The Treble

[aguero93:20]

Given the Community Shield as well (isn't that right, Jose?) I'd prefer to call it the domestic Grand Slam, just for the sputtering out of outrage.

Such a shame the kids lost to Sunderland, we could have seen stress induced aneurysms the length and breadth of the country.

The league, FA Cup and CL is the harder treble to win (on paper). However, a team has achieved that. So, considering no team has done the dometic treble, that is actually a tougher acomplishment is it not?!

The fact is, if we won the domestic treble the media would say the rag team was more successful and ignore the fact that no other team had achieved what we have.

How amazing would it be, if 20 years on from Gillingham (just after the rags had done the treble), we won the quadruple!!!

Imagine if someone had said to us in 99 we would have the chance to do this in 20 years time! And that we would have already won three league titles, the FA Cup and several league cups too!

Was hoping someone would include the Community Shield as well..... Hopefully throw in the FA Youth Cup too

Er. I could have phrased that better with hindsight.

And the continental cup and chance of the wsl title too.

But the rag team would not have been more successful on a domestic level.

Dont worry. That bastion leading the way on fighting sexism called The FA have got your back...

There’s no such thing as an illegitimate treble, unless someone tries including the Community Shield! A treble is a treble.

I would be delighted with a PL, FA Cup and League Cup treble. But a PL, CL and FA /League Cup treble would undoubtedly be better. Given a choice between winning the FA Cup or CL its not a difficult decision to make.

There could / should be 3 open top buses at the parade for the men, women and youth team. The youth team already win the PL Cup
