Hand made of ham for sure. Always having something to eat when feeling peckish would be a real boon. I imagine an armpit that dispenses sun cream would be a complete faff withif constantly dribbling down the inside of your shirt.
On the other hand your question is a little unfair, having to choose between these two possibilities is not something you would ever come across in real life!

No worries mate - only kidding. To be honest I would always go for A if pushed because the league is a long haul and the odd defeat doesn't matter whereas tonight, should we lose or indeed score draw, that's it, done. As I have said often enough before though if I had to choose winning the Europa league and getting relegated I would definitely do so. To me winning trophies is more important in a sport than making money, I'm just kinda old fashioned in that respect.

Win tonight - 100%.

I would play the best team tonight and rest a couple on Sunday, because we would still be favourites to beat Watford and it gives us fans a once in a lifetime experience, that currently few have had chance to take up. Even if we lost to Watford, we would still be heavily odds on to finish above 18th. A balance between the heart and the head.

The Premiership is our bread and butter, for Burnley to continue our improvement we have to stay in the Prem first and foremost. Europe although a brilliant experience is more a fans wish than the clubs. If we win tonight and we go to Athens I hope you have as much fun as we did in Istanbul. UTC

On balance tonight is more important,as a defeat on Sunday can be rectified the following week,lose tonight and the European adventure shudders too a grinding halt.

I would have thought you could fit a little cap to the sun cream dispensing armpit. If so, I would prefer the armpit.

I would love us to knock out the Pireius outfit and progress into the group stages. The Premier league is the be all and end all, we must not let the europa league get in its way

We now have a large wage bill and must have outgoings approaching 100 million relegation would be a disaster if we didn't bounce straight back. We don't have wealthy benefactors to bank roll the club

Not really and I think you have struggled to grasp the concept of a hypothetical question.

Besides Dyche played the B team on Thursday which almost cost us so no excuse today for the players being tired and hungover from Thursdays match

What part of "hypothetical question" don't people understand? No doubt Dyche and the happy clappers will blame today on the Europa league.

It crosses me that those who would sacrifice our status as a Premier League team, and would rather spend a fortune travelling around far flung parts of Europe will not see tiredness and too many games as an issue.

However, those who would rather stay in the PL and won't be too bothered if we have a Greek tragedy next week, will point to things like "played on Thursday, they didn't" and "extra time 'n' all" as a factor in today's result.

We actually look better because of the extra competitive games. Much sharper than Watford in the first half and zipped passes around well. Didn't look tired at all.

We didn't lose today because of Thursdays game, we lost because we switched off 3 times.

No you really still dont and pointless and stupid better describes your post match posting today rather than this thread youve decided to bump

We lost because of three poor individual errors. Anyone that wants to be out of Europe because they think there aren’t three worse teams than us in this division is a moron. Once in a lifetime opportunity to be in Europe, too many Burnley fans still living on the ‘we’ve come a long way’ and ‘remember orient’ train.

Actually I don't think that this thread had any effect on the result of the game. Do you believe in jinxes and curses? I don't.

Anyway, everyone who went for the Euro win did so with their fingers crossed and while touching wood!

Sean Dyche, post match comment v Watford

"We know where the real part of our season is and it's there... it's the Premier League"

It has to be our priority.

Obviously, we all want to win all of our games but, beating Olympiacos could just scupper our season.

It's the lack of training and preparation for league games where it will hit us.... Last season we had full weeks to prepare for games, now with Thursday games what do we have, Saturday... Possibly Friday afternoon... The attention to detail which got us this far is suffering until we are out of Europe
