buzza Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 With the crowd at full tilt we can do this. Milan have serious defensive problems and quite a few injured. WE CAN DO THIS! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about this on a couple of podcasts - would we take an FA Cup win or CL football this year. I think most would take the FA Cup for the first time in a while.

I think most would take the FA Cup for the first time in a while. Strange as we are already in the CL but get the question. For me we were never going to with the CL, so it was all about elevating the club to this level, bring in much needed additional revenue (FFP), and ultimately attract higher level players as we move forwards and grow. Hence, getting to the last 16 or further, in either the CL or Europa will still be a massive outcome for us on all these levels. Yes, it has come at a cost, as we were not ready for it squad wise, but that is also a good lesson for us, and will most likely shape our thinking in terms of tranfers over the next 2 windows. We really need more elite players and the likes of Almiron need a serious upgrade, and more strength in depth. As for winning a cup, definately needed as well - more for the fans, the players and club - to know we can do it. The first one after so long, will always be the hardest and the most important. In terms of this season (as it stands) the League Cup could be an easier run to Wembley and success given who we have alread knocked out, just got to get past Chelsea and see who we get. Sunderland in the FA is a great way to kick that one off! Bring it on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take a cup over the ability to sign a better right winger next season. You can’t predict the future - who knows, perhaps that cup is the only one we win. Or perhaps I get hit by a bus in July. Fuck knows. Give me a trophy any day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) I'm sure the question will have been posed before now but interesting to get peoples thoughts on game day. Its approaching injury time, PSG have lost we are drawing 0-0, as it stands we are in the Europa but both teams could still qualify for CL. Are you throwing everyone forward 'all or nothing' or accepting the way the night has gone and not gamble the Europa status Edited December 13, 2023 by geordie_b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondonewc Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I don't know how you could be over say 15 years old and not think it's an absolute no-brainer to snap want a trophy rather than CL qualification. The day we do finally win that first trophy will truly be the greatest day of my life, 37 years and counting, the idea of qualifying for CL even being close is ludicrous to me.
