Cornish Steve Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Clearly, neither Crystal Palace nor Norwich view this cup as particularly important. Re relative priorities, here's my list: Finishing first in the Premier League Finishing second in the Premier League Finishing third in the Premier League Finishing fourth in the Premier League Finishing fifth in the Premier League Finishing sixth in the Premier League Finishing seventh in the Premier League Finishing eighth in the Premier League Finishing ninth in the Premier League Finishing tenth in the Premier League Winning the FA Cup Finishing eleventh in the Premier League Finishing twelfth in the Premier League Finishing thirteenth in the Premier League Finishing fourteenth in the Premier League Finishing fifteenth in the Premier League Finishing sixteenth in the Premier League Finishing seventeenth in the Premier League Winning the Caraboa Cup PS - Winning the FA Cup is a bit of a concession since the prize money is less than finishing 19th in the league - but it does carry some prestige. The prestige associated with winning the Caraboa Cup is the cube root of zero. Who wants to waste time playing Bradford or Burton in a semifinal? Sorry - I made my point earlier and had intended to say no more, but since others posted their priority list, I felt I ought to do the same.

Deacs Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I’d take an FA cup win over finishing 3rd in the League and a league cup win over finishing 5th. Obviously winning the league would be my preference. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Indeed what a load of shite! does anyone care about the difference in league positions outside of the top 6? Not really. But a good cup run and even better winning it is the kind of thing that fans bother to turn up for . I want to see us playing a final and lifting a trophy. I’ve seen us finish between 4th and 17th all my life but unfortunately can only remember one trophy and being at that final was a darn sight more exciting than a lot of the league games I’ve seen of which no one will remember a year later. the example of Burton and Bradford is also one off bollocks. Our last league cup semi final we lost to Man City. Didn’t we also lose one to the shite as well? id happily play Burton in the semi final if it got us a final anyway. You insinuating that it’s a Micky mouse cup won by lesser teams which is completely wrong. 15 of the last 30 finalists have been from the big 6 and only 1 has featured none of them. Success is what those teams aspire to on all fronts and so should we Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 City start taking the tournament serious around the quarters. Hopefully they get a tough draw early on and give us a chance. To be able to see my son see us lift a trophy would be unreal. Once we get the taste back for trophies who knows what can happen? If we get a bad draw we get a bad draw but let’s go for it. I want to be excited for a quarter final or a semi. What would people rather? No game and we are out? Lunacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Sheffield United mate, Wednesday are in the Championship. I will take it though, they've been a mixed bag in the lower leagues and will probably have one eye on the race for the playoffs, even though it's still early doors. We could have had a lot worse and even though it's away we should really be winning it comfortably. Apparently Pickford was gutted we didn't draw Sunderland !
