I'd rather have another trophy in the cabinet after this period of relative success inevitably collapses than 1 or two seasons in the group stage of the champions league.I think for the longer term future of the club, top 4 qualification is more important than the FA Cup.
Youri et al won’t hang around if we play Europa again, regardless of an FA cup
I've changed the poll settings so who voted for each option isn't shown. So I won't know who to ban...If anyone says anything other than FA Cup then I think Jeff should ban them
I fear that may all depend on the fitness of EvansI just don't want to see us play so naively in defence again; FA Cup, CL, EL... whatever competition. I don't expect us to win everything (or even anything!) but I do want us to compete. If that brings us the FA Cup, even better.
As a one off game, I'd have to pick the FA Cup
But if its a choice between winning the FA Cup or qualifying for CL? Hmm, much tougher choice.
I'd love the silverware, trophies are what matters to us as fans, and I'd like to see this season crowned with something. And it's the FA Cup and it's about time we won it.
But...
Champions League qualification does a lot more for us. It means players will stay. It allows us to attract better quality players. It gives us the chance to keep fighting for trophies and success. And with the mess of the big clubs right now, a chance for us to establish ourselves at that end of the table.
Tough choice. Its basically success now vs potentially sustained success.
It's the Community Shield.FA cup win. Trophies are permanent. Champions League would be amazing again, but I’d rather have a big shiny FA cup in the cabinet.
Plus then you get to play in the ultimate game - the Charity Shield.
I wish I could be sure of us finishing as high as 5th. There's got to be a drastic change of attitude for us to do that.I chose FA Cup because knowing this lot even with a win at Chelsea in the league they’d nause it up against Utd and/or Spurs and find a way to finish 5th.
