You have won it 3 times in 60 years.
I don't think you quite as synonymous with the European Cup as you seem to think you are Shinji.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
196 ties in 23 years is pretty synonymous I'd say.
Don't take that as gospel however it was a quick calculation. I think it will be more because of the period where there were two group stages.

Haf haf where are you?
"Was more prestigious than the UEFA cup and not to far behind the European cup in importance imo."
Was it, other than because the winner got to the Super Cup I don't think it was. In fact before the CL allowed more than just the league winners enter the UEFA Cup was arguably the most difficult to win as it had 2 or 3 teams from the better leagues.
Sadly the growth of the CL allowing more sides has only killed off the Cup Winners Cup and made the UEFA Cup less important.
4th place doesn't guarantee CL qualification. Anyway a club like Man Utd should be striving for both.
In terms of honours and qualification schemes it goes as follows these days
Major honours:
CL
League
Other honours:
Europa
CL spots finish
FA Cup
League Cup
Nice distractions
Super Cup
WCC
Community Shield
Considering how long it has been the fa cup is important to win. We probably won't get a better chance again.
I should say for a while in the fa cup.

Doesnt look like we are gonna get top 4.
Who cares anyway, I'd much rather win a trophy than qualify for some square-dealer, secret handshake tourney anyway.
I think the FA Cup is bigger not only than the top four but the CL as well. In fact, just getting to an FA Cup semi is better than finishing fourth.
CL we want as many FA Cups as possible before the Euro Super League breakaway.
