Posted April 2, 201312 yr Putting all this BB (Benitez Bollocks) to one side for a moment,in the name of science*,if for THIS SEASON only,you had to pick between either the F.A. Cup or Europa League as the trophy of choice.....which one would you pick?. Forget the league for a sec & the fsw,it's about the trophy you would like the club to win the most this year. And as a Chelsea supporter,it's your choice that matters most & not the interim waiter! (feck him). What would you choose?. *okay,its not for science but for a bet.
April 2, 201312 yr FA Cup for me Alan and for a dream come true scenario that bloke that we'll forget about for the purpose of this thread to be sacked the day before I love the FA Cup, its always been a great competition and I'm not going to be hypocritical enough to laugh at the teams playing Thursday night European games and then get all emotional when we happen to be in it. Stil like to win it obviously but getting past Utd and City and keeping our Cup where it belongs would be the choice for me. on a side note...Benitez Out.
April 2, 201312 yr The FA Cup is our cup. Europa League is mickey mouse so i couldnt really care less about winning that, we've probbly got another 20 games before we reach the final of that anyway!
April 2, 201312 yr My initial reaction was that we've never won the Europa League and we've won the FA Cup so many times recently, so I'd love to see us become the first European double winners (to be the reigning champions in both Champions League and Europa League, if only for a week or so), but then I noticed that both Liverpool and Chelsea have seven FA Cup wins and if we were to win it this year we'd overtake Liverpool on the all time winners' list with Benitez as our interim manager. 'ISTOREEE!
April 2, 201312 yr Easily the F.A cup my fav club comp!!! "the man we dare not mention is a c**tbubbletwattyfattyf**ker"
April 2, 201312 yr I say Europa Liga, cause it could bring a rematch vs barca. I love when CFC handles barca like a lil' bitch. Makes the world pure again :D
April 2, 201312 yr Europa League because we'd then be one of only five clubs I believe it is to have won all the major European trophies (taking the Europa League as the UEFA equivalent). No British team has achieved it thus far. Just checked the records and its only Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Ajax who have won all the trophies so far. It would be fantastic to add our name to that list Edited April 2, 201312 yr by geezer
April 2, 201312 yr I'd like both but I'd be lying if I said I'd really enjoy it with the current manager. Guillt 97, Luca 98, and 00 Jose when he was here guss and Carlo all managers I enjoyed winning throphys with I liked all of them but with fsw in charge it won't be the same. I don't want he's name on a throphy with us I don't know what to feel about success this year. Sorry to bring him into the thread.
April 2, 201312 yr A lot of us feel the same, Graham. Thing is we can't do anything about it, so you've just gotta try to enjoy it and hope we get someone competent in the summer.
April 2, 201312 yr Europa for me. Never won it before and quite frankly I'm getting bored of winning the FA Cup every year. Let someone else have a go for once. Especially if its Wigan, that would be nice.
April 2, 201312 yr Definitely the FA Cup. I'd much rather win the best cup in England than a second rate European trophy.
April 2, 201312 yr Europa League Never won it. Chance to win a major European trophy on the bounce. £10M prize money compared to the £2M from FA cup.
April 2, 201312 yr Author "Crikey,I didn't see that coming" .............as the iceberg lookout on the Titanic might have mutterd. I honestly thought that the F.A.cup would win hands down.Just go's to show what I know about football,todays game (& making bets). For me,for this season only,I would choose the Europa League (if we were lucky enough to be able to choose),but of course,I would be still be delighted to win the F.A. cup. I honestly thought I'd be the only one!. Bit of an eye opener as to the reasons why other posters have made their choice & thanks for doing so. I've learned a couple of things from this: 1.Don't make 'anything goes' bets after a liquid lunch. 2.Don't make 'anything goes' bets after a liquid lunch with an embitterd West Ham fan who just simply can't forget (or forgive) about the time I shoved his 1980's Billy Bonds replica home shirt down the front of my underpants. Mind you,to be fair,it was only last week. Guess it's time to front up.
April 3, 201312 yr europa league because a)Would love a few days in Amsterdam b)Would love to beat Spurs in the final c)Would love to win a competition we have never won before
April 3, 201312 yr FA Cup, the commentator on Monday said that we're on a run of equally having the most successful period a club has had in the cup that has even surpassed the 20th century. If we win it this year we'll surpass that record, and we'll then be able to say for future reference (as if our team in the past few years isn't legendary enough ) that we witnessed this run. Can't get enough FA Cups to be honest. The Europa League means shag all, it's just as poor after it's re-branding (which was a waste of money and still is by Platini).
April 3, 201312 yr 1.) FA Cup 2.) Fair Play League 3.) UEFA Cup Hopefully we win them all, but that is my order of preference.
April 3, 201312 yr Both....silverware is silverware,a chance to go equal 4 with villa....be only 7 behind gooners(won`t be long till we go equal or over take them) and put distance between us and spuds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_football_clubs_in_England_by_major_honours_won
April 3, 201312 yr F.A cup by a country mile, don't understand anyone who'd rather win the ropey league
