MPH Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 Well we could win the FA cup and end up like Coventry. Won't do us much good then. 25 years on and look what's happened to them. Sure you can't take it away from them but I can't imagine it means much to them anymore. Staying in the prem gives the chance of playing better quality footbalk not just for me but for future generations and besides, the longer we are in the prem, the higher our chances are of winning the FA cup anyway. It's a no Brainer for me...
AyewJoking Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 coventry won it when the competition was still special. winning it now means little cos most teams arent interested.
Crazy Kop Corner Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 An FA Cup win would stay in the memory and the history books forever so there's really no contest. If NP starts playing his strongest team rather than running the side like an U13 team then we may have a chance.

Staying in the prem gives the chance of playing better quality footbalk not just for me but for future generations and besides, the longer we are in the prem, the higher our chances are of winning the FA cup anyway. It's a no Brainer for me... I'm inclined to agree. In terms of purely selfish motivations, I think I get more week to week out of being in the top flight than Coventry fans do talking about when they won the FA Cup. I'm really enjoying being back in the Prem - looking at the big teams line-ups, media stories and results and them having some relevance to us as City fans. I wouldn't swap that for an amazing cup run, a trip to Wembley and an uncomfortable Charity shield opener where we get smashed by Chelsea and then go back to playing against Huddersfield and Rotherham in the Championship. From the standpoint of a football 'purist', I can see why the cup would be far and away a no brainer but I'm enjoying this ride at the moment and don't wish to get off just yet.
yorkie1999 Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 FA cup and back to the championship, the premiership is so overrated as a spectacle. My team have been turned into memories on skyplus.
Crinklyfox Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 It's about achievements for me. IMO the crowning glories of the MON years were the three League Cup finals and especially the two wins. So the FA Cup please.
Callabinho Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 FA cup means jack now, much rather have 20 years of mid table PL finished, than win the FA cup and go down.
Soup Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 FA cup means jack now, much rather have 20 years of mid table PL finished, than win the FA cup and go down.FA cup means jack to some mate but not to all.Your scenario sounds like being in a coma to be honest.
1993fox Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 Stay in the prem. Build the squad to the point we can win the FA Cup AND maintain our place in the top division
suffolk fox Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 Hell of a lot more money by staying in the premier league.
step Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 Has tobe the FA cup Everyone will remember an FA cup win.
Nick Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 Proper fans will always choose FA Cup And that's you is it Proper? This is a proper fan it blows hot air too:
Guest MattP Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 FA Cup all day long. Something that will live forever and it's a huge shame we've never won it. We'll probably always be a yoyo club in reality, trophies live forever.
Guest MattP Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 FA cup means jack now, much rather have 20 years of mid table PL finished, than win the FA cup and go down. 20 years of being mid table? I can't think of anything more boring. I'd probably lose interest in the sport of we did that.
Fox92 Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 FA Cup. Shame we haven't won it, and I want to see the day where Leicester City win the competition.
Leicester_Numan Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 FA cup win then another record breaking promotion season. Rinse and repeat for the next 10 years and we'll have an impressive looking club history
ousefox Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 As somebody that has only seen us in the Prem properly for one year previous to this, I would have to stay up. Ask me in 3/4 years of Prem football and I would definitely say FA Cup
Raj Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 FA cup. cant call yourself big until you have this bad boy!!!
Monsell1976 Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 As a supporter, I say cup, but for the sake of the club, stay in the premier league, sad statement, but the reality of modern football, is fa cup is probaly one of the biggest cups in the world, but sadly a lot of fans have lost interest, and the cups are not as important as they used to be. Most bigger clubs show that lack of interest, fielding manly reserves till the latter stages.
shade Posted 25 October 2014 Posted 25 October 2014 win the best cup in the world or cling on at bottom of the cesspit league? no brainer.
