Some % Villa - Carling Dropping League Cup
« on: September 27, 2011, 01:44:29 PM »
Just heard on the Beeb that Carling are no longer going to sponsor the League Cup. Also reported in Guardian Sport

They obviously concluded that if Bloose could win it no-one was taking it seriously

I wonder if this is the beginning of the end for the competition?

Shame if it is.

Somebody else will take up its sponsorship I'm sure.

Why? It's proper title is the Football League Cup, just stick with that and can't go wrong.

It's a competition that's provided me with far more happy memories than than its older sister, and as much as I'd like to give the older sister a go once in my lifetime, I've enjoyed many a romantic Wednesday night with the younger one. And a few memorable weekends in London too!

Nobody calls it the Football League Cup.

Nobody under the age of 40. Villa have only won the Football League Cup & the Coca Cola Cup.

Milk Cup (1982 to 1986)
Littlewoods Challenge Cup (1986 to 1990)
Rumbelows Cup (1990 to 1992)
Coca-Cola Cup (1992 to 1998)
Worthington Cup (1998 to 2003)
Carling Cup (2003 to 2012)
