3rd/4th vs A domestic cup double

[Marc Overmars]

After reading RAWK tonight there seems to be some debate about the relative merits of our season versus the one Liverpool are having. With some fans even saying they do not care where Liverpool finish, be it 5th or 15th as long as they win another cup.

This is based on them winning the FA Cup, but would you swap 3rd/4th for a domestic cup double?

Finishing above the spuds. The fun in this season is knowing they all thought they were home and dry in 3rd and had finally got one over on us. All for it to fall apart. Priceless. That's better than any cup. Will Pool still settle for their cup if they end up finishing below Everton?

Domestic cup double.

Well out of those choices, I'd want the cups but I can't help but feel it's more for the supporters than the players or the club these days. That being said, I want us in the Champions League because I love the competition.

Even if we do want to maintain a vicious cycle, it's not going to make a huge amount of difference because my support of them, isn't going to change.

Could you add a poll to this please Mac?

on the face of it, i would answer yes. however if it meant finishing somewhere between 7th and 10th with no obvious signs of improvement the following season in the league, then i would rather take fourth. the opportunities to win knockout domestic cups will always be there but it can be a much longer road back to the top of the table.

It depends on whats going to happen next season. Is AW going to change things around or continue with his awful WUMming of the last 6 seasons? If things are going to be changed with players bought in early, RVP extends his contract etc, then I prefer our season. If its going to AW coming with 'waiting period' n similar bollocks, I'd prefer Liverpool's season. Past 6 seasons tells me that AW is not going to do a thing of note to make us CL and/or PL contenders, so I voted for the cups.
