Because we never lost to the others at Wembley, as gut wrenching as that day was if we had been relegated the next season it counts for nothing , where an fa cup win lasts for ever ., it’s just my opinion,we don’t celebrate 1967 as our biggest achievement but we do do with 1987
But it's a completely different landscape now and we need a slice of the Prem pie to secure the future of the club.
We cannot allow the FA cup to jeopardize that.

As has been said the premier league offers huge long term financial benefits where as an FA Cup doesnt. Pre 1992 the cup mattered but sadly it doesnt anymore.
How many points clear (of 3rd) would we need to be - for us to take the FA Cup seriously?
If we're 20 points clear and have new additions to the squad lined-up?!
Personally - I think December will be tough and we'll be handful clear of Ipswich and few more clear of someone else. If that happens - then we play the kids
However, if we beat the tractor boys home & away, smash everyone else and we're on 60pts+ on 3rd round day - then we should probably give it a go!
