"The Double"_ Cup AND League Title - it's on !!!

[The Maharajah of Sydney]

Bugger all this reservist attitude. We've got fitness & depth within our squad this season, let's have a crack at making history !
Biggest danger in playing safe is ending up with the worst case scenario, namely a Draw.
Aim to actually win something tangible before the years of mid-table mediocrity / relegation dogfight set in.

Whilst it's only a few clubs that have ever achieved "The Double", no one has ever dared accomplish it from the 2nd Tier - let's bloody well have a good go at it !

I'd be happy with 2nd and screw the cup



The double would be awesome mind you

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Palace can still do the 'Double' too.


PS. Not at all interested in the FA Cup this year.

West Brom have won the cup and been promoted from the second tier in a season. They finished second though. I'd take that.

Well if one Albion can set the bar let's see if this Albion can go on and top it.

Love the FA cup but the leauge is the most important priority but I trust CH to make the right decisions and it also gives players time to other members of the squad.

If we beat Lincoln, it is then the fifth round which is semi serious. Get a decent home draw in the fifth and we are looking at quarter finals and it has then got very serious.

With our squad, surely we can give it a go.

Was going to start a similar thread a few weeks back, on the lines of wouldn't it be a weird full circle of events if the season we (if) get promoted back to the prem(div 1) we got to the cup final again the same as we did when last exiting the top flight in 83..... but I didn't want to tempt fate by mentioning it

And now you have...

The former Champions of Europe are in with a massive shout of the double, as well.

...don't forget Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottingham and Arsenal too.

If you can guarantee the Albion a similar draw through the rounds to Millwall's x years ago, I'm in.

I would take winning the FA Cup over promotion - all day long.

Best priced 265/1 with Bet365 (100/1 & 13/8)

Succulent odds to cover the subsequent celebrations

No they haven't. I don't think any 2nd. division club ever won the cup until Sunderland in 1973.

Can't stand all this negativity about the Cup. Winning is a habit, so cup success can rub off in league performances. Teams that keep winning don't get so tired either, mentally at least.
Not too many reserves for the cup either, please - remember our first team is never at its best after a break.
