Queens is an impressive tennis tournament, but it does not have the same prestige as a Grand Slam, that's the comparison I was making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 23 December 2023 Share Posted 23 December 2023 I stand by what I said as a draw would have been the best result. Don’t like Leeds winning and as convincingly as they did. so does ipswich hit back or do they break if they get beat by us? we just gotta focus on our own games that’s all. Onwards and upwards we go!

Well in money earnings it pays out more than the champions league and winning the prem. So I would say that's pretty major. Just like winning the playoffs carries the biggest prize for a single game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Premier, FA Cup and League Cup all have clubs competing from level one. Even if clubs use weaker line ups in some matches or even if you won the Cup beating only lower division teams. This is why they are the majors of the domestic football in England and Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that a draw would have been best, or maybe even an Ipswich win! The last thing City need right now is for the two-horse race to become a three-horse race.

Perhaps just different opinions. I’d rather win it than not win it. It’s likely the biggest trophy we can win this season. Why not leave it there. It’s nearly Christmas. Good cheer.
