Tell you what, let’s go and win the FA Cup. That’ll get us into Europe.

Be careful for what you wish for, we get in Europe and there will be a queue for SD in the Summer, mind you it would be good though, just let's hope we don't get Hannover Home & Away ;)

Even if you win the damn thing, you get around £16m, you play on Thursday nights, meaning Sunday fixtures in the Premier League at least until December... we have a small squad, so why risk our probable Premier League future ? If we can lose at home to Conference Lincoln in the FA Cup, then we can certainly F**k it up away to a Slovakian/Georgian/Maltese team in early August...

We'll just tell them that we're still offended by them banning us from the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1962, because we weren't a City and we didn't have an International Trade Fair, demand a one-off historical damages payment of £30m, and let some other Club, Watford perhaps, make a horlicks of the whole thing !! :D
You left out the market pool, which is worth loads more to England than to anywhere else. In 2015-16, Liverpool got €38m for reaching the final, Spurs got €21m for reaching the last 16.

It's also a League of 24 teams that's already played 20 games

On points, we are already tied 5th. If we carry on playing with such team spirit, passion, determination and the hard work ethic then our consistency will keep us in the top third, hopefully in or very near the top 6. Have faith!
