League or Cup
« 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.

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.

I'd go for the Carling Cup game over one League victory but not two.

Two league wins should do the usual trick of getting us into Europe and sending the Rags down.

To be winning 2 games over 1, the league is a must surely?

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.

Tell the footballing Gods we will take the 3 points today, then tomorrow become a footballing atheist and renege on the deal.
