Just for fun. Which would you rather…

[Cappy]

Just for fun… if we could suddenly be chasing a league win and an FA cup… would your risk the biscuits? Which would you choose?

Will your put on your sensible shoes, or will give it the good old “fuck it, let’s have it” beauties?

This stems from a conversation with my 16yo lad yesterday when I was saying I hope Burnley beat Boro on Friday. He didn’t understand why I was wanting to give up on the title. He said that, and I quote, “second if the first loser” . Good lad

Over to you, blades.

Edit: yeah, I meant Burnley

 

[jt64]

Promotion >>>>>>>>>>>> title

 

[Stretch]

The title would be nice, of course it would, but we haven't got a hope in hell of catching Burnley.

I don't really care how we do it, we just need to go up.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Where's Option C?

If we don't go up, it sets us back years and we'll have more chance of relegation than promotion in the next few years.

Would Boro and Luton stay the same distance behind United?

Second isn’t the first loser if you also go up haha.

Hardly anyone cares about a title that no team is ever around to defend. We’re so screwed if we don’t go up, so I’ll take it any which way.

MB are you saying go up and then we dont have the wherewithall to stay up anyway.?!

 

[Big Hitter]

If we had been offered the chance of an FA Cup win or a Championship 2nd place at start of season we would have gone for the Cup win.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Don't care about winning the league, just desperate for promotion! Second will do fine.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

The clubs future needs a PL promotion.

 

[YES Blade]

We just need to go up, no one will care about the Championship title if we’re in the Premier League next season.

 

[Brian Deane]

so I’ll take it any which way.

Use plenty of lube.... a friend once told me......

...because we expected to be first in the league ?

I'm very much a sensible shoes man in this sort of a situation. We need 16 points - the quicker we reduce that number by picking up points and others dropping them the better.

Having said that, if we emerge from this weekend still 6 points ahead, I'll be more than happy - if that means both us and Boro have beaten Burnley then so be it.

I think a lot are looking at Friday and thinking we'll win and Boro will drop points - that's far far away from guaranteed. Getting out of this weekend with the same gap to 2nd/3rd would be a very good result for us.

 

[BigBed]

Just gerrus up!

 

[Maidenhead]

If we had been offered the chance of an FA Cup win or a Championship 2nd place at start of season we would have gone for the Cup win.

I'd be happy just to get to the final. (which we won't)

I'm 67 years old and United haven't been to a proper cup final (excluding the county cup and Watney cup) in my life time.

I'd pass on promotion every time if you offered me an F.A. Cup final in it's place.

I've seen lots of promotions and I want to see us in a cup final before I pop my clogs.

 

[DifferentClass]

Don't give a fuck about Burnley.

 

[mattbianco1]

MB are you saying go up and then we dont have the wherewithall to stay up anyway.?!

No, i'm saying if we don't go up this season, we are absolutely screwed!

-Fire sale
-Transfer Embargos
-Points deduction

The only way out of the Championship if we don't go up this season is down to League 1

I know what you mean. But... the future of the entire football club hangs in balance if we don't get promoted

 

[Corkblade]

Option C, concentrate on promotion

 

[JPBrods]

There was a point earlier in the season when I was willing Burnley to drop points because I thought we were good enough for the title. When they came from behind to beat WBA (who looked like they were set to be doing the Boro role around then) I was really fucked off.
I changed my tune pretty quickly when Boro started coming at us and still remain that way. Just get this one over the line.

I'm older than you Pop and I echo those sentiments.

 

[Houso]

FA Cup Win > promotion
Promotion > FA Cup final (though it's close)

 

[Distant Blade 56]

Promotion first in second place and then win the FA Cup to complete the season.
