    Don't remember the Full Members Cup Final with any fondness to be honest.
    Especially the day at Wembley and awful game, I got a splitting headache and was so grateful to Hendry fir scoring for and not allowing the game to go into extra time!

    There is always magic of the FA Cup chance of tussling with minnows as we have done last couple of seasons, the possibility of playing a Prem team and winning each game is more lucrative financially.

    It's a bit like asking. Would you like a cup of tea or dog shit sandwich?
    Dog shit sandwich all day long.

    Don't like tea.

    FA Cup
    Seen some outstanding games 

    Palace away

    QPR at home 

    Portsmouth away

    Ipswich away

    But my favorite was Blackburn away, keeping Shearer quite for two games and beating a club from top division.

    We beat Jose Mourinho’s unbeatable Chelsea team in the League Cup!

    A better question would be:

    Would you rather win the FA Cup or qualify for The Champions League?

    I’d rather win the FA Cup.

    Anyway,  at the moment we can't even get out of division 3 ffs.

    Do we always do better in the league cup?
    Think we're one of the worst teams in the history of the League Cup
    Going back many years, I can only think of Man Utd and Wycombe (and that must be 15 years or so ago) games where we actually got to a decent round.

    Fans would rather win the FA Cup, but i think club owners would rather qualify for the CL.

    This season just getting into the league phase earns each club 15.7m, and each win gets you 1.8m. And that's before you factor in gate receipts and tv money.

    FA Cup for the prize money.  Would take a Europa League Cup as well.

    I'll take anything right now 😂

    Given a choice, FA Cup of course.  I was 15 last time we won it in 1991.  I'm now 18 months away from turning bloody 50!

    The FA Cup. 

    But, if we're knocked out of the FA Cup, then my choice would be, "the FA Cup, next season".
