Cup Win - Permanent
Relegation - Temporary

No brainer really.

Presumably those opting for the cup win don't remember what happened the season we won the Simod Cup and how long it then took us to get back to the same level in the league.

If the team manage a good cup run then there's every probability that league performances will reflect this.

The past 2 games have given the team confidence, something to build on.

If you're old enough to remember that you should also have enough sense not to equate the Full Members Cup with the FA Cup.

Glory every time for me.

SLAMMED Are you lot taking the piss. Staying in the division > FA cup.


You don't deserve to follow a football team.


:| Because I'd rather we stayed in the division.

Ridiculous.

The lifelong memory of a day out at the Cup Final with my son versus the right to play Scunthorpe rather than Swindon.

Absolutely. No. Contest.

Maguire Stupid poll really

'greed, where's the both option?

People who insist on choosing one or the other are twats, because it is possible to have both. :roll:

Day out at Wembley against Arsenal etc to be turned over 4-0 or numerous top Championship games week in week out.

No brainer and stay up all the way.

FA Cup's and performances soon get forgotten about.

To be fair I don't think we need a poll to tell us that.

those with all this "you know nothing about football" posts, surely you experts recognise that the FA Cup is a sideshow nowadays. I could name every Cup final from the 70s and 80s, but have to think hard to remember who holds it now. In fact I do not know who the holders are. Chelsea?

IMO there will never be as good a feeling in league football as our Championship season and going up at Leicester. It was - hate to use this word - AWESOME.

The only thing that will ever touch that feeling is winning the cup.

As for relegation. Pahh. Been there done that. Why get worked up about it? You really sound like one of those "big club" fans - obsessed by the Prem, miserable for most of the oxf*rd year, and totally out of touch with reality :lol:
