David Icke - Son of God Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Has a cup run for a team in deep relegation trouble ever actually helped them? The media do seem to like to talk about how wins in the cup translate into league form but in recent seasons both Wigan and Birmingham have won trophies and then been relegated. If they progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup too they're going to have a crippling amount of fixtures in a very short space of time. More harm than good etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lad on FB was under the impression wins for Man Utd/Spurs tonight guaranteed them European football. They are a special bunch Assuming the Europa League place dropped down to the League Cup runners up (which it doesn't) they are still jumping the gun for a few reasons: 1. It would not drop down to a semi-finalist. 2. They have to get to the final yet. 3. Both Man Utd and Spurs are hardly guaranteed a European place via league standings, at least not as things stand.

Stifler Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Jel Jawdeez being jel marra. Supa jel marra. I'd love to be deep in a relegation battle with an unrealistic chance of winning the League Cup by being in the semi-finals which will drain energy from our players during a time when we have crucial games against our relegation rivals before we go into the final 2-3 months of the season playing mostly team from the top 8.

Kevo Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 'lad at work' today: "Sunderland will be in Europe whilst Newcastle are nowhere near" to which I replied the fact they have to get through a lot more football to be in Europe, and to have a quick look at the table before making the mistake (again) of saying we are nowhere near Europe. I then said he will be hoping for a Newcastle win this weekend,to which he said "No chance, rather get relegated than wish you cunts a win" and I finished it off with fair enough, anything to try and get us away from the big boys eh. Honestly they are mental. Can't wait until they're relegated! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alijmitchell Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I don't think it is really that insane in general to take a relegation if it meant winning a cup, so from that point of view fair point. However, in their position, with the amount they've spent and the wages a lot of their players are on, I'd be worried that relegation might hurt them very very badly. If I knew Newcastle would survive after relegation I'd take a cup win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alijmitchell Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I'd still want them to help us by taking point off our rivals in a relegation battle as well - even if it meant them getting into Europe. I put my own club first thanks, not hatred of another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Even if they win the LC they will still have to play 2 qualifying ties before reaching the group stages. It's better to get into the Europa League via FA Cup/6th place rather than LC winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I predict that this time next year Shola Ameobi will still have played 12 more European matches than Sunderland AFC and will also have scored more European goals than the total scored by anyone ever wearing a Sunderland shirt.
