Stottie Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago 53 minutes ago, Cristov said: Correct if wrong but we have just become only the 7th club to win a domestic trophy in the last 11 years Yes its grim and likely to get grimmer, thanks to rule changes like PSR and more and more subs letting big clubs face you with 16 stars, not 11. Since Sky etc. won't point it out to you, I'll stick this in capitals in an attempt to grab more eyeballs and make an important point about fairness and competititiveness in English football. WE WON THE FIRST EFL TOURNAMENT TO INCLUDE SEEDING OF TEAMS PLAYING THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AND EUROPA LEAGUE THOSE SIX TEAMS ALL GOT AUTOMATIC HOME DRAWS IN THE THIRD ROUND (LAST 32) SO THEY WOULDN'T PLAY EACH OTHER The higher ups and their media lapdogs don't want to share trophies round. That's why they talk of "quadruples". Liverpool didn't even reach the last 8 in the Champions League. That's about as close to winning as some long-forgotten England manager, say Capello, came to winning the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not taking away from your point, but it was all 7 teams and they didn’t all get a home draw, most of them did, but not all of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more "the others" can disrupt things like this the better. This season it was Villa instead of Chelsea (though they still drew Barrow at home). Next season could be Forest and us (or Brighton / Bournemouth) instead of Man United and Spurs. Steal as many trophies, league places, and European spots as possible and some of these rules will start to disappear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A plane "water salute" is a traditional aviation ceremony where firefighting vehicles spray water in an arc over a plane, symbolizing respect and marking special occasions like retirements, inaugural flights, the arrival/departure of a significant aircraft or airline, or the winning of a significant trophy!
