I think we're probably going to do both

[Albion] Would you rather win the FA Cup or finish 4th this season?

FA Cup of course.
If we did somehow get into the CL would you look forward to us getting our arses spanked every other week?

And drop like a stone in the league table.Of course, a thread like this guarantees, that if we are lucky enough to beat Grimsby, we get Man City in the semi final.

Went for Cup, for the much maligned Gordon Smith.
But frankly 4th would be the more extraordinary story.

Of course the answer is the FA Cup but...
... 4th pretty much keeps the band together.
I'd love one more season of Caicedo, Mc Allister, Mitoma and De Zerbi.
We shouldn't be blinded by the conveyor belt of talent.

When you’re on your death bed you won’t remember that time Brighton got 2 Locadia’s worth for coming fourth. You’ll remember that trophy lift under the arches.

Of the 4 Premier League teams that qualified for this seasons CL, 3 won their group and the other qualified in 2nd. We’d be there on merit and more likely to be handing out the spankings than anything.
Still voted for FA Cup mind.
This is a very good point. Players will stay (and join) for the Champions League.
Getting into the Champions League could transform the future of the club more than winning the FA Cup.

FA Cup will always be remembered, fourth place forgotten once we get battered out of the CL group stages.

I've been wrestling with this all day and I've finally voted for 4th place. And I feel dirty having done so.
My 12 year old self wants to win the FA Cup, as I said to my dad in 1983 after the defeat that we would be back and win it. But the FA Cup of the 1980's is not the same as it is now. Very sadly it has lost it's shine. However the thought of little old us being in the Champions League is proper pinch myself time.
I'm afraid I want to be in the Champions League a little bit more than winning the FA Cup. Modern football has killed the 12 year old me. Shameful.
