Just I've made a concerted effort to tone down my responses to postings and be decidely less agressive, I see others have taken it upon themselves to slate each others teams. As I said before, I thought it was just me. Like Le Boss once said, we all think we have the best wife at home.

Totally agree Atila that shouldn't slate other teams off and that is the rule I also follow, however there is always a natural urge to put United back in their box ;-)


Just ordered my United v Liverpool ticket - if there are any Mancs driving up I will be on best behaviour if I can have a lift!?

Matt - if you stand outside your local Chinese restaurant, you will probably get a lift to Old Trafford from there.

It's the League Cup Final on Sunday, and it reminded me of a time when the League Cup was similar in prestige to the FA Cup. Of course both Cups have fallen somewhat in the public imagination as the Champions League and Premiership have both got stronger and stronger.


So, what is everyone's favourite / most memorable League Cup Final?


For me it's a close call between 1982 (Spurs) and 1983 (Man Utd) when both times I listened on the Radio as Liverpool came from behind to win in extra time. If I'm to plump for one it'd be 1982 versus Spurs, who believe it or not had a fantastic team, and were Liverpool's closest rivals for silverware. That was a game when young bucks Ronnie Whelan and Ian Rush really made their mark with their Wembley goals.

2005 FA Cup final against Man U, we were rubbish but Paddy Vieira scored a pen with his last kick as an Arsenal player and the faces of the Man U supporters behind the goal was a picture to behold.


The Charlie George Final and THAT celebration


The Final against Chelsea, and the goal that ONLY Ray Parlour scored


The 5 minute final against Man U.................so many memories

Too many finals to remember. My first league cup final against Aston Villa at the old Wembley in '71 was pretty good although we didn't play that well but Martin Chivers scored two fantastic goals and that made it pretty special. 2-1 against Chelsea in '67 in the FA Cup and last year's 2-1 win against Chelsea again was great.

81' and 82' were brilliant. We had a fantastic team then, Hoddle, Ardiles, Villa, Perryman, Archibald and Crooks. Great times.

I'm going to Wembley on Sunday and of course if we beat Man Utd it will be right up there with the best of them.

Don't really enjoy finals, far too nerve racking, but as a Utd fan it would have to be winning against Palace in '90. Fergies' first trophy and the rest is history as they say.


As a neutral I thought last years final was good value with Spurs coming from behind to beat Chavski 2-1.


I seem to remember a few really unfashionable teams getting their mitts on the trophy - Leicester, Oxford? Where are they now?


I think the prestige of the trophy suffers with the dubious sponsorship, I mean what is going on with the Rumbelows Cup?!

I think by the time Leicester won it, it was on it's way down. It used to be right up there with the FA Cup until Arsenal and United starting undermining it with reserve teams. When Oxford won it, in I think 1985, that was a pretty big deal but not anymore! Although I'm sure Spurs will have an open top bus around North London if they win it ;-)

It's amazing how everything can be blamed on United!

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
