Well, so far it's the only cup we've played in this season, so I didn't think it was necessary to put 'league'. And even so, we've still had to be Stoke and Chelsea in it, who put out decent sides. But don't let that stop you putting words in my mouth. I'll be careful next time I use the word 'the', or should I say THE word? Just in case it suggests to the clever witted that I'm claiming it's the greatest thing in the world.
Yeah, so blame them, not him. He isn't the one kicking the ball. He can only do the tactics and the style of play. For all we know they might be banging them in during training sessions.
Which of course it will be should you win it. If you don't it'll revert back to Mickey Mouse and something you didn't want to win anyway. It's the carling cup, it is not and never will be THE cup.
Yeah, because that's what I've said all along, haven't I... And don't say 'I mean Liverpool fans in general', because you don't. You've heard one or two say it and have tarred us all with the same brush. It would be good for us to win a cup this season, and I don't care which. The only difference is one offers the charity shield.
That is the correct attitude, and one that we have always had. But, sorry to say this, it has been the general party line from Liverpool fans that the Carling is the Mikey Mouse cup, and that's because as a rule you don't get too far in it. This year though, well, best thing since the europa league last season. Until you got knocked out of course.
Recently! I know fine well who's won it most, which is all the more baffling as to why of late it's been dismissed as not worth winning.
Maybe Rafa didn't put out the best sides, but you can hardly accuse Dalglish of doing the same. We're taking it seriously this season because we want to win it. I doubt Kenny will claim he wasn't interested in winning it if City knock us out. Nor will the majority of us.
