Okay okay, so the original post was completely wrong, but there was a distinct lack of reporting yesterday of the fact that we won the league cup, on all media news outlets. I recorded ITN and BBC and we got less than 10 seconds combined. Sky showed abit more, but they had the TV rights so they had to get their money's worth.
I thought that I would wake up this morning to find more reporting of the cup final, but nothing but a whimper.
Fuck the domestic cups, let the kids have a run out and throw everything we have in the PL and CL.
Seriously, what's the point anymore? We've had 3 wembley finals since 2011 against opponents such as Stoke, Wigan and Sunderland. Why? coz nobody gives a fook about the fa cup, the league cup or even the England football team. The Fa might as well shut up shop and let the PL run the lot.
Rant over
Jesus Christ, what a tantrum that is - all because in your mind you've not seen enough in the papers.
The paper review this morning on sky news had sub headlines of our triumph on every front page, even the broad sheets. I have no idea what the actual articles were like, however. All the shows on talksport today have mentioned the game. There is a 9 page pull out here I'm the evening news. Sky news actually had a breaking news story immediately after the game.
As for who we have faced, and I'm guessing you mean we have only faced those teams because nobody is taking the two cup seriously? That's a nonsense for a start. Bet big money united would have loved to have been there yesterday, as would the other top teams who, as I type this, remain trophyless. The reason we have faced who we have faced is because in both our FA cup campaigns where we've reached the final, we've knocked 2 of those top teams out in the semi's. United got knocked out by our opponents yesterday in this competition.
Whether we have had enough reporting of the win is up to each person individually to make their own minds up about. Personally I saw plenty of us this morning alone, as stated above, so there's no issue there for me. Others, like you, seem to think the opposite. Either way nothing changes result, so who cares?
