Ferguson knew the importance of winning even small trophies. Mourinho has always targetted the league cup when he first arrives at a club because he knows the importance of winning a first trophy. Every City fan can speak to how the air around the club changed after the FA Cup win.
I think when Pochettino sits at home watching the last MOTD of the season, big glass of malbec in his hand, he'll regret saying the league cup was not a real trophy and having his team play like they did last night.
This is a man who's been managing for 8 years and has never won anything.
This is the manager of a club whose only trophy in the last 26 years was the League Cup he thinks they are above.
He's made a big mistake yesterday IMO, thrown away by far his best chance of winning silverware at Spurs.
Tick tock. That's one less trophy they have a chance of winning before the summer exodus. Well done Wham.
I think they have a chance of the title this season, they're a very good team.
Being in the CL and with a good chance of the title and having a few injuries they'd have been nuts not to rest a few players.
Juande Ramos won the cup with Spurs, much good it did him.
I've loved both our league cup victories and don't think it's a worthless trophy, but equally it doesn't worry me when we rest players for it and play a second string.Don’t you think that Spurs' squad is much better than the one that Ramos worked with?
I agree with those posters, who say there are no negatives to winning a trophy, even one as poorly regarded as the League Cup.
I thoroughly enjoyed our LC runs in both ‘14 and ‘16.

No , it was an attack specific to Spurs and their fans , (Spurs 2017/18 thread sort of gives it away) they have this deluded concept that in the 50 years i have been supporting MCFC , they have always been a bigger club than City , and they never have and never will be , even before our "oil money" we were always the bigger more successful club with better attendances , youve had "star" players like Gascoigne,Lineker,Klinsmaann, Ardilles etc., to fill a few headlines in the media on big money and achieved nothing . Your theory about me taking the piss out of football "supporters" who follow clubs with zero success is complete unfounded bullshit, i go to as many games as i can watching Southport F.C. where we had a difficult season last year being relegated to the National League. We have a hardcore support of 1200-1500 and will probably never win anything , in fact we did a lap of honour when we got a corner last season .butr these 1200 or so supporters are worth more than 100,000 deluded southern shandy drinking wankers like you.
Move on. You’re worse than that little dwarf who manages you for carrying shit on long after the moment has passed.No, you weren't. Your saying so is no better than the Spurs fans who clearly riled you by saying the opposite.
As to your original post being specific to Spurs and their fans, I suggest that you reread it. You specifically mentioned another club in addition to Spurs!
