Which would you rather we won? I'd probably go for the Champions League as I don't feel the amount of times we've won it properly reflects our prestige, history and status in football. The league would probably be more of an achievement though, given how consistent Chelsea are and their massive resources...
Champions League or the Premiership?

Until we've got as many as those twats down the East Lancs I'll never be happy.

CL...we've underachieved in europe in our history for a club our size.
Premiership for me.

We're Manchester United so both
It seems to be widely agreed amongst the older generations that the team torn apart in 1958 would have gone on to win a few.VoetbalWizard said:
Premiership, it's such a good thing to be able to go to 19 grounds and shout "champions, champions!!" we haven't done it for so long!
I would prefer the champions league so I can sit at home for hours and make a paper mache european cup and take it to Anfield. Yea that will show them
the league
its harder to win, and its 38 games long
If you win this then you would have earned it, in cup competitions luck plays a big part
The Champions League has gone downhill with all its commericalism and 2nd rate teams

Salt or Sugar?
Champions league. The Premiership is a joke at the moment anyway with Chelsea dominating it.
I have lost a bit of respect for the champions league but I would still love to see United win it again.
I'd love to win the Premiership to prove everybody wrong, and just because it's a good thing to win. I'd also like to win the Champions League as it'd be a big feck you to Chelski. That's the trophy they haven't won and the one they want the most, it'd be great for us to get it, not them.
the champo league of course !
I like both, but my preference would be the champions league.
Champions league as long as we finish 4th or higher in the premiership. Otherwise the premiership, as we would want to be playing in the champions league next season.
both
Premiership and FA Cup double this season, Treble next season.
Champions League - there is more prestige attached to winning this.
Although I believe its actually harder to win the Premiership.

I'd rather do something the Scousers can't.
It's quite long been my wish for us to surpass their total of league championships whilst still under Fergie's management, and there's still a chance.

You wouldnt want to win the CL and finish 5th would you ?
Premiership - always

Premiership. It's much harder to win and the bragging rights would be much better. Think of all the pundits who had us finishing 5th!
I'd take both in an ideal world but i'd rather take the Premiership for the same reason as Lorcanjc above, i'd rather stick it to Chelsea and the cnuts in the media who said we're going to be shite this season.
Yeah.. Plus the FA-Cup.[Hellboy]17 said:
Premiership for sure.
CL is a bit of a lottery, if you ask me. You need luck more than anything else to win it. Many people considered Barca worthy winners last season, whereas teams like Liverpool (5th best in their own league that season) and Porto (half decent team from a relatively uncompetitive league) have also fluked it recently. Unequal local league pressures and schedules, some with winter breaks, unequal grounds etc make the competition uneven to begin with. I don't even want to begin on 4th-placed (sometimes 5th) teams qualifying for a top-tier "champions'" competition. Whatever true prestige it had has been slowly whittled away by the money-making schemes of the footballing powers.
But you don't fluke the Premier League title. 38 games against local teams waiting week after week to outfight, outrun, out-tackle, out-kick you just because you're the top dog. Derby matches, bitter inter-city rivalries that make players run their lungs out for the bragging rights, or simply to "knock you off you f**king perch". And with the considerable resources from TV rights, there are no real walkovers anymore. No one, and I mean no one, in his right mind will dispute the legitimacy or argue against the league table come the end of the season. (Note: Wenger is not always in the right mind).
For that, the Premier League title comes first.

I know where he's coming from with that statement but I have to disagree to a point. A clubs prestige, history and status is built on winning things like the champions league to a large degree. We've only been good enough to achieve that twice, despite all our other great achievments on and off the pitch we have to accept that fact. If that makes Real Madrid, Milan and some other clubs, greater than us in this respect then so be it. It's up to us to win it enough times to knock them off their perch.ega04cmd said:

But gun to the head, I may say Champions League.

Premiership for me. Of course it would be nice to have as many Europeans as the scousers but it's not what it was.
Yeah, premiership for me too, want to overtake the scousers!!!
Thought back in '99 that it was only a matter of time before we overtook them in Premiership and European Cup titles, broke my heart when the jammy feckers stole it 2 years back, I'll never forgive Milan!!!
A win on Sunday would help!!!

What the heck of being a champion of europe but being a loser in local league?
Agreed boring. Everything else is secondary. Also, someone said they want to overtake liverpools 5 cups. i would rather overtake their league record first.CnutOfAllCnuts said:
no reason we can't win both with a bit of luck though
Agreed as well - Premiership - Always
Definatly the Premiership, everytime.
Easily the premership. You can fluke the champions league. e.g Liverpool. You cant fluke the premiership!
