Title: League or Cup
Post by: VillaZogmariner on October 31, 2010, 01:51:10 AM: If the footballing Gods said that they will grant us one guaranteed set of results against the Blues this season what would you go for - the guaranteed 6 points, but take our chances in the cup. Or the cup game and take our chances in the league?

Personally I'd go for the cup game.

League and cup. Losing is not an option.
+1
I'm taking no options - winning is the only option every single time, it's no ''would you rather''. I love beating those cretins all the time.

Post by: SaluteIanTaylor on October 31, 2010, 09:03:37 AM: To be winning 2 games over 1, the league is a must surely?

Post by: olaftab on October 31, 2010, 09:31:50 AM: I would rather lose today and win the Cup game and not the other way round. League game points are recoverable defeat in a cup game is not.

Post by: rbcuk on October 31, 2010, 09:39:37 AM: All 3 ;)
Title: Re: League or Cup
Post by: Chipsticks on October 31, 2010, 09:59:13 AM: Personally, I'd take the league games.

Mostly because it's 2 guarenteed wins over the knuckledraggers as opposed to 1.

Post by: PaulWinch again on October 31, 2010, 11:04:18 AM: I can't accept defeat against them, so all 3!

Post by: olaftab on October 31, 2010, 05:08:40 PM: It's a little bit easier today. By not winning we have gauranteed ourselves a win in the cup match. Don't question why ...it's just my gut feel that we can't keep beating them...even a blind squirrel ...

Post by: The Situation on October 31, 2010, 05:58:27 PM: I suppose with have to give them their '1 point joy' every once in a while.

Its too much fun beating them at the sty, we let them have their victory our draw today.

Post by: darren woolley on October 31, 2010, 06:12:06 PM: I would want the cup because that is a one off game and we are just two games from Wembley.

Post by: *shellac* on November 01, 2010, 06:43:10 AM: Since now we managed only a draw at home:

League Cup - I will say, draw 3-3 & then eliminate them 6-5 on penalties.

Premier League - win, any scoreline will do.
