Either Or...
« on: January 22, 2013, 04:19:11 PM »
Only one choice. Want to know if people think the same as me.

Aware that a few will miss the chance to vote on this before tonight's game.

I know you want to win the cup and stay up, but it's not an option, sorry.

Cheers

Knocked out. We've already won the bloody thing too many times.

Going down would actually have consequences.

Winning a cup and then getting relegated is what Small heath do.

Survival for me.

Really tough choice.

As a supporter I want to see us win trophies and for my Son's sake I want nothing more than to be at Wembley with him when the Villa captain lifts a piece of silverware.

However for the longevity and security of the club I have voted to get knocked out the cup and stay up

I thought this might crop up at some point. As much as I want us to win the cup (long overdue of course), our survival in this crucial year is paramount. It really worried me at the weekend when N'Zog was subbed with possibly one eye on tonight.
I still think we will win this game easily, but we should never ever put it above survival

Cup. 16th means fuck all on the honours list.

However I will repeat what i've said for a while, we're going to win the cup and stay up.

Same here.

It is a trophy FFS.

Records that say we did a Wigan and scraped survival, or won the league cup in 2013? I know what I would prefer. We will come back up if we go down, I am certain of that, we don't get to cup finals every season.

Indeed. Not exactly exciting to imagine the day i'm telling my (mythical) grandkids about the year we lost to Bradford in a semi-final and finished 16th.

The relegation will sit on our record just and much as a cup win would.

With the money coming into it next season, I'd rather stay up and try and use that to win a few more trophies in the next few that. If we win but go down, it could be the last sight of a trophy we have for a number of years.

It won't be any worse trophy wise than the last 16 years of being in the top flight and winning fuck all.
