So, dunk the witch. She drowns and dies, she's not a witch, she doesn't drown and lives, she IS a witch and therefore you then kill her.

My client exercises the right to "No comment" the entire interview.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Bananas for toes, for me.

 

[torchomatic]

I vote win the FA Cup AND Play-Off Final.

 

[Seymour_East]

Another 22 seconds of my life I won’t get back

 

[Otis]

Another 22 seconds of my life I won’t get back

You're slow. It only took me 8.

Mick,Mark, Taylor another notch on his bedpost?

Pass.

Hobson?

 

[shmmeee]

Say what you like it’s the realistic choice.

Nor sure I’d be bragging about taking 22 seconds to read 9 words my man

Bla bla bla, it would hurt more to lose the playoffs at Wembley than a FA Cup semi, we all get it. But you want the team to achieve as much as possible - reaching the playoff final is a much greater achievement than beating Wolves. And the road to the playoff final itself would be pure magic.

Not just that. It’s two weeks off preseason, it essentially gets us nothing if we don’t go up, and we did it all last year.

This would be only the second FA Cup semi in my life and the first since I started supporting City proper.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Ooooo, brutal, someone couldn’t sleep last night. Stuff of nightmares

I think a trip to Wembley for an FA Cup semi final would be far more enjoyable than a play off.

If would be similar to the Checkatrade. A day on the beer backing the players and the result is secondary.

The play offs last season were tense. It was too meaningful to truly enjoy.

Didn’t we get loads of revenue from prize money and ticket sales?

Loss aversion is the only real reason to say you’d rather miss the playoffs and lose an FA Cup semifinal imo

Certainly be a lot less stressful and just treated like a day out in the sun.

It's a no brainer. Lose the cup semi final and win promotion.

 

[hill83]

So are we saying the FA Cup isn’t more important than promotion now? I can’t keep up.

…

 

[shmmeee]

I think the point my insomniac brain was trying to make is that Playoffs are really only enjoyable IMO if you win them, but the lack of pressure and novelty teams in the FA Cup mean the journey itself is fun.

Because the league is more important

 

[Calista]

Why is the question about losing in the semi-final rather than the FA Cup final itself? We're giving Hill far too many open goals here

 

[shmmeee]

Because the league is more important

Yeah that’s why the question isn’t “which would you rather win”?

 

[hamertime]

I would rather win the FA Cup and not get promoted to the Premier League for 10 years

 

[Ccfcisparks]

We've got more chance of reaching the cup final than getting promoted.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

The title question has changed.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Absolutely spot on. No one says " I remember your lot winning promotion blah blah years ago. "
The cup's burned on your soul forever.

 

[shmmeee]

The title question has changed.

No it hasnt

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

No it hasnt

Yes it has . It's even more stupid now .

 

[shmmeee]

Yes it has . It's even more stupid now .

It really hasn’t

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

It really hasn’t

You're not really giving anyone much choice . Do you want to lose or do you want to lose . So I'm going to up the stakes a bit with a new thread !

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Play at Wembley against say, Man City or Liverpool and get hammered, no thanks.

 

[mark82]

The reality is probably losing to Wolves and still not making the playoffs.

 

[pw362]

On ITV last night they said only 4 of last 20 championship teams in FA cup QF's had gained promotion the same season.

The reality is probably losing to Wolves and still not making the playoffs.
