which cup would you prefer to win? (Poll)

[Abu Dhabi]

Europa League for me. It's a far more prestigious competition when viewed from the continent, which is what we need to do to inverse our worldwide clout. Nit many teams win a Euro competition. We'll then be in the Super cup in Monaco next season also.

I also think we're more likely to win Europa over FA due to the two legged format. Hopefully over two legs our class will out, as long as Mancini starts playing the first team. In fact I'd settle for 4th and Europa glory over a good shot at the league.

Some excellent teams left in the competition but the way we can eek out a nil nil virtually anywhere should stand us in good stead. I think Mancini will also be aware that the only gap on his CV is European success, the reason he was sacked from Inter.

I very much have to disagree with that. FA Cup is oldest football competition and certainly seen as more prestigious among proper football supporters around the world.

I very much have to disagree with that. I'll even go an extra mile towards reality and say bollocks.
FA cup is older than the CL too but it doesn't mean it's more prestigious. On a global scale no one gives a fuck about the FA cup.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Europa as 2 years ago I had dreams of going into CL as holders of the UEFA cup and this is the real deal.

[King Kev]

That's an easy one.

The FA Cup all day long. It's the greatest knock-out competition in the world and seeing us win it at Wembley might just make my head explode!

[Moonchesteri]

Are you kidding me?
The FA Cup for me, without a contest.

Ffs I'm sure about 90% of football fans don't even know what the real name of the Europa League as they just keep talking about UEFA Cup if it is mentioned for some strange reason. Tells its own story really.

I do want a trip to Dublin too though!

[BlueinBosnia]

I voted for the Europa League as that would heighten our profile in Europe, with access to the Super Cup and a chance to test ourselves against one of the true elite - does winning this then give access to the World Club Championship?

Nope, it's Champs' League winners, regardless of the Super Cup result.

FA Cup for me, as I care far more about supporting City than I do about City's 'global dominance'. The FA Cup is what I grew up with, and what I dreamed about us winning as a kid.

[Kladze]

Europa for me - the FA cup is, sadly, fast becoming a devalued competition.

Wow. All I can say is WOW. Well we have to agree to disagree then. Europa League aka UEFA Cup aka Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is fucking mickey mouse competition compared to FA Cup. And what fucking "reality" are you talking about? I can assure you that if you asked any random football supporter, they'd tell you FA Cup, if they only looked at the footballing reasons. Like BiB said there, from personal point of view I don't give two shits about "Global dominance". I do understand that's why Sheik bought the Club and therefore it's important for the Club. But for me, I don't care whether we are the most known Club in the World or not. It's all good for me either way.

I see where you are coming from but imo noby gives a fuck about Europa Lge either! The only ones who care are those who are in it!

I have to agree with Abu Dhabi. Here in the rag heartlands, it is true that no-one gives a monkey's about the FA Cup, even football fans who actually know something about football (yes, there are some). The third round of the FA Cup was not even on any Japanese TV channel at all, live or highlights. Maybe later rounds will be but I doubt it. None of it was on last year, not event the final. The Europa on the other hand has got six games from each round on live.

A domestic trophy or a European one? A very tough choice but I'd take the Europa, thanks.

Perhaps it's European thing with few generations of following English football that makes people appreciate FA Cup more. Honestly, I'm surprised to learn that the competition isn't even on in early rounds outside Europe.

I still stand by my opinion though.

[Beefymcfc]

Dublin or Wembley, I'm easy.

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Dublin or Wembley, I'm easy.

Well yeah, of course. The question was though that if you'd have to choose. Which is obviously bit ridiculous as we could go and win both!

[DoomMerchant]

I'm with the English on this one...it's the FA Cup pissing all over the Waffa League. This doesn't even seem like a tough one.

cheers

[The Man In Blue]

FA Cup no contest. Would mean so much.

[Ted Hughes]

FA Cup.

Show all those spoiled, plastic, fuckers, who've been yawning their way through Wembley finals like they're testimonial games, how proper fans do it.

[Wooders]

I still stand by my opinion though.

If you follow an english team then it stands to reason you would care about the FA cup - your average Sevilla fan won't give a monkeys - Europa on the other hand....

I have to echo these sentiments - Having lived and worked in many places around the world I would have to say the Europa Cup is far far more prestigious than the F.A cup although both get ESPN coverage...the Europa still wins hands down on the face of football fans....people would rather see a major team from Italy or Spain play a Major team from England - it kind of beats Aston Villa v Arsenal.

I think it is important we win in Europe before any local competition...good for the profile..F.A. cups can come up again but hopefully the Europa wont !!

Anyway - lets hope we are in both finals.

[Murph]

Being selfish Europa League, but only coz I had £50 on us to win it at 12/1 b4 it started.

[john68]

Carlos Tevez wipes his hands on his shirt, you breathe in, he reaches forward to take the trophy, you breathe in deeper. He turns towards the massed hoards of City fans. the TV cameras go close up. The lungs are full to the brim. He lifts it into full view and as one voice every City fan, whether in the ground, at home, in the pub .... screams "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

With respect to your original question mate...I really don't give a fucl. Football and City at that moment are pure emotion and I simply am unable to choose. Sorry

[Sister of fu]

I'm an old football romantic so definitely the FA Cup for me
