Bad fan or............

So after the game on Saturday night I was sitting in the pub totally deflated by the draw and realised I know care more about the League cup and FA cup this season.

Obviously I want us back in the top 4 (let's be honest the league was never a chance this season) but I hate the idea of us going 6 years without a notable trophy.

We simply have to win one. My mates (yep I have 1 or 2!) were shocked I'd care more about a cup than the league.

But at this stage I just want silverware.

So is it a sign of a bad fan to only care about the cups now?
 
It's a refreshing attitude as success is measured in silverware, not top 4 finishes. However qualifying for the CL (and the money it brings in) is imperative in attracting players who are talented enough to take us to another level. It's sad the game is gone this way, but that's just how it is these days, so I care more about getting into the top 4 than I do about winning either of the domestic cups.
 
We might finish top 4 but with no trophies, we might finish top 10 and a League Cup, we might finish top 4 and a trophy which is a bonus and we might finish top 10 with no silverware. Bad fan or not, we have every fucking right to fucking be one.

Where'd you watch it?
 
I do kinda agree with you DB, but in reality getting into the top 4 is the most important thing and so has to be number one priority.

The advantages of the being in the Champions League compared to not being are just too great to overlook. It is a shame in some ways, and maybe there is something to be said for the idea of giving a CL place to the FA Cup winners instead of 4th place.

There's only one trophy I want us to win and that's the league. We won't win it this year but in order to build momentum we must attain a CL spot so that we can attract higher calibre players.

If we win a trophy on the way that would be good but not at the expense of us getting back on the main European stage.

I cant see any arguament against this. A trophy would be nice but progression back into the CL is the most important way of attracting the players we need ( to make us genuine league contenders) to the club
 
I want to win the league. I doubt we will but we do play Citeh next month and the Manc teams play each other this weekend. We can be within a few points of them again pretty soon if we improve a little bit.
 
Bad fan? Not for me to say...

Inability to see (or maybe refusal to accept) the bigger picture, and what's more important for the long-term future of this club? I think that's more accurate.

Yes. This.
 
I want a cup win and to get in the Champions League.

We've got distractions this year so we should have a chance.
 
I can't see us winning the league anytime soon, and I'm thinking years. We're a long way off it.
 
See DB, you aren't a bad fan, Ryan is. He is now going to wish for us not to win it so that he can be proven to know so much about football. Just like he hopes Adam and Downing suck.

Fuck off you annoying cunt.

I have to agree with Ryan on this one Shelvey.

We won't win it any time soon, and your "whopping cuntsore of a post" was behavior indicative of an "annoying cunt."

Easy. Needless.

Try "Oh, sod off" next time.

Please.
 
Fair enough Whad.

But when Mods are happy to refer to other posters as "cunts" then it's surely carte blanche for the rest of us...
 
Look I was just poking fun, but I seriously can't believe how you can say that when things turn around so quickly in sports. If we sign a dominating CB and a world class winger this summer its completely on. That along with this year is far from over. We got Luis Suarez last January.

Plus with how negative you are Ryan, you deserve it.

And I don't give a shit about being called a cunt, who the fuck is that sensitive on the internet. Don't know why he got told off for that.
