I hate to say it, but top 4.... It's all about momentum, and going from 2nd to 5th (or below) would mean something has gone pretty badly wrong and we would be going into next season with a lot more question marks. A cup in front of no fans would be a mild bonus at best.
Top 4 no doubt.
The benefits of doing so completely outweigh winning the F.A Cup.
Genuinely think Man City could do the domestic treble again, which would be ridiculous.
Top 4. This season is about progress. Winning an FA Cup is great but doesn’t always mean progress is being made. Look at Arsenal.
Anyway neither of us should miss out on top 4 from here.
Top 4, Gollum doesn’t do trophies.
From the position both teams are in it would be a massive disappointment not to finish in the top 4 this season.
Looking more likely that we will get top 4 but not win the FA cup so I'll go for that scenario as the one I want.
The FA Cup for me. There have been too many “near misses” (losses in quarter & semi-finals) over the years in addition to all those Wembley defeats. I feel that needs to be put right once and for all.
This is one opponent I’m never overconfident about meeting along the way. The last time I saw them play (actually being there) and we had some success, Rodney Fern and Nobby Stiles were in the line-ups.
Yes FA Cup for me too. I've seen us lift the League Cup and the PL trophy, so to see us lift the FA Cup would mean I could die a really happy man instead of a very happy man.
Top four would be a fantastic achievement, especially with the injuries we've had to contest with this season, but to finally get that FA Cup hoodoo off our backs would top everything.

Shush lad, seeing as you’ll be doing neither, this doesn’t concern you
If it's about money then top 4.
If it's about having a day you'll remember forever then it's winning a cup.
A top 4 finish and an FA cup win would be a fantastic achievement for Brendan. He would deserve the Manager of the Year for that even if Pep ended up doing the quad.

Watching one match on a tablet Vs watching lots of matches on Tuesdays and Wednesdays on a tablet.
Obviously it’s a top 4 finish which is only a trophy when Arsenal don’t finish in it
Probably top 4. What I really wish is that they would give a CL spot for winning the FA cup rather than 4th place. Make the cup mean something agian.

That would be a pretty entertaining final if both Leicester and Man City won it

No one's gonna remember this season much, as there were no crowds. Winning the FA cup at an empty stadium is hardly gonna be etched into the mind forever.

I appreciated your style
For a club like United who need to continue improving then top 4 and CL is more important long term. For a club like Leicester I guess an FA Cup win would be a great achievement and the need for CL less.
As we’ve seen in recent years an FA Cup doesn’t help keep a managers job safe which doesn’t bring continuity and stability.

I have to smile when Liverpool fans call Ole Gollum. Not handsome then like Klopp?
Which mutant from LOTR does Klopp resemble
Would love to see us win FA cup, but in perfect world would like both.
Cant see us getting much today with Dumb and Dumber as referree and var official.
Pawson is worst ref in premier, even worse than Moss, he is the one who missed the blatant penalty against Spurs, and took over 20 views to award a penalty to Everton for a handball
Attwell is renowned for awarding a goal that never happened years ago,and was dropped from premier league for a time.Then was allowed back in.
Neither is of premier quality, and Pawson always looks like he hasnt a clue what he should be doing.
Like many i await the awarding of a dodgy penalty to decide the game.
An FA Cup winner given a CL spot would definitely make it more desirable but being a cup there is a lot of luck involved and a lesser team could reach the final having a fairly easy route like Watford a couple years back. Also what happens if the finalists both finish in the top 3 in the league?
