The dippers in work bought into it, they got quite angry when i giggled about the Europa League being like the Leyland Daf trophy
Probably the post I was searching so as to have a relatively clear picture of the situation...
I must have missed some serious media BS lately. Because I will admit, first time I heard about this nonsense was yesterday, following our match, by the well known lady "journalist". It was the beginning of the post match discussion, I think, to which I passed as a) wasn't in the mood, and b) had more serious things to do...
OK. First comment would be, every time City won the Carabao Cup in the recent past (a Cup already won by Liverpool this season, in 118' vs Chelsea), I clearly remember rival fans, Liverpool fans particularly included, addressing it as the Micky Mouse Cup. But that is minor...
I literally could not believe what I had just heard -and yes, I can count from 1 to 4. It seems there are (actually were) media people (which means, people professionally involved with the sport) out there, as well as Liverpool fans, talking about the possibility of a "quadruple", am I correct? A "quadruple", however, with a very specific content. Let me get this straight: Leaving aside the fact that missing CL football is an emphatic failure in itself (which everyone seems to conveniently forget as Jürgen is such a nice guy, right?), these people are (actually were) referring to a possible "quadruple" that DID NOT include the CL trophy. Which would present what, a historic achievement, like canceling out City's treble? Seriously?
It reminded me of a similar discussion two years ago. The same club was involved (obviously...), the difference being, back then there was indeed a CL trophy in the horizon. Apparently they were left with just two Cups in the end, both won in penalties, if I remember well. Still they did not hesitate proceeding to their glorious ... parade, did they? Celebrating like, what the fuck exactly?
Anyway. The media creating BS stories and myths, nothing new about that. The thing is, you can never claim you've seen it all in this life. Or heard it all. Never ever. I mean it. Because life will prove you fucking wrong. Period.
