Win the FA Cup and get Europa or CL no trophy
« on: April 02, 2025, 09:55:48 PM »
What do you think?

As things stand right now, we can win the FA Cup and qualify for Europa League, but we finish outside European spots in the league.

Or...

We lose the SF and QF, but finish 5th in the league?

What are you taking?

My order of preference;

1. Win the Champions League
2. Win the FA Cup
3. Qualify for the Champions League via the league
4. Qualify for the Europa League via the league
5. Qualify for the Conference League via the league

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.

Surely 1. should be win both? 🙂

Finishing 4th, winning the FAC and CL. Time to take everything and stop thinking that at best it's either or.

I want a trophy.

BUT we need the income that further Champions League qualification brings, this helps with PSR and probably means that we don’t have to sell players to comply.

Such is modern football

FA Cup option 1000000000%.

Let's have a massive trophy winning parade and then on the booze for all of May bank holiday week.

You don't get that for finishing 5th.

I want to see us win the cup while I walk this earth. Now, not next year.
