Elliottman Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Anyone saying they wouldnt want to win this trophy must be off their fucking rocker.

Guest malandro Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The only clubs that take it seriously nowadays are crappy third rate outfits. Recent League Cup finals 2005: Liverpool vs Chelsea 2006: Man Utd vs Wigan 2007: Arsenal vs Chelsea 2008: Chelsea vs Spurs 2009: Man Utd vs Spurs 2010: Aston Villa vs Man Utd Some proper third rate clubs there like, none of them are anywhere near as big as we are. Seeing as you conveniently missed it. Just because they won it doesn’t mean they took it seriously. Why do you want NUFC to win a trophy, Dave?

Rich Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I don't mind Hughton playing the second XI in the competition, I expected that team tonight (although I had Kadar in for Coloccini). I think we should continue to do so. It makes the wins even more special for me, and it's keeping fringe players involved at a high level of competition, which is always good, while also keeping our first team as fresh as possible for what is a gruelling league campaign. Is this even the point of the thread? Apologies if not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Winning the LC would feel like pulling a fit looking lass who turns out to have a cock. I'll have to bow to your superior knowledge on that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Ok. Breathe. The club that wins the League Cup qualifies for Europe. No? So, yes I want to see NUFC win the Cup. Winning the Cup, competing in Europe is a good thing no? More football. Makes it easier to attract and keep talent? What is difficult to understand?

johnnypd Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 having not won anything for so long that fact hangs round our neck like a millstone, winning something, even the league cup, would have a transformational effect on the way we see ourselves as a club, not just the perennial underachievers who always fall at the last hurdle. no more 'you've never won fuck all" (sic) chants. not to mention entry into europe. madness to turn your nose up at that.

Did Boro winning the LC transform how you see them as a club? Far too much is made of our trophyless streak. If it’s become a millstone round our neck it’s because we’ve let the media blow it out of all proportion. There’s not many clubs in the UK that have won more than NUFC and the club is about a whole lot more than trophies in cabinets. If it wasn’t we’d have crumbled away to nothing over the last four decades. We’ve stayed united because NUFC is underpinned by a sense of pride in who we are, because there’s a relationship between the city and NUFC very few clubs enjoy. Other supporters sing you’ve never won fuck all because they envy what we do have, and that’s something that can’t be bought. Winning the League is an achievement to be proud of. Winning the FA Cup still carries a modicum of prestige, but the LC has become a joke. Winning something would nice but it’s not the be all and end all. Being desperate to win anything just for the sake of winning something is a very sad way of thinking about NUFC. If the LC comes our way so be it. There’s some money to be made, but anyone who thinks it’s worth winning for any other reason should ask themselves what that reason is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 In fact fuck it. I've absolutely no idea what you're on about. His point seems to be Football is about more then winning trophies, so we shouldn't want to win one, what kind of logic is that? Yes Malandro Football is about much more then winning trophies, but winning trophies is also part of Football and its a nice part, so the better question for you is why the fuck wouldn't we want to add another trophy to the clubs history?

Village Idiot Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The LC adds to the prestige and history of a club. A trophy is the most tangible demonstration of it. Yes, there are other stuff, but there's no most basic and immediate demonstration of excellence in this sport than producing trophies. It just says that you were top dog that year, simple as that. Not Chelsea, not ManU, not Arsenal, Newcastle United won it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
