  • Manchester City have won their 8th League Cup title, the joint-most alongside Liverpool.

  • City are 1 of just 2 teams to win the competition in 4 consecutive seasons (Liverpool, 1981-1984).

  • Pep Guardiola has become the 1st manager to win the League Cup in 4 consecutive seasons.

  • Guardiola has now won 9 trophies as manager of City, an average of 1 trophy every 32 games.

  • No manager has won the League Cup more times than Guardiola (4 - level with Brian Clough, Alex Ferguson and José Mourinho).
 
Slightly off topic with the league cup won and the league looking very close,where do we stand in the trophies won table I know the rags or red scousers are top but we must be moving up that table .
 
They've not added our 8th league cup there yet, which would take the cups up to 15 and the total to 28.

8 LC, 6 FAC, 1 ECWC.

We are 5th most successful on major honours, we were joint 5th with Villa until yesterday.

21 major honours.

Chelsea have 24 while being favourite for the FA Cup. The quad would have put us joint 4th. Never mind though, not doing too bad City, are they? :)

Can't find a wiki page for a major honours list but talksport did one which they updated in Jan(looks like they will keep updating):


The only problem I have with it is the Inter-Cities-Fairs-Cup is not a major honour for me, nor do UEFA recognise it as one. The UEFA Cup which it turned into is, but that's because of the rule changes, the biggest one being that it was no longer invite only. Teams then had to qualify by their league position from 1971-1999, after that it merged with the ECWC and qualification by cup wins was added. There was no one club per city limit either. I still don't see how a serious final can be played over 2 legs though, they should have changed that too.
