Carling Cup 2008 I supposeSo when was the last time we took a cup seriously then? And how did we do in other competitions or the league in those seasons? Just wondering.

Carling Cup 2008 I suppose
Very SpursyAnd how did we perform following that?
fuck you for posting thatSo... that's:
Europa League 2014: Outplayed and beaten in the first knockout match
FA Cup 2014: Lost at home in the first match
League Cup 2014: Lost in the FINAL!!! (err... playing all lower league and one bottom of the table Prem club on the way)
League Cup 2015: Lost at home in the first match
:chadliblow:
My favorite was Birmingham City beating Woolwich in 2011 but yeah I know what you meanI meant more league wise. I tend to remember awful form following 2 points from 8 games the following season. I'm of course not blaming the cup for this form but we didn't tend to take the cups seriously during our most successful period of the last 10 years.
Carling cup. I bet you can't name the last 5 winners.
fuck you for posting that
Seriously, that's really confronting if you look at it that way.
I aint getting all this Poch hate. It was the rumbalows/milk/capital one cup for fucks sake. It`s a second rate competition which big clubs famously use to rotate there squad and give some game time to squad players. (we are a big club, aren`t we). If we`d put our strongest team out against the filths second string then what would that be saying. It would be like admitting it was our cup final. We gave Woolwich the respect they deserve,. i.e none....We lost, but we lost probably the most unimportant match we could ever play against them. Whats more worrying to me is that so many of you consider last nights squabble more important than the upcoming match against Man City. That just shows how much the club, and our expectations have fallen over the last 3 or 4 years. We probably wont beat City either, but this is damn well the sort of game a club of our standing should be targeting as the big one. Not some minor 3rd round cup match, albeit against our local rivals. Fuck Woolwich, fuck their meaningless little victory last night, and fuck Daniel Levy for lowering our expectations so much that chasing the champions league positions is no longer considered a viable and ultimate target.
edit. I think I put this in the wrong thread. It should probalby be moved to the Woolwich match thread.

I'm saying that a club of our stature and fanbase should NOT be in a position where we prioritise a capital one cup tie over a league game. Regardless of the opposition. I would hope Poch feels the same way.Cup competitions are the only chance that we can win a trophy. And we don't always win a trophy nowadays and you are saying we can give it up easily because it's 2nd rate?
EL shouldn't be considered 2nd rate. Winning it gets us in the CL. Winning the CoC just gets us back in the EL. Big differenceEL is a 2nd rate competition, at least in Poch eyes as he doesn't really seem to fancy it. Now the CC is also a 2nd rate competition.
