Hope Bradford knock us out and we don't get a day out at Wemberleeee, just so long as we can keep playing Bolton, Watford and Charlton next season

Don't have a problem going to Wembley, but to say you would take that and relegation...... That would set us back massively..... Oh yes nice reply with the insult, real class....

You (indirectly) called him a fool. He called you a dickhead.

Seems fair to me, Marty.

Good point... I can accept my mistake. However still can't get why people would take cup final appearance and relegation .

Perhaps because relegation from and promotion to the Championship is all something we've seen before and probably something we'll see again supporting the club. It happens.

Whereas there's a realistic chance that we'll never see Reading in an FA Cup final, and opportunities to get there will be extremely rare.

What is so special about shit right now, that you would forego a historic superweight of a trophy just to protect?

Weve been catfished by our owners, the players are all shit, Steve Clarke is bollocks, the football is retarded - if this shitbucket of squits can somehow fluke an FA cup win, I wouldn't care if the coach ride home went 'Malaysian' and was never seen again.

Fcuk that, they need to at least stick around for next season's European adventure.

I'm not even talking cup final appearance - I'd take relegation if it guaranteed a semi final appearance.

Yeah? Well I'd take relegation if it guaranteed us scoring one goal in the quarter final.

So beating a League 1 side is worth going down
and spending at least a season (maybe forever)
in League 1 or worse.

If we can beat ONE League One side, who's to say we can't beat ALL the League One sides :?: :!:

I'd rather be chasing promotion or the POs in The Championship next year than winning League 1
even if it's in a canter

Although, if you can promise me 46 wins and 138 points, the highest GD in history
while winning that league, I'll consider it.
