Which was more important to you? FA Cup or Premier League?

Loved winning the FA Cup, but the league was much better. Beat the rags twice, played over a much longer period, and just the way we did it.
 
FA Cup was a great day - actually two great days - as a first trophy was very important.

But winning the League was 8 great months (and 2 great minutes) out of a whole nine month period - many fabulous days and games - every minute of every one important - but I will take those last two minutes on 13th May to my grave
 
Well winning the FA Cup ended our drought of trophies and was the first trophy I have ever seen us win despite being a fan since being a little kid and now being 23. So yeah that obviously was special. Personally though I did have to work that day although I did manage to see the last half an hour of the match in my break and to hear the plastic rags going "no way, City have won a trophy" was just bizarre but incredible, had to end up leaving the room as I thought I would cry with happiness but managed to pull myself together. Then later on I went to the pub after work and celebrated like mad but had work the next day again and had a horrific hangover. The parade was amazing though, actually exeriencing it for the first time, the streets of Manchester just packed and Blues everywhere celebrating.

The Premier League, well when we won the FA Cup I know myself and a lot of other Blues said to win the Premier League would be the one, the FA Cup was amazing and to just win it was incredible but if I could dream I would love for us to be the Champions of England. So for that to happen and the way it did was just euphoria. The whole season, the 6-1, the Kompany goal in the derby, the comeback against Chelsea, the 8 point comeback, losing to QPR only for that absolutely unbelievable Mancini time comeback whilst the rags (and the fact that it was them too, the ones who have taunted us and just been general assholes for years, our local rivals) thought they'd won it and some had already started celebrating and that Aguero goal, the commentary (Balotelliiiii....Agueeeeerrrrroooooooooo...*sound of ball hitting the back of the net)...ooooooooo) Just wow. On a personal note too I had managed to sneak the day off for this one, so the fact that I had and was pacing around the house as we were losing 2-1 and it was looking like it was all over I just kept blaming myself. I thought my day off would just finish with me sat in my room watching sitcoms on boxsets trying to cheer myself up and forget about it and as I am off on Mondays and Tuesdays I thought I'd just be trapesing around feeling sorry for myself. Instead it turned into a three day celebration, ended up in the pub that night, watching Match of the Day and celebrating with the Blue side of Manchester, Blue shots and lots of alcohol, Blues just taking over the roads and sticking flags in picnic tables outside of pubs, like we were taking over the streets. Then Monday, when we did take over the streets, the parade, I didn't even have a hangover as I felt so amazing, the parade, went to it with my family and then met up with my mates later for more drinks, ended up winning the pub quiz too, free beer! Then Tuesday, just rewatching it all again until Wednesday when I was back in work and the hangover of a three day celebration hit me but just winding up those rags who were on my case all season was enough to keep me occupied. The fact I burst into tears as Aguero scored kinda makes me think this meant more to me too, as I could control my emotions with the FA Cup but with this one as soon as I saw and heard that it had actually gone in I just broke down in tears.

So for me yeah, the Premier League Title pips the FA Cup, both for personal reasons and also just due to how we won it, who we were up against to win it and well it was just the feeling of a whole season falling into place, a season a lot of us had thought could have been over at various points with our Typical City tag but this time we fought against it and somehow managed to shake free from it. The FA Cup was very important and was amazing but the way in which the League was won and the whole Champions of England title just makes it that bit more special. FA Cup is the best team on the day when you are up against an opponent, Premier League is a long fought battle over a season. I also have Aguero's goal and the celebrations on a quick video on my iPod just to stick on every time I am bored or in a bad mood and so far I am not bored of it, don't think I ever will be and it always cheers me up no matter how bad my day is going.

FA Cup for me... first trophy in my City lifetime.

Hay ive had some of the best days of my life watching City and i have had a couple of trophies before the last couple of seasons, but the best has got to be this year.
In order for me:

2011/12 Champions
1998/99 league 2 play off champs.
FA Cup Winners 2010/2011
2001 Champs

For the record, the emotion for winning them is just the same today:-D
 
Ahhh. I knew someone would ask this. Hard to pick but I would have to say the FA Cup. Winning the first trophy and getting the monkey off our back may have been the hardest thing the club has done so far.
 
I've had a good ol' think about it and I think winning the league is hands-down the most important - being crowned champions of england is the pinnacle. Winning the FA Cup was fantastic but over 38 games WE WON THE BLOODY LEAGUE! WE WON IT.

Also, to detect which was better, I have a patented blub-o-meter(TM). The blub-o-meter overloaded against QPR and exploded.
 
The FA cup was incredible, the first trophy in my lifetime brilliant.

But it's all about the league title isnt it? i am still buzzing from it

a month later i am still pinching myself that what Aguero did actually happened
 
I think because of the circumstances surrounding the Premier League, the way we fought back and gave ourselves that chance on the last day, not to win it then would of been a horrible experience. Winning it in the way we did and ensuring we were the champions and not the other lot was extremely important, more important I think, than the FA Cup win.

I think winning the league is the pinnacle of the English game so for me the win on 13th May was the most important. Just got to make sure we defend it well next season.

However, without that FA Cup win would we have the league? We'll never know.
 
No matter what anyone says winning the premier league is by far the most important. You can fluke the champs league to some extent as the rags, bin dippers, Chelsea and others have done.

You don't fluke the prem it is the holy grail.

Totally agree. Chelsea defended their way to win the CL, you cant do that with the PL. The Premier League, definitely.
