    Think that's as close to unanswerable as it gets!!

    Plus they're both really unlikely in the extreme... No chance of the mags making a cup final and no chance if us winning the league!!!

    But option 1 just for more bragging rights

    There was no chance of Leicester winning the league but it still happened unless that was a fever dream I had.

    I think I'd rather win the league. I don't really care much about the mags, been spoiled by all those derby wins maybe, but being league champions gives you a great chance to permanently stop being ****. Leicester did their best to disprove that theory but they're doing alright now.

    25 years ago I reckon not one soul would've said that. FA cup was the trophy everyone wanted to win. Maybe that's why I've gone with my vote. Cos I like the way things used to be

    Definitely FA Cup Final for me. Back in 1956 I went to the 6th Round game at SJP and that was an experience I will never forget.

    The FA Cup gets nowhere near to the league title, as much as I enjoyed watching us win it last year.

    I'd happily get humped 6-0 by Liverpool in the FA Cup final if it meant they had to sit and watch us lift our 21st league title.

    The Champions League final would be a closer one, perhaps beating Liverpool in the Champions League final would be a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I'd be tempted with that one.

    Prem for me. A Premier League win would, i would expect, mean that we are the business!!! An FA cup win could be just pure fluke and could still mean we are ****.

    Its like being given the choice of a being given £100K lump sum or £10K every year for the rest of my life. I'd sooner have the security of having the £10K option than risk blowing the fun and enjoyment the £100K would give in such a short amount of time.

    Beat the Mags in this years hypothetical cup final but be relegated

    Or stop up!

    This would be more of a puzzler.......I would be leaning towards stopping up, but then again we would probably go down next season, so a cup final win it is then.

    It's alright. It looks like Burton may be relegated this year as well.
