatives: winner, runner-up and third-placed club in the top
domestic league championship.
d) Four representatives: winner, runner-up, third- and fourth-placed clubs in
the top domestic league championship

Can you not take this crap elsewhere? You're using fine print to try and argue that David Moyes has European experience by losing a Champions League qualifier for god's sake! Start a thread called "**** no-one gives a **** about"
Meh Moyes isnt a bad appointment to be honest, ok he hasnt won anything of note ie trophies or such like but the job he has done at Everton hasnt been too bad considering he never had millions to spend like other managers have at their disposal.
What will be interesting is to see that if he spends more at Utd unless Utd have brought him in and are curbing their spending in the future. Next season will be kinda weird not having Fergie around, pointing at his watch when there isnt enough extra time being put on
. I wonder what NickG will be moaning at, seeing as hes always had it in for Fergie despite him winning 20 trophies for Utd :/
But one thing im looking forward to next season is who will be top dog and who will dominate EPL football seeing as Fergie and his midas touch wont be around for Utd. Personally i dont think Mourinho would have been a good fit for Utd, he causes too much friction within the dressing room and is a bit of a loose cannon...so him being at Chelsea along with their trigger happy owner will make for an interesting EPL season next year.

Manchester United Plc is down -3.52%, on opening.
We just beat them at home.
Man Utd and Chelsea are both fair enough, but Arsenal and Liverpool?!
We just beat them at home.
Hopefully it wont, this could very well be the end for Utd and their dominance of EPL football for the past 10 yrs or so.
As an Arsenal supporter, it does please me that Fergie is gone and Moyes may take over as Moyes isnt anywhere close to Fergie in terms of trophies etc. But you just never know, he could end up winning another 10 trophies for you lot.
Ogden would seem to be fairly credible.
I know there's been talk of Moyes replacing Taggart for years but I honestly can't believe it might happen. I just thought the link was because he's Scottish and shouts a lot - I didn't honestly believe that Utd would be this stupid/willing to take such a big gamble.
I don't think Fergie or Wenger would have won anything with our finances at Everton in the last 10+ years. He's done what he's had to with the resources at his disposal.
I hardly think he will carry on in the exact same way.
My god you're bitter. If he's so awful you should be happy.
You'll be wishing Martinez hadn't turn you down when we finish above you again next season.
He's not that bad, blimey. I hope our fans back him unlike certain others.
He could do really well, he needs a chance. If it all goes to **** then surely you should be happy...
