Old Skool AWIMB poll: FA Cup win or CL semi-final?

Assuming that the FA Cup win came with going out easily in the round of 16 in the CL.

CL semi for me :-)

I think Arteta will field a weak team and we'll be out early.
It's a shame he really needs to win something soon imo to match all the over hype.

So you preferred the 2009 season in which we were humiliated by Manchester United in the Champions League semi to the 2017 season when we beat Man City and Chelsea to win the FA Cup. You big weirdo

Those FA Cup finals at Wembley (and in Wales) are completely priceless. Almost brings a tear to the eye just thinking about them.

I'll take the CL semi but to be honest I would take signs of general progress over a cup win.

We've won the FA Cup too much in recent years. It is boring! I like it when we beat Hull, that was fun :-)

Well no, but I was thinking more of a semi final against Real Madrid and Martinelli scoring a late winner to give us a 2-1 win. Then going to the Bernabeu being 90 min away from the final.

Would I look forward to that game more than an FA Cup final against Hull? Yes I would.

And in terms of recruiting players going forward it would be a big help. The FA Cup, not so much

Worth noting Arteta has already won the FA Cup. It was a bit boring.

I'd probably agree tbh but there is still something nice about having another trophy. I'm still proud I saw my team in a Champions League final even though we lost. Can't say the same about FA Cups (apart from 2001 when we morally won - cheating Scouse ****s )
