We can still hear the whining Scouse tones of the pinch-faced lad justifying his drinking milk to his mate all the way back from the eighties.. perhaps. Whilst it’s caused much mirth around the footballing world to see ’sleeping giants’ or ‘former European champions’ humbled by a team that was the epitome of shite for so many of us in the 1980’s, to be honest, I’m not that bothered.
I didn’t venture to the game, but by all accounts it wasn’t inspiring - but frankly, are we ever likely to win the Carling Cup? No. So why worry about taking it seriously or not - sure, a cup run can be lucrative, but it can also create injury problems, tiredness and all that goes with it - the most important thing for us right now is to get our arses out of League One. So bollocks to the Carling Cup, the FA Cup, and definitely the LDV Vans trophy (or whatever it’s called now) and let’s keep our league run intact!
