It probably would have been more palitable if we hadn’t already been turned over by spurs 11 days previous and I personally would have prefered a half fringe/ half first team squad to at least given some payback for the daylight robbery they performed on ‘that’ saturday !
Having won the league cup more than any other team , are we prepared to lose that record too , Hmmm ….
Silverware is silverware and can make the difference between a double and or treble winning season …
Does anyone remember when the league cup became the ‘couldnt care less ‘ cup ? Was it when it started being sponsored rather than run by the FA ? I guess when it changed its name to ‘the Milk cup’ … it all started to go sour …

Worded brilliantly Tonka, and if The Carling Cup is the cost of getting Torres’ fitness back then I think ‘Carling’ came out second best.

Ron, I wouldn’t get upset about last nights reserve match. i actually thought that getting beat 4-2 was not a bad result based upon the team that was put out to play. It was obvious that Rafa didn’t care if we were put out and I think most of the fan base don’t care either. I think we are chasing bigger fish this season and risking our best players in a mickey mouse cup would have been silly. The Carling Cup really needs sorting out. It’s not treated with any respect anymore – it only exists for the teams who have no chance of winning the league in order to give their fans something to cheer about and a day out for the final if they get there. This can be clearly seen by the teams that were put out by the top four. ManU scrape through with a penalty against QPR, Chelsea beaten at home by Burnley, Liverpool seconds put out against a virtually full strength Spurs for a Torres fitness session and an Arsenal under19 side fielded against Wigan. It’s a bit of a joke really.
