He was such a baller as a youngster. Would have been a slam dunk in his prime.

Exactly its meaningless, City have become in a very few years the joint highest winner of it. I doubt even they care very much.I think it's City with the most, which doesn't exactly do much to prove that trophy means much
It's the least important of the English cups and feels more like a vanity project for the football league who are jealous of the much more prestigious FA Cup.
You’re missing the point. The status of a competition is completely disconnected from the club you support. It can be judged entirely on its own merits.
Term literally means nothing so no it isn’t.
True but. . . the fact a Cup isn’t as prestigious as others doesn’t make it [insert made up term here].
Crying like a little *****.
Has missed their matches against. . . City, Chelsea x 3, United & Spurs due to injury this season. Yes he is.
Wow, nobody here is in a position to call anything the Mickey Mouse Cup or similar. I’d love for United to be in this final, I’d pay money for us to win it actually. Crying for the Champions League? Well, that’s not going to happen is it.. the Carabao should have been our biggest priority this season.
United-fans on high horses with a nose in the air looks so pathetic in 2022, Roy Keane left 20 years ago and we haven’t won in ten. Yawn.
But you can’t, and teams don’t, look at these things in isolation. So a competition’s status will always be linked to a team’s ambitions, the competitiveness of the league system, a club’s recent history etc…
I agree with you that it should be judged on its own merits, but that just can’t be the reality in the world of football.
It’s value will always oscillate depending on those factors.
Every football fan anywhere knows what the term “mickey mouse cup” means. It means a trophy that is less prestigious than the other, more important, trophies clubs compete for. I don’t know why people are finding this so hard to grasp.
CL and PL miles ahead of all the rest.
Then the FA Cup (if only for romantic/nostalgic reasons)
Then the Europa League
Then the Carabao Cup
Then the Charity Shield
You could argue the toss about where exactly the FA Cup sits on that continuum (and I’m sure many will) but the rest is all indisputable.
This./
United fans taking the piss out of Thiago crying at missing a Final is akin to someone starving laughing at a Billionaire being served an over cooked steak.
I'd laugh at Bezos
You need to stop taking things so seriously.
No ones finishing it hard to grasp though, who’s claiming the cup is more prestigious than the ones you mentioned. I can see this will lead into our usual back & forth on the specifics & you’ve got enough of them going on in here already.
You’d laugh at Bezos cause he exists in your world, unfortunately you don’t register for him Queenchoker. I’d rather eat an overdone steak once in a while on my yacht than die of starvation on the streets of Manchester.
Thanks.
You’re welcome.
Seems like Thiago isn't the only crybaby around today.
Players especially from aboard see trophies as trophies
Zlatan counted it
Thiago would count it
Players want trophies and medals

A way to waste 2 posts in your daily allowance, let’s go for 3. . .
I have no interest in posting in here 100x a day like yourself anyway.
I'll rather have a player crying that he is missing out on a game due to injury than to have the alternative which is having players who can't even give a damn when playing.
& . . . 4.
It was all for nothing
Some of our lads would be happy they get to put their feet up.
From the same guy bleating in this post. . .
. . . Despite his own team losing in said Mickey Mouse cup to West Ham.
A bit boy that cried wolf there but nice try, post didn’t land as you expected.

I don’t agree with you but I like this post
are you guys really mocking a guy who gives a shit while you cry frequently on match days about players who couldn't be arsed showing up for your side?If you had more players with that mentality you wouldn't be in the position you are in.

He’s only emotional because he’s probably overdosed a load of PEDs
Way to get yourself and Redcafe in trouble. I'd delete that now.He’s only emotional because he’s probably overdosed a load of PEDs
Remember when the league Cup was for the kids?
I remember when it was called the milk cup and Freddos cost a tuppence.
Yeah but this one is called carabao… Mickey Mouse’s cup would sound better and less plastic and corporate.
Milk cup was a youth competition. Not the same as the league Cup. I remember when Freddos were released, they changed the game, out went the macaroon and time bars.
The League Cup was definitely called the Milk Cup at some point in the 80s.
We were happier back then!
He never should've left us.
While I do agree that it would be quite hilarious if he was really that upset about not being able to play this second tier competition, wouldn't it be more likely that he cried because of - well - the actual injury? He's an injury prone player and I can see why another setback after he finally started to play well for a longer period would hurt him a lot. Do we know what injury he picked up?
Are people really criticizing a player for wanting to play?
Can you imagine if this was a cup final for us and one of our players were injured?
Somehow I doubt there will be tears more likely they will have pulled out the week before because they felt a bit tired and wanted to spend the day shopping or something
