Calculus Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Nothing to do wit'h last night's performance, which obviously was inexcusable and awful, but looking at the effort that clubs put into it, isn't it time to abloish the league cup? From the Prem downwards, we play too many fixtures in a year with players aften over tired. Players, managers and fans don't seem to be bothered any more and we even have Warnock saying that he's even glad they're out. and not that I blame him. The League Cup seems to have little more value than the JPT : time to get rid, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_Lemon Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Best thing to do is abolish the JPT trophy. Leave the league cup for all teams apart from PL clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somered Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Best thing to do is abolish the JPT trophy. Leave the league cup for all teams apart from PL clubs. Totally agree. I have always wondered how PL clubs can enter a competition which is run by an organisation that they are not even members of. (The Football League).

'Orns Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Best thing to do is abolish the JPT trophy. Leave the league cup for all teams apart from PL clubs. Bang on, and no seeding either. So what if two bigger clubs get each other in the first round. Hate seeding with a passion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Best thing to do is abolish the JPT trophy. Leave the league cup for all teams apart from PL clubs. Been saying this for years. Also, give a Champions League place to the F.A cup winners and restore some of the magic. Fergie and Wenger wouldn't be putting out second-strings then.....

East End Old Boy Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well, I've had the privilege of being able to see two League Cup semi-finals (1971 & 1989?) only to see us unlucky fail. Now waiting for the "third time lucky", if we ever get past the first round again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Don't abolish the JPT Trophy. It's the only thing we're any good at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
