FA Cup or 5th?

[johnnydawg68]

A variation on a question we've discussed here over the years, substituting 5th for 4th this time.

Before you have a go I'm quite aware we haven't won the cup. If we don't the question is moot.

But would you feel differently if we had played more consistently in the league and finished 5th again, which isn't rare for us, but been eliminated from the cup?

Would you consider the season a disappointment, even if we end up in exactly the same place?

This is more a psychological question than anything. I'm curious. I think I probably would feel better with 5th, but then we don't get trophies for 5th.

A cup win would make be much happier than a 5th place finish.

FA Cup before 4th or 5th for me.

I want a night celebrating a trophy.

Cup win - no comparison whatsoever.

How can anyone equate a fifth place finish with an FA Cup win?

I get that but I guess what I mean is would feel differently about where we are as a club?

Cup win every day of the week and twice on a Sunday... Thousands of Blues have never experienced that joy and we're well overdue a trophy anyway.

I will definitely celebrate winning the cup more than I did when we finished 5th.

Not even a question that, cup all day

Rather have a cup win over coming 2nd. Can't believe this is even a question. Trophies are all that matter.

Finishig 4th shouldn't even be a thing, let alone 5th, obviously a cup win all day long.

Cup of course, unless we do a Wigan and get relegated.
