ollie Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 So what's the history behind the Psycho nickname? (Yeah, I could look it up on wikipedia but where's the fun in that?)I'm too new to know not to follow the Carling Cup. I am a sucker for a tournament. Plus it's fun to watch for the upsets.

ollie Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 while the carling cup may not be the most glamourous pieces of silverware jon nic seems to enjoy it ...to me [the League Cup] is like the mousy little lass who sits quietly at the back of the class but bangs like a bog door in a hurricane when you get a couple of brandies in her.Giddy up!!

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Psycho playing for England, not sure who his clubs were- i'm thinking West ham for some reason. basically he was a bit of a pyscho on the pitch, a 'hard man' as they're known, screamed a lot and that sorta thingv. good player, apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Pseudocup with extra money for the coffers. Its cool to see the small clubs do well. I can appreciate that.It was a cute consolation for ManU's poorish season last year but lets remain realistic about it all. A nice victory for Southend. I am sure those fans got rippingly wasted.

ollie Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 So why is the FA Cup considered a bigger deal when the only difference between it and the league cup is the watered down field in the qualifying rounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 i suspect the FA cup has been around longer, is more inclusive (i.e. in theory any pro team can win it) and there's always royalty attending the finalthe league cup just seems like an add on competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Well, yeah, I can figure that stuff out: more inclusive, more history, etc. But looking at it objectively shouldn't the cup with the higher calibre field (i.e. top 4 divisions only) be considered more prestigious?
