Leicester are much better than Real Madrid.
The level of consistency to win a 38 game campaign is higher than that needed to win a cup competition.
Indeed. You never see Real Madrid winning the Premier League, do you.

I just mean that the league games must always be paramount and we should allow the cup competitions to take care of themselves. The players and the club would probably disagree though mind.

It certainly is. Whether consistency is harder to achieve than brilliance is another question.
and what makes you think they can't win the premier league my friend?
In a way, they're one and the same thing. Leicester City's consistency last season could be described as "brilliant" certainly. Whereas Real Madrid's brilliance failed to win them their own league; clearly they were lacking a little bit the consistency.

I have always personally though the League more important than CL and put more value in (hoping to) win the thing.
Others I know are almost obsessed with European success as it is largely seen as being the pinnacle of club football, certainly players seem to think so. It is also missing from our CV and is one reason why we will continue to be seen or deemed below others.
The FA Cup will no doubt at all take care of itself as you say, until the next round that is.
I think we can over two legs beat Bayern but we will need to be at our very best in both games, especially the very key players. Koscielny for example has been pish the last few matches but gets overlooked because he is Koscielny and is exempt from the massive scrutiny of other players.
I wonder if the manager knows what his best eleven is? I'm not sure it's even about the best eleven players, as about ones that play together as a team, which we have struggled to do for some time. We don't have a functioning midfield, we can't adapt quickly enough between zipping it around a mobile front three, or hoofing it up / whipping it in to the big lad (until desperation sets in at the end). Our first choice keeper is looking ropey. We don't have a proper backup RB and we miss Bellerin. Actually we do in Debuchy but he's never in the squad.
I know that average but lucky teams have won the CL in the past but I can't see this lot doing it. Their record against decent sides in recent years includes very few wins.
Yeah, it's all about clean sheets, innit. All the top teams can score goals.
