Boast about winning the League fucking Cup? Erm, why? I wouldn't boast about our winning any trophy. I couldn't give a fuck what fans of other clubs think.
I was there in '08, it was great but honestly I thought it would it lead to better things. It didn't. Getting into the CL IS important, allows you to keep hold of your better players which we generally have.
Mate if you're only in it for the trophies maybe you should support somebody else. To me your attitude us what is wrong with modern day fans, self-entitled whinging bastards who think their team should be winning everything each and every season and when they don't demand the manager to be sacked and go around thinking 'Woe is me, why do I support such a sucky team".
Grow the fuck up!
