I had this argument the year we lost to Pompey in the semi in 2008, I had the pleasure at the time of an evening with Bomber Brown and my old man which in itself was a wonderful evening and very nostalgic! My point being, I was on the table with a number of old crusties who were reminiscing about our past, the great sides and in particular the 68 cup win, my point was at least you had that memory! I am 41 and the best it gets for me is Wembley in 1992, promotion to the Prem in 2001, yo-yo years, great escape and many more years of reaching the 40 point tidemark!!

My point was I would rather win the cup and have the history and memories that it brings and get relegated, when your name is on the cup you have to go and get it, that said, I don't know/think it is this year but history has a strange way of throwing up superstitions and fate like Liverpool on route. I like saft have grown tired of the Prem and the extorbiant amounts of money and it's whole grasp over football, why the f*** are we playing at Liverpool on a Saturday night at 7.45pm, thankfully I have BT but that's a side note.

Basically, I preferred battling in the Championship and have fonder memories playing towards something that had purpose and meaning unlike treading water as 10-12 teams do now. So go for it Albion, Swansea did it, throw the shackles off and have a go, who knows, a good cup run and survival, we dare to dream!!!!
