I can't believe I'm saying this but given the choice ill  say the cup. We still have enough points to play for after Tuesday night. I think this is the  best chance of getting to Wembley we've had for a very long time.

Since Bradford, in fact.

Depends if we actually went on to win the cup. If we did, then it's the cup for me. I'm an old bunny, trust me, when you're old and grey, you wont be reminiscing about when you took 3 points off the Baggies 30 years ago. But winning the FA Cup, will come up every time. It's what the game is all about. Or should be.

I want us to beat them twice. If I had to choose just one, I'd (sadly) go for the 3 points at the moment.

Unfortunately we aren't good enough to beat them even once. A non defeat would be a step in the right direction on Tuesday.

We are 8th weakest side left in the cup so it would be a miricle if we won it from here. We are that bad right now.

Relegation would massively taint a cup win imo.

No problem 17th and cup win.

Don't see us winning either game tbh.

Cup.

A draw on Tuesday. A defeat Tuesday and we've had it as far as the league goes.

The Cup. This is the best chance we'll get to win it for years.
If we go down we'll come back to the Prem long before we get a sniff of silverware again.

We'd also still have 10 games remaining to make a difference in the league.

Would I rather win the FA Cup and go down, or finish 17th this season? Get the brasso out, because I'd rather have the cup.

One of Arsenal and Utd (the two favourites) go out this round. In the semi's our biggest potential worry would be Liverpool, and we've got a fair record against them in recent years. We've been marginally better in the cup than the league too, without quite so much pressure. Form doesn't always count in the cup.
Someone will play Bradford or Reading in the Semi. What odds on us being given the chance for revenge against Bradford?

Cup! Cup! Cup!

League. Relegation isn't like it was the last time we went down - a year in the second tier now, especially with the new TV money coming in, could set you two decades behind the Premier League teams.

Parachute payments for the win?

Of course if we win the league match . I think everyone  will step up their levels with the confidence and probably then win the cup game

Just need a lucky goal even off bentekes ass

All my life, I've wanted us to win the FA Cup.

But this is the quarter final and winning it still means a possible semi with Man U, Liverpool or Arsenal. Imagine a humbling at Wembley, when we've got all this relegation nonsense going on?

So, I'll say league.

We are however, going to win both matches.

Cup obviously. Lose that and we're out. If we lose the other it's not ideal but we've other games to come.
