[Albion] Which of these scenarios would you take if one was guaranteed

[Brok]

Neither.
If we were guaranteed wins, wouldn't it be a bit like supporting Celtic? Or City? What's the fun in that?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

An away win in Europe at a European competition heavyweight? Yes please.

We should be beating #TeamsLikeSheffUtdAndForest anyway, so...

 

[Simster]

Neither.

Spoiler

Neither of these options are actually going to be guaranteed, regardless of the outcome of the poll. It's just a bit of fun.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Ajax. All day long. We've beaten Forest and Sheff utd in the Championship but we've never won away in Europe.

Wolves had a flash in the pan Europa season.. Fulham and Middlesbrough likewise. None back since. This might be our only shot at this for years to come. It's like voting for Carling over Champagne.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Two league wins guaranteed, which makes ajax a free hit. Worth going for it

 

[Chicken Run]

Which guarantee would you prefer?

I reckon this is a toughie. A win at Ajax would put us in a commanding position to continue our European tour, but two straight league wins is likely to put us back in the conversation for a top 5 place and certainly firmly back in the race for European places.

Second option for me

 

[drew]

What's the point of trying to finish in a European place in the league if you don't give that competition a serious go?

 

[Algernon]

Top 5, not a chance unless we do some stellar business in the next transfer window.
I think we'll be lucky to finish in the top ten.
So I'll take the Ajax win to give the Albion away support further foreign travel fun.

 

[The Colonel]

Winning at Ajax will be remembered by everybody there for the rest of their lives.

Winning against Sheffield United and Forest will be forgotten in a few weeks.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Win at Ajax, league is already looking very tricky for us to achieve anything more than midtable mediocrity but anything can happen in a cup competition.

 

[Krafty]

If one was guaranteed? Certainly winning at Ajax.

Exactly this.

IF I am lucky and privileged enough, to witness a win in Amsterdam on Thursday night, that is undoubtedly going to be straight on to the list, of my personal best moments, across 5 DECADES of following the club home and away.

If I watch us beat Sheffield United on Sunday, that will fun too, but seriously... come on!

 

[Questions]

Let’s just hope everyone’s experience at the match isn’t ruined by poor quality Stroowafels.

 

[Official Old Man]

For us oldies, how about going back to 1983.
Wins against WBA & Notts County that may, but wouldn't, have kept us up, or win V Sheff Wed and a trip to Wembley?
For 34 years that/those trips to Wembley were the greatest days of my Albion supporting life.
A win in Ajax may not beat that day but it would come close.

The league wins without a moments hesitation.

Yes, we may win the Europa League but that is really a longshot. If we really want to continue our European adventure, we have to have the PL position to do it. Continued success in the EPL guarantees continued European participation.

 

[Insel affe]

Win at Ajax, win v Sheffield United and a point at Forest.

But why are you concerned about 'continuing our European adventure' next year, if seemingly you're not even bothered about how we actually DO in that adventure once qualified?

As I suggested earlier, if you have a ticket for Ajax this week then I suspect you'll answer the former.

Er, I think we're all bothered.

It is an "either / or" poll. It is a question of what each of us believes is the priority. Of course I want us to be successful in Europe; don't be daft. It is my personal view that we have a better chance of finishing in a league position to qualify for a Euro comp next year than winning the Europa this season.
