Tis a subjective matter and purely up to the individual to decide preference true, what cannot be denied is that the PL, LC & FA cup are all domestic honours whilst the CL, EL & ECL are all European honours.
One thing in common with all of them is they are all regarded by the record keepers as major honours regardless of their pecking order. Like most I list them in the order of CL,PL,EL,FAC,LC and ECL for the question of prestige and with the exception of the ECL I'd be happy to lift any of them keeping in mind others might think otherwise.
Unfortunately we don't get the ability to choose beforehand which or when a trophy is likely to be raised therefore I find it curious that a 3 season period of decline against a hated rival somehow cancels out the fact that we actually won something more important than an argument on a message board.
We all know the reason for falling behind and it is a matter way beyond our control. That said why would anyone with an IQ higher than a ball bearing attempt to denigrate or mock the winning of a trophy the likes of which they hadn't seen since Noah was a boy? There (Poch era) was a time when I put league position above winning a cup but after so long of being 'nearly' I changed my mind for the beginning of last season and I don't regret it for one minute.
