FA CUP….Without a doubt! I began watching the Tics in the NPL and traveled to cup matches against City in 71 and Birmingham in 78 as a lad along with a number of trips to Grimsby, Wrexham, Sheffield Wed. etc.in between! Sat 11/05/13 was my birthday!!!! I had supported the team for 40 odd years by then and watched my team lift the FA CUP stood next to my Dad, brother-in-law and two sons all of who are die hard Tics fans…..The Cup everytime for me a day I will never forget!
I didn’t watch this so I don’t know on which side of the fence Le Tissier was sitting. Sky has effectively devalued this competition to the point where PL clubs regard it as an unwelcome intrusion into the business of avoiding the real possibility of financial oblivion. Le Tissier is old enough to understand the significance of the FA Cup so I hope he was suggesting that we would rightly have taken winning the cup over relegation.
At this moment Newcastle fans would take staying in the PL above winning the cup. Their perception is that Newcastle is a PL club and that is where they should be. They’ve won the cup before so to win it again doesn’t carry the same significance as a team, from such a humble background, winning it for the first time.
So I pose another question. At the start of that season if you were offered winning the FA Cup but being relegated and losing the manager to an established PL club and you took that option then it is shameful hypocrisy to then criticise the subsequent actions of the manager that made it possible.

You seem to be paying me an inordinate amount of attention on here of late.
