If it's the springboard to some good future seasons then I'd be more than happy to sacrifice what has been an awful league season. Frankly I wouldn't mind it if we failed and the players had shown some pride, if not for us but for themselves - which they don't seem to be doing. If it does lead on to something then the league form will be forgotten and the cup win(s) will last forever, but if it doesn't then it would feel rather pyrrhic.

I do think though that the lows of the league have been bigger than the highs of the cups. If that makes sense.

It's always nice to win a trophy, especially after 6 years of not doing so, and on paper I'd rather win something than not. But the performances in the league have been largely terrible and overshadowed it, so I'd probably take your season over ours.
