    Got talking to a few lads the weekend and the conversation came up which would you prefer to win this season Champions League or the Premiership?

    I was very surprised to hear a good few of them say the CL while i'd take the PL anyday over it. You can win the CL IMHO without deserving it (Liverpool anyone :)) bt nobody can say you fluke the league.

    So if it came down to it, what woukd you choose?

    Very tough question. I would have to say winning the league would be a better experience because you would have a match every week that could be a potential league-decider. Winning the CL would be amazing, absolutely amazing, but imagine the nerves and excitment of going through a title-winning season - it would be unbelievable, especially for a club like ours that has never won it. Might not be a bad idea to add a poll though.

    Good point,

    Poll would make good reading. Don't think I can edit the OP to add a poll.

    CL is the pinnacle no matter what Sky tell you about the EPL.

    If we won it we would join a very select few to have won all 3 European trophies. We'd certianly be the only British side to have done it anyway.

    This topic is a bit like asking who would you get into bed with first though, Kelly Brook or Cheryl Cole.

    Neither gonna happen so we may as well dream..:D

    Hands down the Champion League. Especially if its as exciting as the '05 Liverpool campaign. I wouldn't mind the PL either tho... :P

    I voted Premier League. Of course i'd be delighted to see us win anything, but the league is what i want the most, at least for the time being. Seeing us on top over Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal etc...after 38 matches, would make me happier then winning the few games it takes to win the Champions League.

    I'm not saying one is better then the other, just what i would like to see.

    Horrible question. Went for the CL by a 51-49 margin!! Would have Europe-wide respect if we won that.
    What about the double (both of them) though??

    It really wouldn't matter to me at this stage which we won, if we won anything this season it would be a phenomenal achievement what with the amazing squads around.

    Saying that, we are far more likely to win the Champions League this year then we are the League. I think we could genuinely beat any team at WHL, but it would all depend on the scoreline in our away games if that were the case. The only team I would really fear would be Barcelona - I think all the other teams are beatable.

    There is more money in the CL also, and a team that does well in the CL would find it easier to attract top class players - in my opinion, at the moment there are probably a few of our past transfer targets absolutely kicking themselves for not joining us now after the positive impact we've made for English football (not only in the Champions League, but keeping Man City out too - showing that you can't just buy class in one season).

    But I think I'd prefer the Premier League first. :)

    League Title for me, haven't won it for 50 years.

    The best team always wins the league
    The same can't always be said about the CL or any cup competition

    PL for me. Winning the champions league would be amazing but to be crowned league champions would be far better to me.

    This season is even more important now than last year, it would be a major major step forward if we could finish top four in the PL again.

    Business sense for me went for CL. The money brought in coupled with the increase in stature would mean we could attract and pay for some world class players. These would form a foundation for a successful league campaign next year and the year after etc. I think that winning the PL over the CL now would not have the same effect for the club long term.

    @golfball37 - I don't think it's beyond possible that we could win one of them. Not that I'd be surprised if we didn't but we do have a chance. :)
