    I know most people will probably say FA Cup, but Champions League for me. It would put us right back in the spotlight on the European stage, and hearing the CL music in St James' Park again would be incredible.

    I think cups are overrated tbh. Just look at Birmingham. They won the Carling Cup, but who gives a crap now? Few weeks of buzz then everyone forgets.

    Not so keen on the third option, seem as though the first will result in the third...

    However I can't really chose between them, both would be amazing!

    Champions league, would love to see a huge team like barca playing at SJP. Also it might mean more investment from the board :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Champions league. Just imagine the thrill of Barcelona lining up in a floodlit St James Park again. The music is enough to give me goosebumps alone. I want those nights again, lining up against the best and pulling off a few shocks on the way.

    Also the money/players we get from getting into the champions league could push us towards winning a trophy.

    Champions League, probably because I've never been to a Champions League game in my life.
    Saying that, I've never been to Wembley either...

    I guess if we're good enough to get to Wembley and win, we're good enough to qualify for the Champions league as well! <ok>

    Think we should ease up a little on the rest of the EPL for the rest of the season .. wouldn't want to accidentally hit the CL this year and peak to early <party>

    FA cup.

    I watched us play in the CL and UEFA cup loads and it would be amazing to have the likes of Inter or Barca at SJP again but that can wait for now if we get a trophy. It's been far too long man.

    Agree. It would make us an even more attractive club to bigger talents too, bringing in better players that help us fight for top 4 every season.

    FA Cup. Break that hoodoo about not winning anything. We aren't ready for champions league anyway. Leave that for next season ;)

    Champions League for me. I remember going to a few games when Sir Bobby was in charge, most notably the Juventus game when Andy Griffin scored. Great night and a great atmosphere.

    Oh, how i miss those nights under the floodlights with my bottle of coke and bag of crisps.

    Hopefully those times will be back soon.

    FA cup.

    It's been too long without silverware.

    That gets us into Europe anyways (Europa league) and allows us to build, our squad isn't ready for CL + EPL campaign.

    The money from the Champions League could provide us with the means to win future FA Cups. That said, I'd be delighted with either <ok>

    Would be Champions League qualification for me. Just imagine Shola scoring at the Nou Camp... again.

    If we make the Champions League and play Shola in any of the games, I may actually weep.

    FA cup, we need far more squad depth and quality to do anything in the CL.

    Not won anything of note in my lifetime, so I can wait a bit longer. Champions League for me.

    Champo league every season then crash out at an early stage so we can focus on finishing in the top 4 again and get the money for qualifying.

    Mike Ashleys business plan.
