League Cup

[Glasgow fox]

Apologies if there is a thread for this sort of thing.  When we beat Tranmere in the league cup many years ago did the so called pundits not say it had lost its value and was no longer a major trophy?  However, today because the cupless geordies not having won a domestic trophy in 70 years it has suddenly become massive again...teams play their reserves leading up to the later stages, as we have ( not sure who our reserves are but that's for another thread) then play there best wish 11....gutted we got knocked out now as it is actually a major trophy again 😉

It’s been viewed as a major trophy again for some time, as the Man City have generally dominated for a while, so it was a chance for the others to grab some silverware. 
 

I hope Newcastle see this out, as I despise Liverpool.

 

No doubt they’ll see it as tin pot when they don’t win.

The narrative from Sky towards this trophy compared to other years has been quite disgusting tbh. 
 

It’s a major trophy, always has been.

 

Not quite the FA Cup, but still major. 

[Sly]

Newcastle need to keep this in the corner and kill the game. 

[Fox92]

It's a major trophy. Just gets played down by the big teams who either lose the final or go out the competition.

 

The big clubs have always dominated it so they must take it more serious than Sky like to think.

Spot on this. 

[beepee1984]

If Newcastle can win a trophy there has to be hope we can win a single match, right? 

No! Surely at least hope to score a goal!

[Muzzy_no7]

Now Sky are proper taking the p*ss.

 

Headline: ‘First Major Trophy for 56 years’.

 

Incorrect. 
 

Its 70 years.

 

Inter cities fairs cup😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 p*ss off

[splinterdream]

Good God, sky really laying it on thick, you'd think they'd just won the Champions League, Bruno after the game getting all emotional talking about making history, bit embarrassing really 

[fox_up_north]

All this tells me is we're still more relevant than Newcastle

Slow down

[Saxondale]

Yeah, this hypocrisy from the football media really cheeses me off. **** em. Only one team can win.

 

Everybody knows the hierarchy: PL, FA Cup, League Cup. But every year, most teams fail to win it - or anything. 
 

It becomes important again when it suits the pathetic narrative.

Congratulations to Newcastle and to Harvey Barnes.

The so called fabulous geordie fans...I remember the night they were burning their own shirts at the kp

Another medal for Harvey

Hats off to Sky , The fa cup and league cup have been so devalued since they put there beaks in

 

I can remember queuing for tickets to the home tie against Bristol City in the 4th round in the early 90s , unheard of now 

 

The whole country stopped for the cup back then it meant so much 

[Saxondale]

Congratulations to the geordies, but not the Saudi shits who own them.

Don't agree. Fairs Cup was a major trophy

Did he play in the FA Cup final? I can't remember. But sure he must've 

 

I guess he did the charity shield too, surely 

 

An impressive haul!

Was the intertoto cup one as well? 
 

How about the Anglo-Italian?

No you are classing the competition  lower than it was.  

[CrazyKopCorner]

I found myself really going for Newcastle. Not sure if new found admiration for the geordies or continued hatred of the red twats.

The Fairs Cup I believe was the precursor to the UEFA Cup so on those terms was a major trophy

Yes. As well as Newcastle both Leeds and Arsenal list on their major honours board
