Ha

So, dunk the witch. She drowns and dies, she's not a witch, she doesn't drown and lives, she IS a witch and therefore you then kill her.

Bla bla bla, it would hurt more to lose the playoffs at Wembley than a FA Cup semi, we all get it. But you want the team to achieve as much as possible - reaching the playoff final is a much greater achievement than beating Wolves. And the road to the playoff final itself would be pure magic.

Not just that. It’s two weeks off preseason, it essentially gets us nothing if we don’t go up, and we did it all last year.

This would be only the second FA Cup semi in my life and the first since I started supporting City proper.

I think a trip to Wembley for an FA Cup semi final would be far more enjoyable than a play off.

If would be similar to the Checkatrade. A day on the beer backing the players and the result is secondary.

The play offs last season were tense. It was too meaningful to truly enjoy.

Didn’t we get loads of revenue from prize money and ticket sales?

Loss aversion is the only real reason to say you’d rather miss the playoffs and lose an FA Cup semifinal imo

Certainly be a lot less stressful and just treated like a day out in the sun.

It's a no brainer. Lose the cup semi final and win promotion.

So are we saying the FA Cup isn’t more important than promotion now? I can’t keep up.

I think the point my insomniac brain was trying to make is that Playoffs are really only enjoyable IMO if you win them, but the lack of pressure and novelty teams in the FA Cup mean the journey itself is fun.

Why is the question about losing in the semi-final rather than the FA Cup final itself? We're giving Hill far too many open goals here

Yeah that’s why the question isn’t “which would you rather win”?

We've got more chance of reaching the cup final than getting promoted.

Absolutely spot on. No one says " I remember your lot winning promotion blah blah years ago. "
The cup's burned on your soul forever.

You're not really giving anyone much choice . Do you want to lose or do you want to lose . So I'm going to up the stakes a bit with a new thread !

The reality is probably losing to Wolves and still not making the playoffs.

On ITV last night they said only 4 of last 20 championship teams in FA cup QF's had gained promotion the same season.
