I was quite please that the Blue Noses won but for all their singing and chanting yesterday, I still do not not the words to the song Keep Right On.
Mark, most foreign managers don't see the point of the League Cup either. I think its half the reason why its significance seems to get less and less each year. As one of my Villa friends said yesterday "Silverware is silverware and I'm going to hate seeing them in Europe next year". As a rival supporter I can see his point but the League Cup still gets you into Europe which for a team like Birmingham isn't something they are going to be complaining about.

I remember watching the Carling Cup semi-final last year between Man Utd and Man City. Try telling the fans who went to that game that it doesn't matter! It was an electric atmosphere.
It's a chance for the other 88 clubs in the football league to win something ;) The only reason that people don't rate it is because the top half of the premier**** and the media have told us that we shouldn't care. In truth every single fan should be delighted if their team gets some silverware.Quote:

I commented to my old man about that. The Birmingham players looked absolutely ecstatic about winning, genuinely excited to have the trophy, I just can't imagine the Arsenal players reacting in the same way. Losing is something that brought out the emotion, winning would probably have been about going through the motions.Quote:

Well tomorrow will be an experience for me. Instead of watching Peterborough v Exeter City I'll take in the sights of the Nou Camp for Barcelona v R. Zaragoza :bounce: Properly excited about it :D
Liverpool 3 - Man Utd 1
Usually when Man Utd lose, you hear Sir Alex go on the telly and tell how the referee was crap, or the linesman was crap, or something was horrid but never that his side were outplayed and lost to opponents who played better and did well on the day.
Sir Alex's response to the BBC and even MUTV was... silence.
Perhaps that he know that there is nothing and no-one to blame up himself and his players and the old adage that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything might be true because Sir Alex hasn't said anything nice for so long that he's incapable.
All I know is, that the silence is golden.
