Sad really.
As a fan I'd rather finish second, it's about looking at the long term. I'd rather we had a long term plan to consistently win trophies than win the cup this year and do a portsmouth<br /><br />-- Mon Mar 18, 2013 10:29 pm --<br /><br />

The difference is that for us champs league qual is the minimum requirement. For arsenal it seems to be the only requirement
FA Cup for me everytime - its the short-termist in me....had enough ofso-called 5 year plans during the dark days under Royle etc.
...besides us winning the FA Cup also implies stopping United winning the Double and you can bet that after last year, that's exactly what they are after.
The FA Semi is really important because it will define our season.

Whoever brought up the scenario of finishing fifth must have had some been smoking crack prior to starting work.
I'll take second and an FA Cup :)

This thread has depressed me.
People would really rather finish a couple of places higher up the league than win a major trophy just so you get entry into another competition that we're highly unlikely to win anyway?
I can remember having a sort of similar conversation sometime in the late 80's and we all agreed we would settle for City winning the FA Cup and going bust the next day.
Now we'd give it up for the sake of moving up a few places in the worlds richest clubs list.

5th get f@@king real cant even believe you'd actually think that. Arsenal are 9 points behind with 8 games to go not a chance they'll catch us especially with the home games we've got coming up. We'll finish 2nd and hopefully win the FA Cup.

The goalposts have shifted considerably though, especially following the introduction of the FFP regs. Just one season out of the tedious Champions League at this point in our development could have disastrous consequences on our longer-term ability to compete at the top of the league because it would blow a huge hole in our finances.tidyman said:This thread has depressed me.

There'd be no new star signings in the summer, and existing stars would almost certainly have to be sold in order to balance things up. The club would be poorer off in terms of the quality of the team and also poorer off in terms of being able to invest in getting us back to the top.
Before FFP, I'd go for the Cup and 5th place every time, but we simply have to finish in the top 4 this year. Once we're more established, a one-year blip would be manageable, but it would be disastrous at this point.

Agreed.
The "What would you prefer" threads are completely stupid.
That's why I rarely, if ever participate in them.
What would you prefer ? A forum without " what would you prefer" threads, or do you prefer the forum with "what would you prefer" threads ? Vote now.
