One win over Spurs, which?

What would you rather have, 3 points or next round?

League every time.

Any chance of elaborating, would'nt want this to turn into a meaningless thread now.

Don't boss me about! It's obvious innit, 3 points in the league are far more important than getting into the next round of the cup. League is always and always will be the priority.

Calm down. I'm just trying to set a precedent of why people would prefer one other t'other. It's not always as cut and dry as that.

Cup (on this occasion) - see my opinion in all its glory in t'other thread.

We can make up league points and they'll do their christmas decoration impression and start coming down in January..

Historically, Norm, you have scalded Allardyce for selecting a fringe/youth-11 for the Cup games. This seems to indicate that you would prefer a better run in the Cup via more sensible selection.

In conclusion I would say thatyou should vote for the Cup. Whether you could stand the wrath of Billy, I leave that to you........

I have voted for League as those 3 points kept us above the Scum

It would be good to knock them out of the cup, but it's only the Carling, getting the the FA final would be better

yeah - like we are spoilt for choice when it comes to Trophies.

Bottome line - the cup, any cup, is our best way into Europe - especially if we meet one of the top three in a cup final.

In the next round there are five all-Premiership games resulting in 5 premiership teams being eliminated in this round alone. Therefore, should we beat Spurs tomorrow and get through to the next round, this will present our best chance of winning a cup and getting into Europe than ever before..........

Sheesh.........

i just hope we put out a half decent team....i know its only the 3rd round so it's not likely, but we dont usually have such a big team this early so we should. Spurs are usually one of people's favourites for the CC so if we could get rid of them twud be a bonus. A cup run would be nice, and now i have a job i could afford to go to the matches LOL
