It's a difficult one. In the past I would always have favoured winning a trophy over staying up. Now though, I'm a bit more circumspect in that who really remembers Portsmouth winning the Cup 10 years ago, or Wigan winning in 2013? Look where those clubs are now. Given a choice between the two options, I would love for the club to win a trophy, but the fear of getting relegated hurts more than getting beaten in the FA Cup.

Still, I'm looking forward to tomorrow all the same. So excited.

We’ve had our two best cup runs for three decades in the past two seasons. I’m for staying up, more time in the EPL means more chances to field a cup-winning side.

BUT winning the cup is obviously nice too!

I'd probably say Cup & Relegation - although 46 games + FA Cup + League Cup PLUS Europa League would stretch the squad like never before!

This thread is very much like Mrs May's EU deal, how many times can you bring the same thread back.

This. Unbelievable the way The Magic Of The Cup turns presumably normally sensible people into seven shades of twattishness. That's MAGIC!

the two go hand in hand. To have a realistic chance of winning silverware you have to be playing at the highest standard week in week out, and that's the Premier League.

100% staying up for me. No way I want this journey to end not even for a cup win, I have waited for too long.

I am forgetting the league totally tomorrow. This is the second time in our long history that we have reached the semi final of the best cup competion in the world. As I am in Turkey I have to watch on TV,but I have my Seagulls shirt,scarf,and hat at the ready. I have warned the neighbours about the shouting I will be doing. After tomorrow I will thenbe hoping we get the points we need.I also think we will stay up

Same answer(s) as on the last 'Win the Cup or stay up?' thread. It is not a binary choice.

Its a no brainer all genuine fans should want us to stay up the rest are chasing glory. If we can win tomorrow and then our next 2 home games that would be a great bonus but I would settle for wins on 13th and 16th April.

Absolutely this.

And iif we need a win against City to stay up, then frankly, we don't deserve to... even though we will have a cup final to look forward to

Just before the beginning of the season I put a few $20 bets on, like winning the league etc.
One at 1500/1 was that Brighton would qualify for European football this season.
I will read the conditions to see if it is dictated by our league table position or if a cup win counts.
Not saying we will win, but wouldn’t it be nice.

Cup glory all day long.
I'll follow the Albion no matter what league, the cup is a rarity so it has to be this.
