Depends on what you rate higher out of europa league or league cup, both about the same i reckon, slightly lesser than the champs league and fa cup respectively..but us finishing way higher in the league would sway it to us having the better season.

There’s no definitive answer but I reckon most people are taking the Europa over the League Cup. Give me the FA cup over either.

You seem to be forgetting you do actually have to qualify for the Europa League, where's the Mickey Mouse cup you don't even join it until the second round. Even the Charity Shield is technically more difficult than the MMC to enter. The cup you won is the lowest of the lowest at your level, but it's still a pot...better than none, that's the only true comparison and how long did you take to get it, remind me?

We had to beat Forest, Brentford, Chelsea, Arsenal twice and Liverpool to win it..that's far harder than what whoever wins the Europa this season will have faced, that isn't even bias.

Using your qualifying logic then the league cup is better than the fa cup because only the top 4 leagues qualify...whereas non league teams can get in the fa cup.

You miss the point, you didn't have to qualify for the league cup you got an automatic bye to the second round, for no other reason than your a prem team. Your name just went straight in the pot, it's the same level trophy my pub team enters at round 1. The FA Cup like it's lesser brother that you won is famous for the nostalgia attached to it and no other reason.

As I said above the FA Cup is famous for it's nostalgia not for any ability that Newcastle might have to offer....in fact none, because when did you last win it?
 
All I'd be interested in is the fact you won silverware, end of, trying to compare yourself to the mighty Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester United is just ridiculous, you've been a tuppence ha'penny club for the last 70 years ffs....and finally you won something...I'll say it again, the Mickey Mouse Cup, get real.

We've won it 6 times.

Anyway you can't have it both ways, league cup is better using your logic.

Remind me, how old were you on these six occassions of winning the FA Cup?....actually how old were your parents on winning those six times?...in your own time bruv.

If you use my logic it would make you as mad as me, you're not, you're just a dick.
 
Ffs if these lunatics are like this over the league cup, **** knows what they'd be like in the Champions League, hopefully Forest can fix this for us, otherwise Toon is going to take a lot of battering next season.

Surely that’s irrelevant to which is the better to win. You could have beaten a load of lower league teams and it wouldn’t mean any less.

Theoretically a non league team can win the FA Cup..they can't win the league cup, so if we are on about qualifying for competitions making them better then league cup is better as you have to be in the top 4 leagues to qualify for it.

Anyway i'm leaving it at that as i get the feeling brb isn't happy with me and i don't want to get banned again <laugh>

Goodnight to one and all.

And yes, your dad's one does count. <ok>

I'd say European competitions are more prestigeous than domestic ones personally. I'd take the Europa over the FA cup and I think - I'm sure someone knows the answer to this - the money you get for it and the acclaim as a club is higher. I've no idea who won the domestic cups of other countries in the last decade but know a few of the Europa/Uefa Cup winners.

As for League Cup or Europa League, they're clearly smaller trophies (I'd still say a European one is bigger than a domestic one even though I think that's easier to win if you look at the actual teams you have to beat) but from a fan point of view I currently don't really care. We won a trophy. I just can't see myself ever being complacent about whether it was big enough.
 
I'm back lads sorry..

Also using the qualifying logic..charity shield is better than the champions league as you have to have either won the league or the fa cup to qualify for it..you only have to finish 4th (5th this season) to qualify for the champs league.
