A cup is a cup even a little one is better than nothing, but its not going to be at the top of my wish list.
Like the League cup its importance has diminished with the growth of the CL. Now we have 4 teams that qualify for the CL, so its no longer seen as a "major" achievement to qualify for the UEFA/Europa cup or even to win it.
As I said before its shiny and we are in it so we may as well win it. Which is more or less how I feel about it. A good day out for the fans and we finally get a trophy...... its not all bad (as long as we dont get knocked out)
TBH I don't think we can be too choosy what cups we win when we have won nothing for three years.
yep agree - i dont think anyone is wanting us to win it over still being in the CL . I think every single person would rather still be in the CL but we are out now and we have to do a bit of damage limitation - winning fa cup/europa cup would help .
I think my order of importance now would be FA CUP, Top Four and then the Europa cup.
I know thats probably different than our owners etc due to the money implications , but I would like a cup.
