The FA Cup was amazing, but I was there for the Premier League win, which on a personal scale pips it for me. I can understand those choosing the FA Cup and it was beautiful, but I never got over not being there for it whereas I've never before felt the joy I experienced against QPR. To be fair, I experienced a lot of emotions that day I've never done so before so it's gotta be that for me.

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

I was there for both, but even though i know the prem is far more important as a trophy, i've found that the FA Cup win meant more to me (didn't expect it to, only realised it in the days after the prem win). It must just be that it was the first proper trophy i'd seen us win in my lifetime, it was the start of the change, it was amazing. On a personal level it hit me more. And as a kid i never expected us to win the league (!) but i had hopes for the fa cup every single year and used to cry so much when i was really little each year when we lost! But here we were - actually winning it! It was like my childhood coming true at the age of 36!! :)
Not saying the Prem isn't amazing, and of course it's harder to win, i think i just felt the actual trophy giving was an anti climax from where i was (couldn't see a thing, and the 2 blokes in front stood on their seats even though no one else in front of them did so it's not like they did it to see better, so my pensioner mum couldn't see - neither could i really!), and for some weird reason i've let that slightly taint it for me! Yeah, i'm weird ;)
Of course both are so so special, and yep, i can't quite believe we've won the prem! I saw some kids city pjs in marks today, and thought how they never had them when i was a kid, then i remembered oh yeah we're champions!!!!! It still keeps sinking in - that we are THE team. It's weird! Until it finally sinks in fully, it's still the Cup win for me. I still keep thinking i will wake up from this life on mars coma and someone will tell me Billy McNeill has just pissed off to Villa ;)

the PL by a country mile, previously to that just beating the scum in the Semi was more satisfying than the Final
The FA Cup gave us belief. Winning the Prem was even better though.
I judge 'importance' on the amount of tears shed. Sunday May 13th is the most I've wept in a longtime (prior to that it was Glen turned up sans tea-towel when he'd fucking promised!). Far more tears than those shed when we won the cup.

47 years old and never been a better time to be a blue.
Winning the FA Cup after beating United in the semi-final gave the club and us fans the belief to go on and improve. Great days and great celebrations.
But like so many it has to be the FA Premier League for me. 38 matches, fantastic performances, the 8 point turn around and the final three minutes. Loved the celebrations and watching the videos of the day.
Don't want to wait until next season but guess will have to.

The FA Cup for me. It was our first trophy, it meant that banner came down. The league win will kick start us onto a new era. This is a great time to be a City fan and be 17 years of age. What a future you guys have in front of you. I'm 53 now but hopefully I'll have a number of special days still to come before I fall of my perch!!
