Let’s just hope we continue our fine form for the remainder of the season, and why shouldn’t we with the squad looking fit and fresh and players coming into form at the perfect time.

If that happens, this will potentially be the best season we’ve had in 40 odd years.

Massively exciting times.

The fact these two things are genuine possibilities at the moment too is very exciting. It's a hypothetical question, but both options are genuinely on the table for us.

If I could choose between the trophies I'd choose the European Cup, but we have to win a trophy so clearly winning the FA Cup is better than finishing fifth and winning sod all.

Agreed.

I think I might die of happiness if we won the European Cup again. Imagine beating RM and Barcelona on the way. Even beating Arse in the semi-final would be tremendous fun (while nowhere near as epic).

Whilst I'm loathe to agree, I do. The European Cup is just the best trophy there is to win.

The FA Cup is the one I've always wanted though, and if we won it, I'm sure I'd die and contented man. Full house in my lifetime thank you very much.

FA Cup for me I would rather have silverware than finishing in the CL places.

That seems a little odd, given the fuss you've been making about getting tickets for the cup games.

I am literally obsessed with winning the FA Cup, but I wouldn't mind the CL to be honest! Although in all honesty I want to win them both and finish fourth. Greedy I know, but we've been on starvation rations for 40 years!

FA Cup trumps everything for me.
No need to mention Trump, please.

He’s only 18 so both things are understandable.

Wow! This Champions League malarkey really does bring new challenges, doesn't it? I had no idea we had to choose.
I think I have to go for the round badge.
