It appears to be one of the most asked questions within the fanbase at the moment across pubs and clubs on Tyneside, quite simply, what would you prefer?
Seeing Newcastle walk up the steps at Wembley and hoist the League Cup in the air, or have the Champions League anthem ringing around St James' Park next autumn?
The smart answer of course is BOTH but the case to lift a trophy is a strong one as it will deliver European football next season anyway, albeit not in the Champions League. The experience for fans, seeing the domestic trophy drought which goes back to 1955 end, the open top bus parade and all the excitement in the city it will generate are all the big plus points.
