right i am at work alone and i just had a Eureka moment. i hate he CL and all it stands for. i dislike the PL. I am Oldskool. the FA CUP has been a constant in my life : from crying when we lost in 1969 to my first fa cup game in 1974. FROM THE LATE 70'S TO THE 1990,S I never missed a fa cup game home or away. we might make more money by getting in to the CL but its the FA cup, a real competition (just).FA Cup for me, for a simple reason.
I refer to the Rats in the Shed thread posted by Mac. In the story a boy tries to impress his dad by listing all winners of the cup since 1946. Kids remember winners. Ask a kid to name the English teams that have qualified for the Champions League in the last ten years and they wouldn't be able to do it. Winning the cup puts you in the history book (or Wikipedia page - you choose), qualifying doesn't. Our qualification in 2016-17 isn't mentioned on the UCL Wikipedia page.
